note 46990 deleted from install.windows.extensions by nlopess

Note Submitter: juliank at quidne dot com ---- [found this on the web and it worked like a charm] If you get the above error when trying to install/run PHP5 using Apache and Windows XP, I just thought i would let you know my experience. It took me many hours to figure this out, but it was not a problem with the php_mysql.dll file at all. It turns out I had an incompatible libmysql.dll file in my C:\windows\system32 folder. So, to make it work, i had to copy the libmysql.dll file given in the PHP distribution into C:\windows\system32. Well, just wanted to let you know my experience, hopefully this can help some one. -d ---- Reason: bad code
