Answers.Text: CiviCRM's wiki actually shows PHP5.4 as "recommended" currently, but I think that's just an out of date doc as 5.4 is [no longer a supported version of PHP](http://php.net/supported-versions.php). I'll update the wiki to mention PHP7.

  Recommend **setting MAMP to use PHP5.6** if you have that option.
  
  The screenshots show MAMP is set to use PHP7, but [CiviCRM isn't ready for PHP7 yet](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-17789).
  
  (PHP7 [removes `ext/mysql`](https://wiki.php.net/rfc/remove_deprecated_functionality_in_php7) in favour of `ext/mysqli` and `ext/pdo_mysql`. CiviCRM looks for `ext/mysql`, and the installer test is bailing out when it detects that this isn't supported.)

  For anyone else having this problem, XAMPP 5.5.33 is shipping with the mysql\_connect extension disabled by default. You need to go to php.ini file and uncomment the line
  
  ;;extension=php\_mysql.dll

  Try changing the DSN in civicrm.settings.php from mysql to mysqli in the following line:
  define( 'CIVICRM\_UF\_DSN', 'mysql**i**://cms\_db\_username:cms\_db\_password@db\_server/cms\_database?new\_link=true');
