Why don't you use the PHP Manual?
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.manual.php
You mentioned that you put the php.ini somewhere in C:\Windows or the like. As
http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php#configuration.file explains this is the very last place where PHP looks for the config file. If you have morephp.ini files in any of the directories that are searched before the Windows directory gets searched, PHP will load the other php.ini file and never consider your file.
So, the very first question is: which php.ini file is used by PHP. How do you find out? Write a small script and invoke it through your webserver.
<?php phpinfo() ?>
Search for the php.ini - which one does PHP read? If you do strange things, don't forget to check for
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.php-ini-scanned-files.php . Once you have found the php.ini re-check the extension_dir and extension setting.
If that also fails, try loading the MySQL extension manually using dl():
<?php
dl("c:/full/path/to/my/php_mysql.dll");
printf("MySQL client info: %s\n", mysql_get_client_info());
?>
If that works and using the correct php.ini does not work, then you know your php.ini is still not OK. In that case, fix the php.ini.
