VistasHow do I install the MySQL extension for PHP 7 on CentOS 8?
I was trying to install WordPress on my CentOS 8 server today when I received this error:
"Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress."
I understand that this extension has been removed in PHP 7 and above.
I've tried both of the following:
sudo yum update
sudo yum install php70w-mysql
sudo yum install php-mysql
However, I receive the following message:
No match for argument: php70w-mysql
Error: Unable to find a match: php70w-mysql
or
No match for argument: php-mysql
Error: Unable to find a match: php-mysql
Please let me know how I can get this MySQL extension installed.
Thanks for your help!

as far as i know, php-mysql does not longer apply for centos8-PHP 7 and more, try this, it should update your PHP installation and enable you to use mysql commands>
yum install php-mysqlnd
do the normal installation process (y) and then, you can test with:
php -m
and check among the enabled modules/extensions, for the ones that start with mysql, you should have at least these two>
restart your apache service, and you should be OK.
