Connecting php5 and mysql5

[pchan]

Currently, I have Apache and PHP 5 up and running in Windows XP. I have installed MySQL 5 and am having trouble getting to two to connect. I have uncommented the following from php.ini:
[INDENT]extension=php_mysql.dll
[INDENT]extension=php_mysqli.dll

I have copied the libmysql.dll to the windows\system32 directory. I have tried deleting it in the c:\php directory. Is there anything that I have not done? I would appreciate some help in this matter.

Yes: put libmysql.dll back into the c:\php\ directory and make sure it is NOT left in the system32 directory.

Next, I'm a bit confused; are you saying that the two extension= directives you mentioned above on the same line in your php.ini config file? If so, they certainly should not be - all of the extension= configurations (as well as all others in php.ini) should be on their own line.

Finally, make sure you add c:\php\ to your system's PATH environment variable as per the installation instructions in the PHP.net manual (see: [man]install.windows.manual[/man]). Once you've done that, you'll have to restart your system. Once it's restarted, do a phpinfo() and see if the mysql and/or mysqli tables appear.

is it okay that libmysql.dll is in php directory and windows\system32 no problem about that....edit your PATH in windows....PATH=C:\Program Files\PHP\; append this on your Environment Variables...
