How to install pdo_mysql to /usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20190902/ ?
Hi, I'm just started learning PHP. And I am using the built-in HTTP server on Mac (Monterey 12.4 & PHP Version 7.4.29).
When trying to connect with the MySQL database with PDO it shows:
could not find driver
I uncommented this line on the php.ini extension=pdo_mysql
But now the server shows:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'pdo_mysql' (tried: /usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20190902/pdo_mysql (dlopen(/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20190902/pdo_mysql, 0x0009): tried: '/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20190902/pdo_mysql' (no such file)), /usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20190902/pdo_mysql.so (dlopen(/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20190902/pdo_mysql.so, 0x0009): tried: '/usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20190902/pdo_mysql.so' (no such file))) in Unknown on line 0
My understanding is (please correct me if I'm wrong) pdo_mysql is not installed in the PHP extension directory /usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20190902/
Is it possible to check if pdo_mysql is installed in any other directory?
Please let me know how I can solve it and make pdo_mysql work properly.

@jlrdw Already did it but the problem is pdo_mysql is not installed in the extension directory. And now the question is how to install it there?

@tarif_haque should be at /etc/php/8.1/mods-available But your version. Also see:

Sorry I misread you're on a Mac not Linux.
I suggest uninstalling and completely installing fresh.

Did you install php with homebrew? If you check the website below, they recomment installing a separate apache installation via homebrew as the built in version doesn't play nice. The three parts of the site get you to a nice development setup, if you're not planning on using valet or nginx.
