Hello,
I want to start off by pointing out that I am completely new to this area, so I would probably need a bit more detail than someone who is familiar with this stuff.
My problem is, I can not get PHP to work with MySQL, it complains about "class not found".
I am using php 5.2.2, apache 2.0.59 and MySQL 5.0.37 ("mysql-essential-5.0.37-win32" package). I am running windows XP sp2. I do not have phpmyadmin (don't think its a requiment, is it?) I have this application called "Navicat" which makes things easy for someone just starting off with this stuff.
I followed some instructions telling me to uncomment
| Code: |
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
|
But it still does not work.
Any help is very appreciated, thanks. |

Some known issues:
Did you set phpinidir in httpd.conf? So that your apache uses the right ini file?
Sometimes it is needed to copy blibmysql.dll from mysql\bin to apache\bin folder |

Yeah, have done that and it did not work either. Must just be some small little detail the guides i followed don't mention or something. I ended up using "Xampp" even though i did not want to, and that worked perfectly after a few clicks of the mouse. I really don't want to have Xampp as a permanent solution though, but for now it will do. |

It might help to edit your php.ini file and set the PHP extension directory.
For example (with PHP 5.2.2 in C:\PHP522) : | Code: | ; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "C:/PHP522/ext"
