That will enable php to load the mysql extension. There should be notes in the php. ini file for that extension. * Thread Starter [martin.li](https://wordpress.org/support/users/martinli-1/) * (@martinli-1) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importing-wordpress-331/#post-5479961) * thanks. it didn’t exist therefore i created it an everything works well.
