Php: How can I add pdo_mysql?

[yousan]

I have an error when running Laravel5.

PDOException in Connector.php line 119:
could not find driver

I checked which PDO driver is installed and found sqlite.

$ docker run -it php:7.0 php -r 'phpinfo();' | grep pdo
pdo_sqlite

How can I add pdo_mysql?

you have a to build a new image based on this one, and use this command in the Dockerfile:

RUN docker-php-ext-install pdo_mysql

take a look at more detailed documentation there : https://hub.docker.com/_/php/

Really thank you!

I'm running a container without dockerfile, how would I do in this case? I would like to install "pdo_mysql" and "GD" php modules.
I'm running with the command:
docker run -d -p 3030:80 --name anchor-blog-1 -v "$PWD":/var/www/html php:7.0-apache

@tghelere you _could_ do that without a Dockerfile, but it’s going to be a pain: you’d need to write a command that install the modules and then starts apache. and it would need to do so each time you start the container..

something like:

docker run -d -p 3030:80 --name anchor-blog-1 -v "$PWD":/var/www/html php:7.0-apache bash -c "docker-php-ext-install pdo_mysql gd; apache2-foreground" (not tested)

I wasted alot of time trying to install pdo_mysql using apt-get, and forget that docker phalcon offers an easy way to do this by using docker-php-ext-install pdo_mysql

RUN docker-php-ext-install pdo_mysql

Solved my problem!! Thanks
