I've created my database on Xampp (Windows 10) and create the table I wanted to insert but when I execute my command php artisan migrate on my PowerShell an error appears

  1   PDOException::("could not find driver")
      C:\xampp\htdocs\dev2\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Database\Connector\Connector.php:70

I've the last version of Xampp with PHP 7.4.2.

Does this answer your question? [Laravel 5 PDOException Could Not Find Driver](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35240414/laravel-5-pdoexception-could-not-find-driver) – Qumber Feb 17 '20 at 13:05
In your (Windows') case, you need to un-comment `extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll`. – Qumber Feb 17 '20 at 13:09
@Qumber Rzvi Yes, I've tried this but in my php.ini the line ";extension=pdo_mysql.so" isn't there – André Guerreiro Feb 17 '20 at 13:29
You don't need the one with `.so` - that's for Linux systems. Find this one `extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll`. – Qumber Feb 17 '20 at 13:35
Yes. If it's not, you can simply add it on a new line. – Qumber Feb 17 '20 at 13:38
I've restarted the server but it still doesn't work – André Guerreiro Feb 17 '20 at 13:50
On my Windows I have installed PHP using Chocolatey and it seems that it has created a conflict. On my xampp, the server use the php installed by Chocolatey and not from Xampp... I've uninstalled php with Chocolatey. I keep you in touch – André Guerreiro Feb 17 '20 at 14:02
Okay it doesn't work at all... I had to reinstall php. I still have the error – André Guerreiro Feb 17 '20 at 14:47
