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?

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?

[Cemetery]

Well that is in my folder is this a file

 

Php

INI-Recommended

 

Then

 

PHP.ini

INI-Recommended

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

Nope still not working. Quick question am i suppose to edit the php.ini or the php.ini.INI-recommended?

[wildteen88]

the php.ini

 

This is why you have to rename the php.ini-recommended to just php.ini

[Cemetery]

ok that is what i thought but it is still not working

[wildteen88]

Are you restarting Apache after making any changes to the php.ini?

[Cemetery]

yes

[Cemetery]

by this

 

php.ini-recommended now copy this to the Windows folder and rename it to just php.ini.

 

 

do u mean cop it to windows/system 32?

[Chicken Little]

No. Both php.ini and php.ini-recommended will reside in the same place.
