Thank you. I will try to remember that everything you say is very likely to
be useful and accurate.
As far as I can remember, all that I had to do to enable the mysql extension
is to uncomment the line for the extension in php.ini and add php to my
path. However I had problem initially and it was caused by the (Windows)
registry entry that also specifies the path (to php.ini?), so for new
installations that registry entry might be important too.
