Php extension on windows xp

I installed php on my xp but was unable to add the extension to mysql

This is what I did in php.ini:

[PHP_MYSQL]
extension=php_mysql.dll

and there is such a file in ext/

but when i look in phpinfo()

, only to find that the mysql extension is still not added.

What have I done wrong?

In your php.ini file, do the following:

extension=ext/php_mysql.dll


This must exist in the config section [PHP]

, not [PHP_MYSQL]

.

Are you using Apache? If so, check the php.ini in apache \ bin as it might be an ini file.

As Evgeny Savichev noted, the name of the file being processed is displayed in phpinfo in the "Loaded configuration file" section

Make sure you have mysql servers dlls installed and somewhere on% PATH%. Alternatively, you can use a tool like depwalker to load the php_mysql.dll file and see what's missing from the dynamic link.

To avoid configuration issues, I would install XAMPP ( http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html ), which installs php, apache and mysql and configures the whole thing as a production server installation.
