note 96712 added to install.windows.extensions

I had a quick scan through the comments here before posting, as I've had a lot of trouble getting the mysql extension to work with PHP. There are a lot of people who say that adding c:\PHP\ext\ (and variations of) to the path is the answer. There are also a lot of people who find that this doesn't work and end up putting their php.ini and libmysql.dll into the windows and or system32 directories. I found an old school solution to this problem: Move the entries for c:\php\;c:\php\ext\;c:\mysql\bin\; to the very start of the PATH variable. In the dark old days of DOS before Windows I remember often having to reorganise items in the PATH to get stuff working! Now it all works like a charm. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 194.106.220.83 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.extensions.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/96712 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96712/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96712/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96712/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96712/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96712/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96712/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96712 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/96712 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
