Re: Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration

[Liang Zhao]

The php-mysql-connector from mysql offical site is compiled with microsoft visual c.net.So it need msvcr71.dll (the c runtime lib) to run correctly.But mysql offical did not distribute the msvcr71.dll with this connector(The reason i think is either some other applications installed the dll or they forget the relationships to the dll, but this have metioned in the microsoft development documents).I have metioned this problem sevral times but no one pay attention to it.Some new installed system(like Windows XP) did not have this dll.
If you did not meet this problem, that because you have installed this dll in your system.so many people think this is a configuration problem.
To resolve this problem is easy. Copy msvcr71.dll into your PATH varible then restart the computer.
Note: Be sure you have no problem in your php and web server configurations.
Good Luck!
