[PHP 5 MySQL 5 Apache2 win32]Hi everybody, I'm really stuck

[universalbitmapper]

Am I the only one on this planet to try:

PHP 5
MySQL 5
Apache 2

On Windows XP no firewall

With Symantec Norton Internet

I got apache 2 and PHP 5 to work fine.

Previously, using a package called Wamp 5 ( PHP5, Apache 1.3., MySQL 4)
, I managed to read a table in a PHP page.

No I got an error message at the first MYSQL function:

$database = mysql_connect( $server, $user, $password )

PHP complains that he doesn't know this function.

I have these lines in the php.ini file:
extension_dir = "c:\php\ext "
and both
extension=php_m ysqli.dll
extension=php_m ysql.dll
just in case he wants to pick one.

Also I copied this dll in c:\windows\syst em32
libmysql.dll

So I'm really at a loss, and frustrated, I feel like I done my homework
and got an F--.

I really do need MySQL 5 for the triggers and I don't feel like
configuring Apache 1.3 for security now and having to do it again later
for Apache 2 from scratch.

I'm ready to everything, even reading some wikipedia faq if I have to.

PPPlease help!!

Hi, I tried it too, in the end I found that PHP5 no longer supports
MySQL as a built-in component like it used to. The reason for this is
that MySQL gone fully commercial since version 4, PHP doesn't ship with
the driver any longer. The MySQL dll's packed with PHP now only
supports MySQL 3.

It's been such a long time ago that I may have gotten some facts or
info wrong here.

Hi, 200602221028

After a late nite of research I got a message indicating that there is
a new version of WAMP that supports both PHP 5 and MySQL 5.
I just installed it and tried /localhost/ and got the wamp welcome
page. PhPMyAdmin is also included, which spares a lot of make hassle.
Now I'll try MySQL 5.
I'll keep you posted.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

I got the database.php script running first try, MySQL5, PHP 5, Apache
2.
Kudos for the WAMP project.
The world is my fried oyster.

Many thanks for your replies
