it would really help if you could post exactly what the error you are getting is.

can you access mysql through console?

I don't think you need to move the dll's, but you do need to uncomment them in you php.ini file.  I have a similiar setup and when I had a hard time getting both mysql.dll and mysqli.dll to function properly together so I use the mysqli exclusively now.

Sounds like a PHP/mysqli library config issue, but we can't be sure until we see an error message.

I am also having problems with PHP accessing MySQL.

Currently I am trying to run a simple script just to test out the connection, but PHP will not execute anything.  Earlier I was getting the fatal error message saying the the mysql_connect() was an unidentified function(now I just get a blank browser screen). 

I had (and still have) my php.ini file extension_dir="c:\php\ext" AND extension=php_mysql.dll (with no semicolon ';' in front). When I run my phpinfo() script, it says no information about mysql.  Also, when I take the semicolon away from other extensions, the phpinfo shows the requisite info for that extension.  WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!?!??!

In my test script, I put echo statements before and after the mysql_connect() function and the browser doesn't show either of these echos.

Can someone please give a little help.....

P.S.  I am using apache and everything else that I do with PHP works fine, I don't know if that is relevant....
