21,024 PointsError: The mysqli extension is missing.
When I click "phpMyAdmin", it gives me an error, The mysqli extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration. See our documentation for more information. http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/doc/html/faq.html#faqmysql I still don't understand what I have to do to solve this even after reading the documentation. Could anyone help?

22,805 PointsBit off topic but for local WordPress development, I'd recommend using Local by Flywheel. It was built to make local development painless for WordPress developers and will more than likely resolve your problem.
You may have an old version of the local environment running so it may be worth upgrading as all the local servers will come with the mysqli package installed:
Hope this helps :)

21,024 PointsHi Liam, Thank you for the kind answer. It worked after I uninstalled MAMP and installed XAMPP. Maybe because I am using Windows?
