PDO on windows

[Jeff]

Much to my surprise PDO does not come with php 5.2.6 on windows.

I can't seem to find out much about how to install PDO and the mysql
driver for IIS and windows. I haven't given up googling, but...

Any resources on this? I have a client that I'll need to talk through
this. Hard to do when you are clueless yourself!

Using PHP 5.2.4 for Windows here for development, it includes the PDO
classes. Enabling them was just a matter of ucommenting the
appropriate lines in the php.ini file (and I think I had to uncomment
some other stuff related to database drivers too, but it's been a
while since I did it do I don't remember).

Thanks. Do you have to restart the server afterwards?

Yes, any changes to php.ini will require a server restart. At least on
Apache they do, I would imagine the same is true of IIS.
