Fellow MySql Users,

Another and perhaps better solution than moving libmysql.dll to Windows/System32 directory is to move you php directory to be 'higher' or towards the front of your path. I had c:\php at the end of the path :

path=....;c:\php;

but moved it to

path=c:php;....

Windows searches the path in order, so it finds the correct libmysql.dll, the one in c:\php, first. Moving libmysql.dll to windows/system32 solves the problem the same way, but when you upgrade to next version of PHP are you going to remember that you moved the libmysql.dll to windows/system32? I know I won't.

One word of caution. I don't know if this will effect MySql server or MySql Tools or CVSNT or other programs searching for libmysql.dll on the path, but you would have this problem no matter which solution you choose.

Thanks to everyone who posted on this message thread.
