I know this is a little late  nevertheless i m answering this for anyone still experiencing this issue on windows  USING XAMPP    Step 1  Verify that there is a mismatch in your PHP version          To do this  open routes web php and create a simple route to return the php information like so    Route  get      function        return response  - gt json        stuff    gt  phpinfo                 and compare this with output from your command line     As we can see  in my case there is a mismatch  this usually happens if you have multiple versions of php installed    Step 2  Add the php version being used by your xampp to your system path   Step 3  Verify that you have the extension enabled in your php ini file   NB  Make sure you are editing the php ini file that is shown under the  loaded configuration file  entry in the results of phpinfo   command
