I've had dozens of android phones, and I've never seen this message!
When I click the recommended link, it brings me to an explanation page, that doesn't explain anything!
A separate search brings a long list of the same info over and over, yet STILL doesn't explain anything!!
Everything references WordPress, but as far as I know, I don't have WordPress, nor do I want it!
This makes absolutely zero sense to me! I've battled electronic hacking/cloning of all my electronics for almost 4 years now! If it isn't one thing, it's another!
Can someone please shed some light on this issue, in good old fashioned, plain English? What do I do?
Your site ROCKS by the way!!
Thanks!

PHP is a programming language and it is widely used for developing web pages. To use a database, it uses whats called an extension or plugin which added functionality to connect and use databases, in the case it uses a database system called MySQL which commonly used on Linux/Unix systems. iMysqL is the name of this extension on on recent versions of PHP A easy to use framework called Wordpress, which is used to create wordsites including blogs, and this uses PHP and mysqli extension. If there is an error about this then the error is with the web site such as unable to find or load an extension or access a database for some reason.

Thanks Peter, at least that makes a little sense. The error message says that MY installation of PHP seems to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress. Please check that the MySQL extension is installed and enabled.
Then it says if I'm unsure what this means to contact my host or follow a link to a WordPress forum for help.
It happens when I try to visit a wiki site. It's telling me as if this were MY website!
So, then there isn't actually wrong with my phone, the issue lies within that particular site? There isn't any tweak I need to do to my phone to be able to view that site, they need to fix it at their end then?
Either way, I appreciate the info and the lesson! You're a superhero man! Thanks again! Asta la bye bye!!!
