Hi,

What OS are you running on? I only know about Windows Vista. During the install there is a step to select the extras you want to install. One of these is MySQL, select this and complete the install. Then load the config file and change the section marked 'Extensions' so that MySQL is no longer commented out. (; at the start of a line denotes a comment).

If you are on Windows and you have already run the install simply go to progams and features on the control panel and double click php. This will look for the original msi file and then will give you the chance to select your desired extensions.

If you are not on Windows then I haven't a clue and I'm sorry to have wasted your time.

Ok, control panel will have something called Add/Remove Programs or similar if it's XP, and I assume it's XP Pro, if it's home edition this could take an eternity.

Under Add/Remove programs you should be able to locate PHP, assuming you've installed it already. Double click on it and follow the stpes for, I think,repair installation or customise something like that. I went to look for it myself and couldn't find it so I'm working from memory.

The alternative is to unistall and start again - this time selecting the desired extensions as you go.
