Re: help on connection

Good call, Peter. In fact, on my Windows Apache server, I had to put

SetEnv PHPRC c:/php/

in the httpd.conf file before it would read php.ini even though it's in C:\php.

BTW, the mysqli extension needs libmysql.dll. There was a separate libmysqli.dll in early PHP 5.0.x versions, but now (at least PHP 5.0.3 and higher, not sure when they made the change, it could have been earlier than 5.0.3) you can run both mysql and mysqli using a single libmysql.dll. I only just noticed this myself a few days ago.
