Okay... I've done this before but can't get it working now. I've got PHP5 working correctly, but I'm trying to load the MySQL php_mysql.dll file. I'm using Apache 1.3 on Windows XP. No matter what I use for extension_dir in php.ini, it can't seem to find the file. An error dialog will pop up saying "Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\php\ext\php_mysql.dll' - The specified module could not be found." even though that's where the #!@#$%^#@ file is! I've tried putting the .dll in c:\php and c:\windows\system32, also, but I always get the same error even though the path it shows in the error is the correct path. I've tried c:/php, c:/php/ext/, c:\php\ext, c:\php, blank, etc with and without trailing slashes... The "everyone" user has full control over the entire c:\php directory and subdirectories. Any ideas? Going back to PHP4 until I can get this sorted out... Examples from Apache error log of paths to file apache couldn't find: '\php\ext\php_mysql.dll' 'c:/php/ext\php_mysql.dll' 'c:/php/ext\php_mysql.dll' 'c:\php\ext\php_mysql.dll' 'c:/php/ext/php_mysql.dll' 'c:\php\ext\php_mysql.dll' './php_mysql.dll' 'c:/php/ext/php_mysql.dll' 'c:\php\ext\php_mysql.dll' 'c:/php/ext\php_mysql.dll' 'c:/php/ext\php_mysql.dll' '\php\ext\php_mysql.dll' 'c:/php/ext/php_mysql.dll' 'c:\windows\system32\php_mysql.dll' -- ---John Holmes...
