PHP5 not loading mysql.dll and mysqli.dll

I've been trying to install mysql. I installed that new PHP5 that just came out with the zip file. I configured in php.ini where the .dll files are: c:/php/ext/. Then I uncommented php_mysql.dll and php_mysqli.dll.

When I restarted apache 1.3.31, my server, it said that it could not find those files in c:/php/ext/.

EX) PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/php/ext/php_mysql.dll' - the specified module could not be found.

Though the file is right there. So then I did research and found that those files needed libmysql.dll and libmysqli.dll to load. However, those files are already sitting nice and cozy in c:/php, and I copied them to c:/php/ext just in case.

What's the problem?

Just ran through this _exact_ issue myself. Put the libmysql.dll files
in the windows/system32/ directory. That fixed everything for me.

RE: PHP5 not loading mysql.dll and mysqli.dll

may be you have not uncommented
extension_dir="c:/php/ext/"
(Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside)

please check.

I've been trying to install mysql. I installed that new PHP5 that just came
out with the zip file. I configured in php.ini where the .dll files are:
c:/php/ext/. Then I uncommented php_mysql.dll and php_mysqli.dll.

When I restarted apache 1.3.31, my server, it said that it could not find
those files in c:/php/ext/.

EX) PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/php/ext/php_mysql.dll' -
the specified module could not be found.

Though the file is right there. So then I did research and found that those
files needed libmysql.dll and libmysqli.dll to load. However, those files
are already sitting nice and cozy in c:/php, and I copied them to c:/php/ext
just in case.

What's the problem?

If you have had a previous version of PHP, make sure that you copy the
libmysql.dll that came with the PHP5 zip and overwrite the existing file
.. I am too embarassed to admit how long it took me to figure this out :)
