I worked it, got rid of all references in C:/windows, removed the dlls from here also, made sure they were all in c:/php, made sure the path variable was set, restarted and whalla...

Please does anyone have any ideas, I am banging my head against a wall, seems I have done all that is mentioned and still cant get php to communicate with mySQL - mys system info is PHP - 5.1.4 mySQL - 5.0 Appache 2.2.3 Windows XPSP2 I have updated my php.ini, set up the extension_dir = c:\php\ext  (yes this path exists), uncommented extension=php_myql.dll. placed the php.ini in my windows directory (just incase)as I updated my environment variable path to include c:\php, and this is confirmed when viewing my phpinfo. Copied the libmysql.dll to my windows directory, also put it in the system32 directory just to be sure. Made sure I stopped and restarted the server, heck I even shut down windows and restarted just to be sure.. Should I use another version of appache. I know this has been posted many times but have been through all of recommended changes and cant seem to fix this issue. Hope some one can help

As of now I am throwing away my templating system, that was the answer, cant believe it. Thanks soooo much. Karen

Thanks Jeff but I definately have no spaces, all I have in the file is what I posted, I have even tried putting it all on the same line just to make sure and I still get the error.

This is doing my head in, I am using php 5.1.4, Appache Server 2.2.3 on windows xp(sp2), I am just trying to get a simple session going, I have no complicated stuff, definately no spaces before my <?php declare, definately no spaces after ?> my snytax is as follows, when I run this I cannot see a value for the variable, my session directory produces a file containing "views|i:1;". <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['views'] = 1; echo "Pageviews = ". $_SESSION['views']; ?> Im pretty sure my php.ini settings are correct as I have reinstalled, followed all the tutes ----------------------- session settings --------------------------------------- session.auto_start - off session.use_trans_sid - 0 session.use_only_cookies - off session.use_cookies - on
