 * Hi everyone,I am trying to set up a local WordPress installation using XAMPP,
   but I encountered the following error message:”Your PHP installation appears 
   to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress. Please check
   that the mysqli PHP extension is installed and enabled.”I have checked my XAMPP
   control panel, and both Apache and MySQL appear to be running correctly. I am
   not sure why WordPress is unable to detect the mysqli extension. Should I manually
   enable it in the php.ini file, or is there something else I might be missing 
   in my XAMPP configuration?Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. 
   Thank you!

 * You have to enable the PHP extension mysqli. As you are using XAMPP follow these
