PDO Exceptions could not find driver

PDO Exceptions could not find driver

here is my function 

class Database extends PDO {

public function __construct() {
    try{
    parent::__construct(DB_TYPE . ':host=' . DB_HOST . ';dbname=' . $DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASS);
    } catch (Exception $e){
        echo '<pre>';
        echo 'Message:' .$e->getMessage().'<br>';
        echo 'Message:' .$e->getTraceAsString().'<br>';
        print_r(get_loaded_extensions());
        echo '</pre>';
    }

}

I am using laragon FOR LARAVEL and was facing same problem but i figured it out...And My php version is 7.2 For the older versions uncomment the php_pdo_mysql & mysql.dll (make sure u are using pgsql/pgmysqllite or any other and uncomment them and for non used ones you have to use';'

CHECK THE PATH IN ENVVIRONMENT VARIABLES. and version >7

undo all the extensions in php.ini except for THE

extension=pdo_mysql

Because the latest versions are encoded without the 'php_pdo_mysql & other .dll' files & are already i compiled i guess. ESPECIALLYY FOR THE {{PDO_****}} disable them & enable above code..and ';'

With doing that u can change your utf8mbg to utf8 respecitvely to both charset and collation:

inside app\config\database.php set the default to 'mysql'.

------>>app\config\database.php & set the default to 'mysql'

'mysql' => [ **** others are same just change the following]

'charset' => 'utf8',
    'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
