[SOLVED] Mysqli support is missing

I have loaded Mysql to my localhost with apache 2. My shopping cart installation gives the message

Problems with your MySQL (mysqli) support. Your server appears to be missing the mysqli extension for PHP, and without it we cannot connect to your database.

How do I add it on Fedora 31?

Thanks

Your shopping cart may require other modules...

sudo dnf install php php-common
sudo dnf install php-mysqlnd php-xml php-json php-gd php-mbstring

Google lately...

I have Googled it and nothing is available.

I will try your suggestions.

Thanks

As michaelk noted, Google has much information on this. You don't say what version of PHP or MySQL, but given the message it's likely you've just updated to the latest PHP, which means your PHP code will need a "mysqli_connect" call, instead of "mysql"...which means your shopping cart software updated, and you're missing the php-mysqli package:

$ sudo dnf install php-mysqli

You will HAVE TO update your PHP MySQL calls to use the mysqli methods.

I have loaded the latest LAMP MariaDB

I think you have given the right install candidate.

I will try that thanks.

That sudo dnf install php-mysqli worked thanks
