I'm an idiot. PHP5 does not have MySQL enabled by default so the ;extension=php_mysql.dll in the php.ini file needs to be uncommented. Duh! :o

Thanks, everyone, for the assistance.

Here's how i solve the prob :

php.ini
extension_dir = "c:\php"

copy php_mysql.dll from c:\php\ext to c:\php
copy libmysql.dll and php_mysql.dll from c:\php to %Systemroot%\system and %Systemroot%\system32

Restart Apache2

Few of thoses steps are facultative but that's what i did.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the replies. I'm really not sure why this 'still' isn't working. I have the dll files in the php\ext, php\, system\, AND system32\ folders. I have an environmental path to c:\php. It doesn't matter if I change the extension_dir to c:\php or leave it c:\php\ext. This is all I get with the latest version of phpMyAdmin.

cannot load mysql extension,
please check PHP Configuration
Documentation

I'd also like to mention that this was working 100% with php4. Any other suggestions 'cause, frankly, I'm a bit stumped on this??

Killer_Typo, can you please share your findings in more detail 'cause I'm having the same problem. Thanks!
