PHP not connecting to MySQL?

Hello,

I installed Apache 2.0.55, PHP 5.1.1, and MySQL 5.0.17 (in that
order, on Windows XP). I have managed to get Apache and PHP working
right, and MySQL by itself seems ok too. However, when I try to do any
MySQL command within PHP, it just does nothing. No success, no error.
I tried uncommenting the line "extension=php_ mysql.dll", but when I
restart Apache it tells me "PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
php_mysql.dll - The specified module could not be found.". No matter
where I copy the file so that it can find it. No matter what I put in
"extension_dir" .
What's wrong? Many thanks in advance.

Diego

Hi, your need put any .dll files in windows system folder, the best
method your make this.

Put the C:\PHP in "Environmen t Variables", to you todo this follow this
steps:

WindowsXP:Start > (Right Click) My Computer > Advanced > Environment
Variables > System Variables > Path.

Add ";" and the path to PHP, example: C:\PHP.

Restart the windows an try start apache.

If error appear again, try download a zip package of PHP distribution.

After a lot of thought and research, and playing with FreeTDS and InlineTDS, as well as various ODBC connections, I have determined that the fastest and cheapest way to get up and going with PHP on Linux, connecting to MS SQL Server, unless it was already pre-installed by your Linux installation, is to build your own multithreaded TCP socket server on Windows and connect to it through the socket API in PHP on Linux (if you have installed...

We currently have our mySQL server on the same box as the Apache server. For security and load balancing, we're going to be moving the mySQL server to another box.

Aside from changing "localhost" to the IP/port number of the new server, what else should be done, especially in the...

I am trying to design a program that will use data from a MySQL database. Currently all the data is being used with PHP scripts from a website. I am also trying to build a software solution that can use the same data. I have gone through all the data connectors in Visual Basic.net and none of them have the options for connecting to MySQL. Does anybody know how I would go about doing this? Thanks in advance! Jeremy

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
