apache - php 5 mysql connectivity problems

hi

earlier i used to use php 4.3 with apache 2.0 (Mysql 4.1) server on my WinME box. yesterday my friend provided me php 5 and i wanted to experiment with it.

I installed php 5 (just extracted the zip file to a folder) and modified httpd.conf file to work with php 5.

Now php 5 is working fine with apache(<?php phpinfo(); ?> works fine)
. but none of the scripts using mysql are connecting. I did not change anything with mysql.

is there any additional configuration reqd for php 5 with apache 2(on windows) to correctly connect to mysql?

nb.

 

hello sir if you are having such problems, just use the shortcut use apache2triad.
apache2triad.net/
it has all you need trust me.

 

thanks. but i'm on dialup and i can't even think of downloading a 100 mb file.

 

I think you are having a similar problem to this

Ah. actually all the compiled binaries were already there..

here is what was missing in php.ini file..

by default extension directory was set to ./ only.

everything is fine now.

thanks friends and have a great day.
