Summary
Introduction and Sponsorship: Tim Davis introduces the video, sponsored by CyberSalt's Joomla training cohort and mysites.guru.
Identifying the Problem: The video addresses the error "mysqli object is not fully initialized," which occurs after changing PHP versions in Joomla.
Checking PHP Extensions: Tim instructs to go to cPanel or the equivalent in your hosting environment and check the PHP extensions.
Locating the Conflict: Under the PHP extensions, you will find that the mysqli extension is not checked.
Understanding the Conflict: When trying to check mysqli, a conflict with mysqlnd (MySQL Native Driver) is indicated.
Resolving Dependencies: To resolve this, Tim explains the need to turn off nd_mysqli and nd_pdo_mysql first.
Disabling mysqlnd: With nd_mysqli and nd_pdo_mysql turned off, you can now turn off mysqlnd.
Enabling mysqli: After turning off mysqlnd, you can successfully turn on mysqli.
Restoring Site Functionality: Enabling mysqli should resolve the error and restore site functionality in PHP 8.
