Did you read Fine Manual?
While I always encourage people to read the newsgroups (via googlegroups
searching, old deja news) for similar questions, I think the best place to
start is the official installation manual, as can be found on the PHP
website:
http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php
If you read that, you'll see:
____________________________________
Windows Installer
The Windows PHP installer is available from the downloads page at
/downloads.php. This installs the CGI version of PHP and for IIS, PWS, and
Xitami, it configures the web server as well. The installer does not
include any extra external PHP extensions (php_*.dll) as you'll only find
those in the Windows Zip Package and PECL downloads.
Note: While the Windows installer is an easy way to make PHP work, it is
restricted in many aspects as, for example, the automatic setup of
extensions is not supported. Use of the installer isn't the preferred
method for installing PHP.
____________________________________
The note says that you should not use it if you are planning on extending
the install, as you just did by adding mysql.
Solution:
1) Uninstall it,
2) read the installationmanual at
www.php.net
3) Install by hand.
