Extensions and MySQL.dll on WinXP PHP5

[webguynow]

I'm hoping someone will give me the latest info here about PHP policy
to enable extensions. [Preferably not -
"Move them around under C:\Windows until it works ..." ]

I've installed PHP5 in C:\PHP

Meaningful excerpts: from php.ini
; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "./"
.....
;extension=php_msql.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll

TIA for your advice on this.

So change it to your PHP extensions directory:

extension_dir = "c:/php/ext"
....
;extension=php_msql.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll

This in turn requires the MySQL client library. This is bundled with PHP in
the top-level PHP directory, so modify your PATH environment variable to
include c:\php.

Do not copy anything into Windows directories.
