Cannot load mysql extension, had try everything, help please.

[Omar Gonzalez]

Hi I'm having similar problems, the extension for mysql or mysqli is not showing at all on my phpinfo() output, I have tried everything already, this is my setup:

Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2, Apache/2.2.4 (Win32), PHP/5.2.3, MySQL 5.1.11

php.ini setup as follow:

extension_dir = "c:\php5\ext"
extension = php_mysqli.dll

Tried the extension_dir with forward slashes as well, the dll does exist in that directory and I added c:\php5 to my environment "path" variable to find libmysql.dll and restarted my machine, I had already make sure that the both the http and the mysql server are running, but no luck.

Am I missing anything?

Thanks in advance,

Omar
