Re: PHP not supporting MySQL

I think you are right in saying: "there's no need to change the registry

"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.


That's one opinion. I happen to keep certain configuration files there.

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


Changing the environment *is* changing the registry. And environment changes are applied to every program loaded, not just the one process reading the configuration file. My environment is already > 3K long - without adding unnecessary things to it.

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


There is nothing wrong with making use of the tools at hand.

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.


Good for you. I lost my hard drive. It took me 4 days to reinstall Windows 2K, apply all of the patches and restore from backup. Next step is a better backup program.

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


Didn't even take me that long. Once the OS was restored, it was a simple matter to restore the rest of the system (about 40GB).

See if that method helps you.
