I have noted a basilar question is without answer (or better at least for Windows), since I'm in the need of help, I hope the answer anyone could give me could of help also to others, thanks. Here's my problem : Ok, I have Windows XP Pro, Apache 2.0.32 and all runs smooth. I then installed PHP 4.1.1, latest version and MySQL 4.0.1 latest version too. PHP works good but when opening a php page with the php code line "info" I'm told that PHP is using a 3.x.x client version of MySQL. This is so since MySQL is now by default installed in PHP, comes within it and always enabled. But, having downloaded the latest version I would like to use it instead of the boundled one. I have browsed PHP and MySQL sites in search for help and just found a little reference about it in PHP manual. Unfortunately the manual at that point states that you can use a line of code "--withmysql=/path/to/mysql" but this line is to be used compiling the Unix version of PHP not the binary of Windows. So, since I believe a so basilar question should be already ironed out, I'm in search of help. I expect a simple code line in php.ini, a not by default present line, to point PHP to the right directory and therefore to the latest updated MySQL Version. I hope I have explained myself, thanks for any help you may give, powergen
