Looks like mysql support is not enabled in your configuration. Make sure you have the DLL file in its appropriate location; and post your php.ini file would help others with troubleshooting your problem.

Please try the following code:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL); // Shows all errors generated
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","user","pwd");
if (!$con)
{
    echo mysql_error(); // Show the error if it is an error in mysql
}
$db = mysql_select_db("db_name",$con);
if (!$db)
{
    echo mysql_error(); // Show the error if it is an error in mysql
}
?>

Please post back what errors you get.

No need to try code - it's obvious that the MySQL extension isn't installed.

This tells us you're probably using PHP5, in which case there are much better extensions to use (such as [man]PDO[/man] or even [man]MySQLi[/man]).

You should never copy PHP-related files (.ini, .dll, ANYTHING) outside of the main PHP directory (e.g. c:\php). This is a very bad practise and has been deprecated for some time now.
