I also tried to write some piece of code of php as below:

 $con=mysqli_connect("127.0.0.1","root","xxxxxxx","morris_db");
 if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
 echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
 }

and open my browser, and type localhost/index.php, it shows me an error about "Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysqli_connect() in C:\Users\Jarek\mywebsite\index.php on line 8"

Answer 1

Try adding these extensions in the PHP.ini

extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_gettext.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

Also check whether the PHP folder exists in the PATH.
