An Error Was Encountered - Invalid DB driver ? - jocm.aguiar - 11-19-2019

Hi,

I believe I have made all the necessary settings to work with mysql database in CI3 3.1.11 but I come across invalid drive, the server I use is Apache2, Mysql-server5.7.28, Php7.3 below follows my settings and error print:

File autoload.php, setup :

Code:
$autoload['libraries'] = array('database');

File database.php, setup :

Code:
$active_group = 'default';

$query_builder = TRUE;

$db['default'] = array(

    'dsn'    => '',

    'hostname' => 'localhost',

    'username' => 'myuser',

    'password' => 'mypass',

    'database' => 'mydatabase',

    'dbdriver' => 'mysqli',

    'dbprefix' => '',

    'pconnect' => FALSE,

    'db_debug' => (ENVIRONMENT !== 'production'),

    'cache_on' => FALSE,

    'cachedir' => '',

    'char_set' => 'utf8',

    'dbcollat' => 'utf8_general_ci',

    'swap_pre' => '',

    'encrypt' => FALSE,

    'compress' => FALSE,

    'stricton' => FALSE,

    'failover' => array(),

    'save_queries' => TRUE

);

File config.php, setup to session work with database :

Code:
$config['sess_driver'] = 'database';

$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_sessions';

$config['sess_expiration'] = 0;

$config['sess_save_path'] = 'ci_sessions';

$config['sess_match_ip'] = TRUE;

$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;

$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE;

Make an empty file containing only the following, looks like you haven't installed mysqli. Or you haven't activated it in your php.ini file.

Code:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

And press CTRL+F and search for "mysqli".

Don't be this problem as it runs on an earlier version.
