I've tried install Apache, PHP, MySQL, and PHPMyAdmin manually and got the error. Then tried XAMPP and still got the error this error with PHPMyAdmin:

The mysql extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration. <a href="Documentation.html#faqmysql" target="documentation"><img class="icon" src="./themes/pmahomme/img/b_help.png" width="11" height="11" alt="Documentation" title="Documentation" /></a>

I'm clueless of what the issue is. I've tried solutions on the web and none worked so far. This is a new Windows installation and I installed XAMPP on C:.

phpmyadmin xampp localhost mysql

Just add this to your php.ini

extension= php_mysqli.dll

and stop and start apache and MySQL it will work.

I had this issue for the longest time on Xampp 7.4

I had already uncommented the line, however, what helped changing the 

extension=php_mysql

to

 extension=php_mysql.dll
