For some reason, MYSQL will not work with PHP unless i place the php.ini file in c:\Windows. I've checked the path and everything else works in c:\php (dll's and such.) I can't seem to figure out why...
just replace existing libmysql.dll file with the one in Mysql Install Directory..
This probably means that the php.ini file isn't being parsed.
What webserver (name and version) are you using, and how are you implementing PHP (ISAPI module or CGI binary)?
Set the path in the apache configuration file with forward slashes c:/php, backwards slahses don't work.
