xampp not running mysql extension


Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

I'm running a laptop with VISTA and I downloaded and installed XAMPP so I can run PHP and MySQL so I can write applicatications which don't use an internet connection.

 

Installation support for Vista seems a bit iffy; I can hook up to a MySql database on my C drive using MySQL query browser, and I can run PHP programs on my C drive.  So far so good.

 

The problems start when I try and combine the two by trying to run a PHP program which hooks up to MySQL.

In addition, none of the pre-installed example programs supplied with XAMPP work properly, I get an error message saying that the MySQL extension is not installed properly.  But nowhere can I find instructions on how to get it working with Vista.

 

Please help !  It's driving me mad !

 

Many thanks
