postman post result: could not find driver (SQL: select * from "users"-CodePudding

I've a macbook pro with M1 chipset, I'm testing a Laravel web-app with Sanctum Api authentication.

First I send a GET requesto to /sanctum/csrf-cookie to get the cookies, then I send a POST request to the /login endpoint I get the following error:

Illuminate\Database\QueryException: could not find driver (SQL: select * from "users" where "email"

I wonder what is the problem. Anyone can help me? Thank you for any reply.

CodePudding user response：

Thank you Alper for your reply but It didn't work.

I've got the following error:

➜ ~ brew install php-mysql

Warning: No available formula with the name "php-mysql".
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.

CodePudding user response：

it's clear, "could not find driver".

you should try

brew install php-mysql

or you can check this link

edit:

Apparently, this command is not working. I am not on macOS, sorry for that. But you should google "how to activate a php extension on macos" I think. you should activate mysql and PDO extensions.

a solution is this package
another solution is finding php.ini and uncomment mysql and pdo extensions.
another solution is this link

CodePudding user response：

You should enable the pdo_mysqli extension in the php.ini file. Remove ";" from the start of the line.

;extension=pdo_mysql
