PHP 5.1.6 installed Could not find a suitable database driver!
For MySQL, compile PHP using --with-mysql, or install the mysql.so module
For PostgreSQL, compile PHP using --with-pgsql, or install the pgsql.so module

    it appears that even though uncommented it's not loadin the mysql extensions and it pulls other extensions fine...

      Add another newby with the identical problem.

      <bump> for anyone with any ideas.

        I have been pulling hair out for 3 days trying to figure this out... 🙁

          Ah, I see. Still, you might want to try the 5.2 snapshot.

            cool thnx for the advice

              I changed the extension_dir parameter in php.ini to point to c:\php\ext

              I renamed the libmysql.dll that came with PHP and copied the libmySQL.dll that came with Mysql to C:\php and C:\php\ext (haven't cleaned up yet to see which one matters)

              I rebooted the system and it works.
