Hi. I have recently downloaded and installed Apache 2.2.3 and PHP 5.2.0 on my Windows computer. I installed them and got Apache and PHP working almost perfectly. I tested PHP workingness with simple echo-script, which worked just fine. Then i started to learn MySQL, now the problem comes in picture. My PHP doesn't recognize my MySQL commands, such as mysql_connect() gives back an error, which says that function is not defined.

I have:
- changed ;extension=php_mysql.dll to same without ";" (in php.ini)
- replaced my libmysql.dll with one in MySQL directory (c:\progfiles\mysql...)

but still it won't work damn it Sad Any idea how i could get this fixed?

Is your php.ini in C:\Windows ? If not, set in httpd.conf where your php.ini you use is located

e.g.
Code:

PHPIniDir "C:/php5"

Please download the mysql test from apachelounge and run it. So that you can see if mysql extension is right installed and mysql server is running.

php MySQL extension not loaded !!...

so what did i make wrong?

I installed MySQL with windows installer, then i opened php.ini and found line extension=php_mysql.dll and removed ";" before it. then i found line expression_dir (or something) and changed it to "c:\php5\ext\" where my extension files are located. after that, i have copied libmysql.dll from my MySQL folder to c:\php5. i have also copied php.ini and libmysql.dll to c:\windows.. so... could you please tell my how i'm being stupid..

Code:
extension_dir = "c:\php5\ext\"
...
extension=php_mysql.dll
