mysql xp problem?

[tonyw]

hi,

just put apache, php and mysql onto an xp machine. All seemed ok, so, installed phpMyAdmin and booted it up - only to see -

cannot load MySQL extension,
please check PHP Configuration.

the docs say -

[1.20] I receive the error "cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration".
To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of MySQL functions called "MySQL extension". This extension may be part of the PHP distribution (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or php_mysql.dll. phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed.

never had this problem before! Any ideas?

thanks!

problem solved - delete php5 and go back to 4 🙂

Can you post exactly what versions Apache, PHP and MySQL you're using. I'm having problems with XP and I'm wondering if it's the versions I'm using.
