Hi

I am currently trying to install php5 and mysql5 on iis win xp. both installations appear to be successful but they will not comunicate. Ive read in several places that to enable communication between php and mysql i need to change my php.ini file to this:

extension_dir = "crogram files\PHP\ext\"

extension=php_mysql.dll (uncomment line)

The trouble is that in my PHP installation dir there is no folder called ext, only dev\. I have searched my c: and d: for php_mysql.dll and that is nowhere to be seen either.

I have read alot of posts about this and nothing seems to touch on the fact that i do not have a ext folder within my php folder.

What am i to do?

silly question. you have to specify which php extensions to run when you insatall it.

You can change the extensions to be runned from the php.ini file.

Extensions lie in %installation_directory%\PHP\ext\ path.
