I can't load mysql.dll

[freesoftwarrior]

Hi:
This is my first post here. Sorry my grammar.
I install php5 under Windows and IIS. I found this article

http://www.wikihow.com/Install-PHP-5...ws-Xp-and-2003

All is ok. I test it using phpinfo() in a single php file.
Then I copy all the files of phpMyAdmin and when I try to run, I recibe a error. This error tell me that theres something wrong in my php.ini. The problem is php_mysql.dll.

But I have the dll also in windows/system32 and php/ext.
However, when I run phpinfo(), mysql is not listed.

Would you be good enough to help me?

Sorry my grammar.
Regards from LIma, Perú

Never, ever, EVER copy any file from the PHP directory (e.g. c:\php) or any of its subdirectories to a location outside of the PHP directory - it's unnecessary, deprecated, and only causes headaches later.

What you first need to do is verify that the extensions_dir is configured correctly in your php.ini file.

Next, did you add the main PHP directory (e.g. c:\php) to your system's PATH environment variable? If not, you must do this - instructions are avaiable in the stickied guide in this forum.
