After trying to get the MySQL PDO driver installed on my Windows machine and searching quite a bit of info, it was a combination of 3 things - First, I had to uncomment the extension_dir line in php.ini to read: extension_dir = "ext" - Second, I had to uncomment the pdo mysql extension line in php.ini to read: extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll - Last I had to add my PHP install folder (C:\WebServices\PHP in my case) to the PATH Environment variable in Windows. After doing those things I rebooted the machine, but restarting apache may have been enough. Worked after that. Hope that helps someone down the line. This was tested on both Vista and Win7x64 Mike ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 139.55.192.246 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/pdo.installation.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/110025 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110025/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110025/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110025/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110025/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110025/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110025/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110025 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/110025 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
