#40118 [NEW]: libmysql.dll needed under win32 for correct work of mysqli

From: r dot ejem at seznam dot cz Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: libmysql.dll needed under win32 for correct work of mysqli Description: ------------ I found this problem in PHP5: On some WIN32 machines, mysqli appears to not be installed. User must do two steps which I haven't found in documentation: First step, of course, user must add "extension=php_mysqli" to php.ini. The second step is not so obvious: on some systems PHP has problem with finding libmysql.dll. In this case, it is good solution to copy libmysql.dll to %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32. I think it may be useful to add this to mysqli module documentation. Reproduce code: --------------- -- no code needed -- Actual result: -------------- PHP fails with "undefined class mysqli" or call to undefined function mysqli_*" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40118&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40118&r=mysqlcfg
