Re: [php-list] Having a problem with coding from a book

[Nick Jones]

You need to enable the Mysql extension in your php.ini file. First, make sure the c:\php\ext\php_mysql.dll file exists. If it doesn't go to php.net/downloads and download the Windows binary zip file. It's in there.

Next, open up your php.ini file (probably at c:\windows\php.ini or c:\php\php.ini) and find this line:

;extension=php_mysql.dll                         [note the semicolon at the beginning of the line]

which will be about halfway down through the (default) file. Delete the semicolon at the beginning of the line. Finally, save and close this file, and restart the web server. After that, your MySQL scripts should start working, or at least connecting, and your phpinfo() page should display a new section detailing your MySQL configuration.

Good luck and post back with any other problems.
