Re: PHP not supporting MySQL

I think you are right in saying: "there's no need to change the registry
if you have your php.ini file in the right place". By moving the
"php.ini" to "c:\windows", the "fatal error" message was eliminated.

In addition, I copied "libmysql.dll" to "c:\windows", it appears to work
fine so far.

I knew some would get around to saying they copied files into C:
\WINDOWS.

There is no reason to place ANYTHING in C:\windows.

No reason to modify the registry (I don't consider ENV VARS registry,
yes I know, that's where it lives, but...)

I have complete docs that explain how to set up Apache and PHP without
doing on of this "windows-centric" stuff.

In fact, I had to replace my OS drive last week. Took my 2 hours to
reinstall XP Pro and the drivers and the like.

It took my 10 minutes to "reinstall" Apache, mySQL, Perl, PHP and
SSH2, along with 90% of linux command line tools.

See if that method helps you.
