Unable to migrate database

[harrychengly]

Hi, I am trying to migrate the database but however i encountered this problem:

"Illuminate\Database\QueryException : could not find driver (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = 2ndshoe and table_name = migrations)

at C:\xampp\htdocs\2ndshoeapp\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Database\Connection.php:664
660| // If an exception occurs when attempting to run a query, we'll format the error
661| // message to include the bindings with SQL, which will make this exception a
662| // lot more helpful to the developer instead of just the database's errors.
663| catch (Exception $e) {

664| throw new QueryException(
665| $query, $this->prepareBindings($bindings), $e
666| );
667| }
668|

Exception trace:

1 PDOException::("could not find driver")
C:\xampp\htdocs\2ndshoeapp\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Database\Connectors\Connector.php:68

2 PDO::__construct("mysql:host=127.0.0.1;port=3306;dbname=2ndshoe", "root", "", [])
C:\xampp\htdocs\2ndshoeapp\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Database\Connectors\Connector.php:68

Please use the argument -v to see more details."

I tried to look up the drivers (;extension=php_pdo.dll and ;extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll) on my php.ini but couldn't find them. I uninstalled xampp and reinstalled again and the extension still isn't there.

I was wondering if its not the extension's problem but something else?
Really appreciate if anyone could help me with this!!

It worked for the following development environment:
macOS 10.14.3, Laravel 5, XAMPP 7.1.27

– find config.inc.php. For my macOS, e.g. I need to 'cd Applications\xampp\phpMyAdmin'
– copy master username and password from the file and paste it into .env and error should be resolved.
