I have this same mysql problem as described in these forum postings. On the forum, I see the first post (Please I need some help) and the last post (Thank you so much for helping me). How do I see the other posts which presumably show the solution?

Many thanks.

I am having exactly the same problem.

Your PHP server doesn't have the MySQL module loaded or you can't use the mysql_(p)connect functions.

Please could you send me the solution


Many thanks

Installing php on Windows is usually fairly painless as there isn't much to do- just run the installer - you can get it here: www.php.net/downloads.php
The fourth one down is the Windows Binaries PHP 5.2.1 installer. There is really only one file that gets dumped in your windows directory- php.ini the rest is self contained really.

However I find my prefered way of running php/mysql/ on windows is with Apache- I use the full package you can download from
www.devside.net/server/webdeveloper
Really easy to install- read the read me info- there is even a control panel built in now so you can choose to auto or manually start the services. Only things to be aware of- you have to install it to the drive you run the installation exe on and it usually always installs to /www
I haven't done this but think you can use it to control iis assuming you have installed it too.

I guess it's been a while since this topic was discussed, but this is what I did to get it to work...

My environment: XP Pro SP2, IIS 5.1, PHP 5.2.5, MySQL 5.

I installed PHP via the msi installer, and by default it wants to install to c:\program files\PHP...CHANGE THAT!! The problem here is that the PHP binaries look for the MySQL extension in c:\php5\ext and the php.ini in c:\windows. So, I installed to c:\php5, with the MySQL extension enabled. Then, I copied php.ini and libmysql.dll to c:\windows (I also copied libmysql.dll to c:\windows\system32, just in case).

So, I have 3 copies of libmysql.dll, and 2 copies of php.ini on my machine...overkill but it works.

I running Vista and tried Jim Ong's configuration but am still getting the same message. Are there other options?

Thanks!
