You should NOT need to move the .dll at all. There is a
setting in the ini which tells PHP where to look for extensions and that
should have pointed to the original location. Hence, removing the
semicolon should be the only part necessary.

Copying the files to windows\system ... what files? Where were you
told to do this?

Normally the extension files you need for PHP are in C:\PHP5\ext (or PHPx).

I've never copied a single file into my Windows folder for PHP.

Okay. I tried using that too. If I run this:


I get the error: *Fatal error*: Call to undefined function mysql_connect()
in *C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\a.php* on
line *2

*I think there is something wrong with my configuration.

Your error message is about class not found.That means there is no class
named "MySQLi".Please use a textbook with online manual
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php
