I encountered this problem today and eventually I realize it was the comment on the line before the mysql dll s that was causing the problem   This is what you should have in php ini by default for PHP 5 5 16    extension php exif dll       Must be after mbstring as it depends on it  extension php mysql dll  extension php mysqli dll   Besides removing the semi-colons  you also need to delete the line of comment that came after php exif dll  This leaves you with  extension php exif dll       extension php mysql dll extension php mysqli dll   This solves the problem in my case
