Hello,
I want to start off by pointing out that I am completely new to this area, so I would probably need a bit more detail than someone who is familiar with this stuff.

My problem is, I can not get PHP to work with MySQL, it complains about "class not found".

I am using php 5.2.2, apache 2.0.59 and MySQL 5.0.37 ("mysql-essential-5.0.37-win32" package). I am running windows XP sp2. I do not have phpmyadmin (don't think its a requiment, is it?) I have this application called "Navicat" which makes things easy for someone just starting off with this stuff.

I followed some instructions telling me to uncomment
Code:

extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll


But it still does not work.

Any help is very appreciated, thanks.

Some known issues:
Did you set phpinidir in httpd.conf? So that your apache uses the right ini file?
Sometimes it is needed to copy blibmysql.dll from mysql\bin to apache\bin folder

Yeah, have done that and it did not work either. Must just be some small little detail the guides i followed don't mention or something. I ended up using "Xampp" even though i did not want to, and that worked perfectly after a few clicks of the mouse. I really don't want to have Xampp as a permanent solution though, but for now it will do.

It might help to edit your php.ini file and set the PHP extension directory.
For example (with PHP 5.2.2 in C:\PHP522) :
Code:
; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "C:/PHP522/ext"
