i need he~~lp!! PHP 5's MySql went mad with Apache 2...

Post by antimacism »

hey guys...I just installed PHP 5 on WinXP for Apache2....I did the hard way (not by using the installshield but by downloading the binaries and do the configs and stuff)... I decided to use the php5apache2.dll thing, and everything went ok. PHP worked perfectly, the only thing is that it was unable to load the php_mysql.dll . I already uncommented the line in php.ini that says extension=php_mysql.dll, but it couldn't load it. When i restarted apache, it says:

"PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic lybrary 'somepath\PHP\ext\php_mysql.dll' - The specified module could not be found."

Then i triple checked that directory, but php_mysql.dll was there...I unzipped directly from PHP.net's PHP 5 zip file...

The other extensions such as GD2 loaded properly and are in the same directory as php_mysql.dll, but for some reason the Mysql module couldn't load...

has any of you experienced this problem? can any of you help me..thanks

by the way, it is the stable version of PHP 5...I downloaded it today at August 23, 2004...

place the 'libmysql.dll' file from the root of your PHP5 install into the 'system32' directory.
