[RESOLVED] PHP and MySQL are being anti-social.

[Slyke]

I have installed Apache, MySQL services on a windows box I have at home, and configured Apache and PHP to talk to each other.

Basically I can run PHP scripts, and I can also enter commands into the SQL console.

The part I'm having problems with is getting PHP to talk to the MySQL server.

I've edited the php.ini file to:

extension_dir = "B:/WAMP/apps/php/php_5.2.9-2/ext/" 

extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll 

When I run phpinfo() it doesn't look like MySQL is being loaded. PHPMyAdmin also errors when I try to run it:


Documntation says:


I'm not sure what else I can do to get it working. Any suggestions?

Edit:
For some reason the phpinfo() is saying:

Directive    Local Value    Master Value
extension_dir    C:/php5    C:/php5 

That directory doesn't exist, never has . Why it's not going to the one I set it to I have no idea.

Edit2:
Upon further investigation, I've found that PHP is erroring:

[01-Nov-2009 01:34:07] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'B:/WAMP/apps/php/php_5.2.9-2/ext/php_pdo_mysql.dll' - The specified module could not be found.

in Unknown on line 0

[01-Nov-2009 01:34:07] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'B:/WAMP/apps/php/php_5.2.9-2/ext/php_pdo_mysql.dll' - The specified module could not be found.

in Unknown on line 0

I can confirm that this file does exist in this place. Some other modules are loading, but others are coming up with the same error. For example, the curl extension works fine.

Edit3:
I can rename 'php_curl.dll' to say 'bob.dll' and PHP will load it correctly. If I rename the 'php_pdo_mysql.dll' file to 'bob.dll', it says it can't find the file.

I'm really confused as to what's happening here. I know the DLLs are fine as I've tried them in another WAMP server... I'm thinking there's some config I haven't set yet... any help ?
