Hi there, I'm new to all this so I've been following instructions from various sites and books. So far I have installed Apache, PHP and mysql, however when I browse to localhost/test.php (created to view phpinfo() through the browser) i can't see mysql or mysqli only the mysqlnd. Here is an overview of software I've installed, OS and things I've added so far; OS ver Windows7 Professional 32-bit VM Apache ver 2.2.25-win32 PHP ver - 5.4.31 Win32 VC9 Mysql - 5.6.19 Ammended httpd.conf to include; LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php PHPIniDir "C:/php" Ammended php.ini file to include; extension=php_mysql.dll extension=php_mysqli.dll extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll added following to system variable PATH; c:\php C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\lib (- this was for libmysql.lib) Renamed my-default.ini to my.ini within C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\ phpinfo() shows Configuration File (php.ini) Path as C:\Windows & Loaded configuration file as C:\php\php.ini Changed the "/" in LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll" & PHPIniDir "C:/php" to "\" but this did not make any difference. After every change I either stop/start both Apache2.2 & Mysql5.6 services or reboot the VM, but phpinf0() still only shows mysqlnd but not mysql or mysqli. I'm at a loss now as researching it only seems to bring up links repeating everything I have already tried. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks
