php won't load extensions?

I want php to load the mysql extension (php_mysql.dll), I've set up the php.ini file like this:

extension_dir="C:\OpenSA\Apache2\php"
extension=php_mysql.dll

Code (markup):

I've confirmed that php_mysql.dll is indeed in C:\OpenSA\Apache2\php.
I've added C:\OpenSA\Apache2\php to "PATH". I've made sure that libmysql.dll is in the same directory. I've even copy-and-pasted libmysql.dll into system32 just for the hell of it. Yet I still get this error message when I try phpMyAdmin:

Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration.

Code (markup):

What is wrong?!

 

try c:/opensa/apache2/php/

 

That doesn't work as he clearly mentioned that the dll file is under C:\OpenSA\Apache2\php

Did you restart web service after making the change in php.ini?

 

Actually, oc-scott, some Windows systems require either:

C:\\OpenSA\\Apache2\\php

(escape backslashes) or:

C:/OpenSA/Apache2/php

Arggghhhh, it still doesn't work! I have a screenshot of all of my settings; correct me if they are wrong

If all else fails, get WAMPServer, as it'll install and configure everything for you.
