Need help with PHP + MySQL on W2k

Greetings. I am new to PHP and would appreciate any help I can get.

I am having a tough time figuring out what is going on with the PHP
installtion on a W2k server. I have configured PHP (by editing the
php.ini file) to load the php_mysql.dll, which seems to be loaded
properly because I can run "php -i" from the command prompt and see a
section with mysql info as follows:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mysql

MySQL Support => enabled
Active Persistent Links => 0
Active Links => 0
Client API version => 5.0.51a

Directive => Local Value => Master Value
mysql.allow_persistent => On => On
mysql.connect_timeout => 60 => 60
mysql.default_host => no value => no value
mysql.default_password => no value => no value
mysql.default_port => no value => no value
mysql.default_socket => no value => no value
mysql.default_user => no value => no value
mysql.max_links => Unlimited => Unlimited
mysql.max_persistent => Unlimited => Unlimited
mysql.trace_mode => Off => Off
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PHP also seems to be working fine with IIS because I am able to
display a .php page on the server that contains the command phpinfo().
However, if I run any mysql statement in the .php file, (e.g.,
mysql_connect), the processing seems to just stop at the mysql
statement, and ignoring everything below it. No error message is
returned. When I looked at the info generated from phpinfo() on the
web page, I noticed two things:
1. There is no MySQL section (in contrast to the command line result
above)
2. There is a ISAPI section which is not present in the command line
result.

I guess teh ISAPI thing is normal, but it is the lack of the MySQL
section that baffles me.

I have also tried usinig php_mysqli.dll instead of php_mysql.dll, and
I got similar results as above. So, the problem is that the dll is not
loaded by the web server (i.e., IIS). Any idea what is going on?
Please help.

Many thanks.

Patrick
