php5/mysql mess until libmysql.dll copied to C:\WINDOWS

Got apache up and running and tried setting up php5 with mysql. php worked as I was able to read a generated phpinfo.php, but it would not communicate with mysql. phpinfo did not display mysql info as it does for other modules, and phpmyadmin and wordpress installs relayed similar mysql error messages. Yes extensions were uncommented in php.ini and extension_dir was set properly.
Finally, I was able to get it working by copying the libmysql.dll in the php folder to C:\WINDOWS.
I guess the reason for posting is now I'd like to know why C:\WINDOWS is involved? Surely this is unsafe/unrecommended? (BTW php is installed and reads php.ini in the C:\php\)
Fairly new to this so thanks for helping out.
