#43393 [Com]: MySQL Extensions selected during install aren't properly referenced in php.ini

ID: 43393 Comment by: rt at interlogic dot com dot ua Reported By: kleinjames at yahoo dot com Status: Assigned Bug Type: MySQL related Operating System: Windows 2003 PHP Version: 5.2.5 Assigned To: jmertic New Comment: I had the same problem when install php_5.2.5 from zip package on WinXP with apache2. I have to say, that I have installed php with apache and MySQL a couple of times before and it wasn't new for me, but... This time php doesn't work with any extention. Only one thing let my installation to work. I have added path to my php installation folder to system variable 'Path'. This process is covered in manual http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.addtopath Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-12-04 03:36:27] kleinjames at yahoo dot com Sent a video showing installing php, running phpinfo() and showing the outcome of php.exe -m. Should help show what either I am doing wrong or the installer is doing wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-12-03 12:42:45] jmertic@php.net Try a newer installer snapshot; that one would have predated the fix I put in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-11-29 06:11:22] kleinjames at yahoo dot com I used the following msi file downloaded from the location mentioned above: php5.2-win32-installer-200711272130.msi Still has the bad dll reference. In theory, the short notation should work, but for some reason doesn't. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-11-28 15:35:47] jmertic@php.net In fixing the other bug you mention, I did an install on WinXP and Win 2003 with mysql and mysqli and both showed up in phpinfo(). Can you verify them being listed in the php.ini file and in the ext directory in the installation directory? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-11-27 20:32:44] kleinjames at yahoo dot com In the mean time, I have a piece of advise for you: Relook at bug # 43394. Before calling the bug bogus and making yourself look bad by saying "I've tested this personally on WinXP", try reproducing the problem on windows 2003. I ran 5.2.5 on a dozen windows 2003 servers with different hardware, different configurations. ALL suffer the same problem described in that bug. If you read the full bug form, Windows 2003 is listed as the OS, not windows xp. If something works in windows xp, doesn't mean that same program works in windows 2003. You are right though, the problem doesn't occur in windows xp, but I never did report the bug as a windows xp bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
