Cant get mysql extension to appear in phpinfo.php

[Lukey]

Hi there i've been trying to sort this problem out for hours now.

 

I have read the sticky threads on enabling mysql support for php.

 

So far i have changed the extension_dir to "C:\php\ext" which is correct,

i have uncommented ( omitted the colon ) from extension=php_mysqli.dll and added extension=php_mysql.dll

to check that also.  On top of this i have copied php.ini to the windows directory and changed the PATH, also i have tried copying the libmysql.dll to the windows directory and the extension directory.  Plus i have tried copying the php_mysqli.dll to the C:/php directory, then changed the extension_dir accordingly

 

I have restarted apache each time.

 

I cant for the life of me figure out why it wont pick up the extension in phpinfo();

 

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Best advise I can give you regarding the big picture....consider using PHP with Linux/Unix in the future. It is a much more beautiful experience.

lol thanks but my major project is due on friday and i havent even started the coding yet.

 

I thought db connection would be the least of my worries.

Ok after 9 hours i fixed it.

 

I did a search for libmysql.dll renamed the one in my php folder.

Then i copied the original one from the mysql folder to apache/bin and the php folder and it solved the problem.

 

Now i start the real hard stuff.
