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

Hi,

I met this issue with apache_2.2.8&php-5.2.5-win32-installer.msi and solved it as below:

1.Open php.ini and change the two items:
a .Modify extension_dir = "./" to extension_dir = "c:/PHP/ext" or extension_dir = "c:\PHP\ext"; And make sure php_mysql.dll is under c:/PHP/ext. You can get php_mysql.dll and other files from php-5.2.5-Win32.zip.
b. Uncomma ;extension=php_msql.dll and modify it to extension=php_mysql.dll;
3. Copy libmysql.dll to C:\WINDOWS.
4. Restart the Apache server.

Also you should make sure the php.ini is saved at right place. You can use phpinfo() first to check the Configuration File (php.ini) Path. In my machine, the Configuration File (php.ini) Path is C:\WINDOWS so i copied the php.ini to C:\WINDOWS.
