#37952 [Opn->Bgs]: MySQL Extension not working with php5apache2.dll

ID: 37952 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: matt at criticalcode dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: Windows XP Build 2600 PHP Version: 5CVS-2006-06-28 (snap) New Comment: http://php.net/mysql "MySQL is no longer enabled by default, so the php_mysql.dll DLL must be enabled inside of php.ini. Also, PHP needs access to the MySQL client library. A file named libmysql.dll is included in the Windows PHP distribution and in order for PHP to talk to MySQL this file needs to be available to the Windows systems PATH. See the FAQ titled "How do I add my PHP directory to the PATH on Windows" for information on how to do this. Although copying libmysql.dll to the Windows system directory also works (because the system directory is by default in the system's PATH), it's not recommended."

Use php.ini-dist, PHP as CGI (see install guide), everythign works fine. So basically, you cannot use MySQL and php5apache2.dll together. I tested all the variances of thise setup. But I'm keeping it short here. Also tested on Apache 2.0.55 - same results ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37952&edit=1
