Hi, thanks for the suggestions.
Sadly neither seem to work. I tried adding the extension into php.ini first, but that failed.
Leaving the php.ini in its newly amended state, I then amended index.php as suggested, but again no luck.
The **Extensions** section of my php.ini looks like this:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Dynamic Extensions ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;
; If you wish to have an extension loaded automatically, use the following
; syntax:
;
; extension=modulename.extension
;
; For example, on Windows:
;
; extension=msql.dll
;
; ... or under UNIX:
;
; extension=msql.so
;
; Note that it should be the name of the module only; no directory information
; needs to go here. Specify the location of the extension with the
; extension_dir directive above.
; Extensions
;extension=apc.so
extension=imap.so
extension=yaz.so
extension=pgsql.so
extension=pdo_pgsql.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so
extension=json.so
; Loading PDO
extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_sqlite.so
extension=sqlite.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so

ps. another oddity is when I log in I get a server "page not found" message. If I click the browser back button, I get my main page and I am logged in! But basically there seems to be a fualt in where login is sending me.
