Cemetery Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Still not working properly. I have: In the php.ini-recommended file changed extension_dir = "C:\php\ext" uncommented extension=php_mysql.dll, extension=php_mysql.dll I also deleted all instances of libmysql.dll except the one in c:\PHP and then copy and pasted the one from the php folder and placed it into C:\Windows\System32 And i'm still getting the same errors. I've also been searching the web about this issue and i found alot of cases with this issue. Has there been any more updates for this problem?

Chicken Little Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 You say the changes were made in the php.ini-recommended file. Did you make a copy of this file and name it php.ini?

wildteen88 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Do you mean that is what is shown when view your php folder in Windows Explorer? If so you have not correctly renamed the php.ini. Open the php.ini-recommended into notepad. Then go to File > Save As.. and type the following into the file name box: "C:\php\php.ini" (including the quotes). After click save. A php.ini file should be created in your PHP installation folder. Use this new file to configure PHP. I would recommend you to change a system setting which stop Windows from removing the file-extensions from file names. To do so open any Folder and go to Tools > Folder Options > View. Now Scroll down the list of Settings and uncheck the setting labelled "Hide extensions from known file types". Click Ok. Windows should now show files extensions along side filenames, eg filename.ext rather than just filename Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/126017-cannot-figure-out-problem/#findComment-654003 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 the php.ini This is why you have to rename the php.ini-recommended to just php.ini Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/126017-cannot-figure-out-problem/#findComment-654052 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Little Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 No. Both php.ini and php.ini-recommended will reside in the same place. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/126017-cannot-figure-out-problem/#findComment-655047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
