Getting the following error when trying to access phpMyAdmin

The mysqli|mysql extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration. See our documentation for more information

Hi n1kko

Open php.ini
search for this two line.

;extension=php_mysql.dll
;extension=php_mysqli.dll

remove semi-colon and save it.

if you still getting error then try with different php version.

Which Operating System you are using.

Hi

Stop Apache and MySQL, close Ampps

Run this two commands in your Terminal.

cd /usr/local/lib

ln -s /Applications/AMPPS/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib

Ok I have created the lib directory and ran

ln -s /Applications/AMPPS/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib

now get Permission denied after running above command.

I had exactly the same error and was tearing my hair out because the mysqli.so file was in the correct place. So Rishi_P, how did you figure out the solution ? Very neat.
Thanks for this -- saved me a ton of time and frustration. :-)
