hi i have same problem
apache2 and php5
phpinfo test page shows info
installed mysql and created web user
created mysql connection test page
uncommented extension lines
restarted apache
mysql test failed (undefined function)
so....I:
moved php.ini to c:\windows
restarted apache
mysqltest page worked, but phpinfo page was blank
so...I :
copied php.ini back to c:\php (making 2 copies)
restarted apache
same result mysql page connects, phpinfo page is blank
so....I :
deleted the c:\windows\php.ini
restarted apache
mysql page failed, phpinfo page worked
