MySQL does not show on php info

[A.Translator]

I installed Apache, php5 and MySQL 5. The usual <?php phpinfo(); ?gives
the php info, but there is no sign of MySQL, so something is wrong.
I installed the latest connectors. Can someone help me getting php and
MySQL interconnect?

Are the connectors in the binary? If not check if they are loaded in the
php.ini

Thanks for your prompt reply but sorry, I am new to all this. You mean in
the MySql bin folder? No, I understood I had to put them in the PHP and
PHP extensions folders.
I cannot find anything about them getting loaded in de php.ini either.
What should I add?

Try to add this line to your php.ini

extension = mysql.so

then restart apache and try again. This should load the MySQL-Extension.

On Windows you should have a line in php.ini such as:
extension=php_mysql.dll (or extension=php_mysqli.dll when using mysqli).
On Linux it should be something like: extension=mysql.so
Also make sure the extension_dir setting is set to the right directory.

HTH.

OK, thanks. (dank je,aan je naam te zien). The dir is pointing to the
right place, but I had enabled extension_msql.

No change now that I activated the right extension. I think the problem
has to do with the path to the php.ini. It is actually in C:\PHP\ but the
php.info shows it to be in C:\Windows. So I copied it there. The info
says: C:\WINDOWS not C:\WINDOWS\php.ini as I have seen in several
examples. Can I fix that?

Fixed it. The path to windows was messed up.

Not sure what web server you're using, but Apache "likes" the php.ini to
be in apache/bin
