I've followed the below guide to setup my local host

http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/tutorials/how-to-setup-local-web-server-with-latest-apache-php-and-mysql-packages/

I'd like to use PHP 5.3.10 to use the same version as my live site, although when I use the newer version and navigate to localhost/pma I get the following error:

The mysqli extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration. <a href="Documentation.html#faqmysql" target="documentation"><img src="themes/dot.gif" title="Documentation" alt="Documentation" class="icon ic_b_help" /></a>

Anyone know what else needs to be done to properly configure mySQLi?

Open you php.ini file and make sure the extension=mysqli.so (or extension=mysqli.dll on windows) isn't commented out.

Also make sure that you have the mysqli.so or mysqli.dll files inside the extensions folder of your php installation.

Look at your firewall settings and create inbound/outbound rules for MySQL.exe

As I recall, it's because the mySQL service is not installed or running properly
