when i downloaded and installed php 5 (installer), i noticed that although simple php scripts will run just fine, when i came to use it with mysql, i noticed that the operations where failing. Eventually, i noticed that most of the files which get extracted from the zip version, does not get installed with installer version of php. Eventually, i have sorted out the problem to connect successfully to a mysql database, by amending the php.ini file and by copy/paste the php_mysql.dll and libmysql.dll. However, what's the general use of all the other files which are included in the zip version, and in which occasion i would need them to be present in the php folder ?
Thank You
