Symfony: An exception occured in driver: could not find driver with mysql

I'm trying to connect with my DB (mysql) which is running on a server (docker). I'm programming on Windows.

In my symfony project I have done the following: parameters.yml

-> filled in the correct parameters

config.yml

doctrine:
    dbal:
        driver: pdo_mysql
        host: '%database_host%'
        port: '%database_port%'
        dbname: '%database_name%'
        user: '%database_user%'
        password: '%database_password%'

php.ini

extension=php_mysqli.dll
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll

After all of this I get the following error: An exception occured in driver: could not find driver

Anyone who can help since I have tried some solutions that were provided but none worked or were for linux systems.

You must install mysql :

sudo apt install php-mysql

Ok, I made a very stupid mistake. I was editing the php.ini file, but I didn't renamed it to php.ini (it was php.ini-prod). Afterwards I just had to put the correct path in extension_dir and it's working.

Hopefully this helps others.

comment this line in your .env file. yourproject/.env

#DATABASE_URL="postgresql://db_user:db_password@127.0.0.1:5432/db_name?serverVersion=13&charset=utf8"file

and delete # in first of your mysql config code

set your username and password in this part

DATABASE_URL="mysql://usename:password@127.0.0.1:3306/test?serverVersion=5.7"
