Can't enable mysql in php config.

[koollove]

I've just got my apache and php to work, displaying the test page showing the php info page. However, although I have my sql program set up and running, it is not listed in the info page.

I've removed the semi-colon statements from the php config file, and to my knowledge, this should allow php to see msql. But after making the changes, saving them and restarting my apache server, I'm still not seeing the mysql in the php info screen.

Is it necessary to see this mysql information in the test page [phpinfo()] first, or can I continue setting up my system. And if the mysql information must be available before continuing, how else can I enable php to see mysql?

Thanks for your help.

in your php.ini file you must set your "extension_dir" directive to where all of your extension libraies live and add "extension = php_mysql.dll"

To quickly answer your other question... Yes, you must see it in phpinfo or else it won't work. Make sure that when you load the phpinfo page that you hit refresh on your browser so you know you're not seeing a cached version of the page (from the browser).
