Ok, here's what I did: 1)uninstalled WAMP 2)completely removed previous versions of apache, php, and mysql from my pc - deleting the folders 3)reinstalled WAMP
Now, when I go to phpinfo(), I have a section for mysql.
Everything is working fine, I just have to use
mysql_connect('localhost',$username,$password);
instead of
mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
for my database connections.
Thanks guys for all your help.
