I have been pulling my hair out and all over the web trying to solve this.
Running XP SP2, PHP5 & MySQL 5.
I've read the post: getting PHP 5 to work with MySQL @
http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=10246585
and about a million others grrrrr
Now I have no issues running any php scripts, nor any trouble running mysql stuff from the command line. The issue is the two of them - you know living in peace and harmony lol.
The thread that's on this board seems a little outdated as the new folders are /ext/ for extensions/dlls and the reccomended way to communicate is now php_mysqli.
I have php in my windows path. I have php.ini configured by uncomment out mysqli. I verified by running phpinfo and get this:
mysqli
MysqlI Support enabled
Client API version 4.1.3-beta
MYSQLI_SOCKET /tmp/mysql.sock
Directive Local Value Master Value
mysqli.default_host no value no value
mysqli.default_port 3306 3306
mysqli.default_pw no value no value
mysqli.default_socket no value no value
mysqli.default_user no value no value
mysqli.max_links Unlimited Unlimited
mysqli.reconnect Off Off
If I try the dl() route I get a warning from php that the module is already loaded.
So why on earth do I still get this error message - I can't be the only one! [at least I hope not lol]
Thanks for any help in advance because this is really irritating and frustrating to say the least!
Let me know if I've left any pertinent info out that needs to be known for resolution, perhaps once this is solved the sticky note on this can be updated to current.
