I was having the same problem. I downloaded PHP 5.0.2 and am trying to install on WinXP with Apache 1.3.31, MySQL 4.0.14 and Jakarta/mod_jk 1.2.4. First I installed without MySQL support and verified that PHP is working. Then I tried updating php.ini with the following settings: extension_dir = "./ext/" extension=php_mysql.dll mysql.default_port = 3306 mysql.default_host = localhost
mysql.default_user = xxxxx       (actual userid changed)
mysql.default_password = yyyyy (actual password changed) Now when I start Apache I get the following failure: "the proceedure entry point mysql_drop_db could not be located in the dynamic link library LIBMYSQL.dll" which is then followed by: "PHP Startup: unable to load './ext/php_mysql.dll' - The specified proceedure could not be found" What I have discovered is that mysql has it's own libmysql.dll file. If it is in the path before your php directory Apache will pick that one up. I moved the libmysql.dll from php to System32 and Apache now starts just fine. Now my PHP 5.0.2 is working fine with MySQL!!! Glenn Puckett
