unable to load dynamic library C:\php\ext\php_mysql.dll - procedurenot found

If you get the above error when trying to install/run PHP5 using Apache
and Windows XP, I just thought i would let you know my experience. It
took me many hours to figure this out, but it was not a problem with the
php_mysql.dll file at all.

It turns out I had an incompatible libmysql.dll file in my
C:\windows\system32 folder. So, to make it work, i had to copy the
libmysql.dll file given in the PHP distribution into C:\windows\system32.

Well, just wanted to let you know my experience, hopefully this can help
some one.

Better would be to remove the DLL from the Windows system directory, and
instead set PATH to include the path to the DLL.

Dumping DLLs into the Windows system directory tends to lead to this sort of
problem - better to keep the DLLs in user directories rather than dumping them
into the operating system directories.

I changed my path. Unfortunately, it kept picking up the libmysql.dll
from C:\mysql\bin, even though C:\php is first in my path.

Whatismore mySQL won't run if you don't copy this file 'libmysql.dll'
bundled with PHP5 into your system32 directory. I understood this
because I had *no* 'libmysql.dll' on this path.
