Re: PHP5 with MySQL on windows

Hello Janet- Currently you have two choices: a) Compile PHP 5 on Windows yourself, with MySQL support b) Wait for a DLL to exist There isn't a DLL right now, nor do I know when one will exist. But, you can be pretty sure that one will eventually exist, especially before PHP 5 is officially released. PHP 5 beta 1 was released today, there isn't a MySQL DLL in there either. In PHP 4, MySQL is of course built in. That all changed in PHP 5 where it's no longer built in to the Windows binaries, nor is it bundled or enabled by default in *nix.
