[PHP] PHP5 with MySQL on windows
I can't seem to figure out how to get PHP5 working with MySQL support. I just downloaded the latest PHP5 from snaps (which seems to be yesterday's build) and it's installed fine, but I can't seem to get MySQL support. The php.ini file still says ;Note that MySQL and ODBC support is now built in, so no dll is needed for it. However, MySQL support is no longer there. There doesn't seem to by any dll for mysql in the extensions subdirectory. There's a libmySQL.dll in dlls, but copying that into my system directory and adding an extension line for it in the php.ini file doesn't work. I get an error that says invalid library. Besides, it obviously has a different name that the other extension dlls. I am using Windows 2000. I am running MySQL 3.23.54. I can find nothing about this on the PHP web site. Everything I find still says that MySQL support is built-in. Can someone tell me what I need to do to use MySQL.

Re: [PHP] PHP5 with MySQL on windows
Hello Janet- Currently you have two choices: a) Compile PHP 5 on Windows yourself, with MySQL support b) Wait for a DLL to exist There isn't a DLL right now, nor do I know when one will exist. But, you can be pretty sure that one will eventually exist, especially before PHP 5 is officially released. PHP 5 beta 1 was released today, there isn't a MySQL DLL in there either. In PHP 4, MySQL is of course built in. That all changed in PHP 5 where it's no longer built in to the Windows binaries, nor is it bundled or enabled by default in *nix.
