How to install php + mysql on Fedora?

Question

I'm trying to install wordpress locally. I've installed mysql (MariaDB) and php-mysqli. I have user created and database from mysql console and I have this 3 files:

$ cd /etc/php.d/
$ cat 30-mysqli.ini 30-pdo_mysql.ini 20-mysqlnd.ini 
; Enable mysqli extension module
extension=mysqli.so
; Enable pdo_mysql extension module
extension=pdo_mysql.so
; Enable mysqlnd extension module
extension=mysqlnd.so

added automatically when I've installed php-mysqli. The files exists in /usr/lib64/php/modules/

but I've restarted httpd server

sudo systemctl restart httpd

still I've got error:

Call to undefined function mysqli_connect()

when using code:

 $link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "wordpress", "wordpress", "wordpress");

When I run phpinfo() I got this in modules section, but no configuration for mysql and pdo configuration have only sqlite.

function get_loaded_extensions() don't return mysql extension.

And php -i show config for mysql and mysql pdo.

I've also tried to restart the system but this didn't take any effect.

How can I install php + mysql on Fedora 27? I have php 7.1.22.

EDIT: it seems that the ini files for mysql are not parsed they are not on the list of files. The files are read access and they are owned by root like other files:

$ ls -l {30-mysqli.ini,30-pdo_mysql.ini,20-mysqlnd.ini}
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 55 09-12 07:12 20-mysqlnd.ini
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 53 09-12 07:12 30-mysqli.ini
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 59 09-12 07:12 30-pdo_mysql.ini

EDIT2:

$ php --ri mysqli && php --ri mysqlnd && php --ri pdo && php --ri pdo_mysql

Answer 1

Your PHP configuration appears correct.

Strangely, with httpd and a few other services, it seems that sometimes systemctl restart doesn't actually appear to do anything. But systemctl stop followed by systemctl start will properly restart the service.

Answer 2

To install PHP, simply type:

$ sudo dnf install php-cli

Above command will install latest stable PHP packages, which includes the command-line interface executing PHP scripts, /usr/bin/php executable, and the CGI interface.

You might want to install some other packages, e.g. PHPUnit for unit tests or Composer to manage dependencies of PHP projects. You can install them with:

$ sudo dnf install phpunit composer

PHP modules

PHP provides only a few set of extensions, other should be installed separately. Packages of PHP modules are prefixed with php-, so if you need e.g. mysqli extension, use:

$ sudo dnf install php-mysqli

PHP Development Server

PHP contains simple web server which can be used instead of full-featured web server. It is intended to be used only for development, not for a production environment.

You can start PHP development server by typing this in your project’s root:

$ sudo php --server localhost:8080 --docroot .

Server will be accessible on http://localhost:8080/.

Answer 3

To install MySQL you need to check first whether you have mysql or mysql Server Installed.

rpm -q mysql Then you'll know about your package yum install mysql mysql-server

Thus after the installation you need to check with command

rpm -q mysql-server

ANd thats it you are all good to go with mysql on Fedora.
