note 52972 added to faq.databases

I had also the problem to activate the mysql-extension to php 5.x on Windows Server 2003 and Apache. After a lot of internet readings (this site too), and a tons of tries, I found a very simple way. Set the extension-dir - directive in the php.ini to "./ext/" and it will work. In the ext directory of the php distribution you will find all (I guess) extensions for php. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.databases.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52972 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52972&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52972&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52972&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52972&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52972&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52972&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
