I’ve tried everything the faqs say and I’m still unable to get mysql
support in PHP5..
I’ve added H:\php to my Windows PATH variable (H: is my main drive)
Not something I've ever had to do but OK
I’ve uncommented php_mysql.dll
In which copy of php.ini?
The default on should be in your windows directory
I’ve added the extension directory to php.ini
And that is showing in phpinfo? Which would tell you if you have the
right copy of php.ini ;)
Rebooted the server
Before doing the above, phpinfo’s output had absolutely no instances of
the phrase mysql in it, showing it neither disable or enabled. After
doing the above, phpinfo does show the mysql directory added to some
environment paths, but still no table showing whether it’s enabled or
disabled.
Am I missing something? One faq says not to use mysql.dll but
mysqli.dll ?? where is this? Can anyone shed some light on this subject
for me?
Have you actually installed mysql in windows? It is not part of PHP and
was dropped as a default from PHP5 because many of us do NOT use or
install it.
You will have to check with MySQL where you get a windows installer and
sort out which version of MySQL you need :) MySQL4 needs the 'i' version
of the PHP interface.
When I run a mysql test script php returns an error in the line with
mysql_connect saying it doesn’t understand the function. (which tells
me mysql support isn’t working)
If php_mysql.dll can't run it should give an error when starting PHP. I
get one for other packages where the actual application they are
connecting to is not installed!
