Even I had same issue with PHP version 5.2.5. So, I rolled back to
older version 5.2.1 which does not have this issue. Now, I don't have
this issue with version 5.2.1

I am still experiencing this bug as of Feb-20-2008.  I am running PHP
5.2.4 in a Windows XP environment with MySQL 4.2.20.  To leave no room
for confusion, the problems and steps I am using to recreate this bug
are described in Bug #44009 (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44009).

I have tried the following PHP versions:
PHP 5.2.4
PHP 5.2.5
PHP 5.2.6-latest

I have tried patching the Windows php_mysql.dll extension using the
following sources:
PHP 5.2.1: http://www.php.net/releases/#5.2.1 [copy
/ext/php_mysql.dll
only] - this did not fix any problems
MySQL: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php/
[mysql extension
(PHP 5.2.0) for MySQL Server 4.1.21] - could not connect to MySQL
server.  Please note that the extension is for PHP 5.1.6.6
MySQL: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php/
[mysql extension
(PHP 5.2.0) for MySQL Server 5.0.27] - this did not fix any problems

- this did not fix any problems.  The extensions provided seem to be for
PHP 5.2.0.0

This bug caused me to spend an hour on the issue.  I kept ignoring all
of the help related to MySQL since the script I was trying to run,
didn't use MySQL.  

Please fix this by including the right DLL or adjust the installer to
give a warning message:  "Despite downloading this package, you will
need to download an older package, replace the mysql dll, in order to
use PHP."

I'm a newbie at this, and am installing php for the first time. Very
basic setup, running WinXP, using IIS 5.1 and PHP 5.2.5, installed using
the Windows installer. 

When I first installed I included support for MySQL in the options, but
had not installed MySQL. The error happened with a psp script consisting
only of pspinfo(). I went back to the installer and removed support for
MySQL and the problem went away.

I don't think the folks at MySQL can be blamed for this one.

I have to agree about the impression this makes on potential LAMP
adopters.  I am a long-time Windows/MSSQL person looking at the LAMP
stack as an alternative to MS.  However, I download PHP 5.2.5 and start
reading the manual only to get the error "Error in
my_thread_global_end()" the first time I used the CLI.  So, I go
searching and find all kinds of references to dll swaps for PHP side AND
the MySQL side.  I don't even have MySQL installed yet...  I was looking
at PHP's ability to be a standalone scripting tool as well as a
web-database tool.

Anyway, I then find this thread where it appears the bug has been
around since approximately May 2007 and PHP version 5.2.3.  I commented
out "extension=php_mysql.dll" in the php.ini to stop the error, but I
think I will want this extension once I install MySQL.

My hat's off to the people that started and have contributed to the PHP
codebase.  Please understand that I am not trying to bash anyone.  I
simply want to reiterate the PHP is crucial component to the LAMP stack
and having to search for a bug fix on the very first run discourages
potential new adopters.  I'm very impressed with what I know about PHP
thus far and would hate to think a potential  adopter could be
discouraged at square one in their evaluation.
