I am unable to reproduce this with your steps; installing PHP with the
mysql extension works correctly for me.
My only guess is that somehow another version of the libmysql.dll file
was being used somehow by PHP. This will be corrected in 5.3+ since
mysqli will no longer depend on that dll.
Also, I recommend that you keep the suggested install, and only enable
the items you need.

Copy php.ini from the new installation to C:\WINDOWS and overwrite the
php.ini present there.

OK. I found a blank WIndows XP box. Installed Apache and then PHP (your
installer). This time I could not get PHP to work. I tried everything.
Even the Apache syntax was ok. So I got the PHP.ini file from another
machine where the WAMP worked and overwrote the new install's php.ini
file. Restarted PHP and PHP worked. I have not had time to set up MySQL.
But there is definitely something wrong with the installer for the
latest PHP build. Also, I noted that all the exentions were once again
uncommented in the php.ini file. No one should/would have all those
extensions turned on, at least for security reasons. Also, the problem
with the MySQL was because you said you no longer supported it and it
had to be uncommented out. So why does the installer install it
pre-uncommented? There is something whack about that build.

Thanks, SWilliams, for the comment. I did do that. I checked the path
and rechecked it . . . actually I double and triple checked everything.
My students also did so many installs/uninstalls/checks that on the
evaluation they suggested it be installed for the next class before the
class begins (which I will do and just distribute a hand out on how to
set up their own environments at home or work). I will in the next few
weeks install this on a brand new machine that has never had anything
installed on it, including but not limited to PHP, MySQL, and Apache,
and see what results I get.

Make sure that you have set your path environment variable to include
your php and php extensions directory. I ran into the same problem, and
after I adjusted my path variable, I restarted my computer and
everything worked fine. Hope this helps.

I searched for all old mysql .dll files as the documentation said and
for all .ini files. I deleted any old ones. I restarted--the computer
and the server. I did this sooooo many times. I was as thorough with
this as possible. Also, during the class that I taught, this was the
first install as this was the first PHP class. It wasn't just me and my
laptop. I also used a work laptop. It was all the students in that
class. Even students who did this at home with your installer, after the
class was over, couldn't get it to work. So this is not an old ini
issue. The ini that was used was the one that your installer set up. And
as I said the ini that your installer installed on the systems had
everything uncommented. If MySQL, for instance, is not supported why was
everything, including the MySQL extension uncommented upon a base
install? First install? Anyway, I already thought of this and verified
the ini used was the one that I was edited.
I will find yet another clean laptop and install the WAMP stack on it
with this installer and see if there is still an issue.
