PHP & mySQL Win 2003 Install

OK, I can compile and install without issue on linx/unix. However,
trying to bring up a WAMP server is causing me fits.

I can get PHP 5.05 installed and running. I can get mySQL 4.0.14
installed and running directly.

BUT, PHP won't recognize mySQL so I can't call it from PHP. I've
googled and googled to no avail.

Any help much appreciated!

run a phpinfo and check if the mysql support has been complied correctly.

--with-mysqli' '--with-mysql=/usr'

check the mysql options also.

Also check if mysql is active and working correctly by running it from
DOS. In windows, u have to check 'services' to see if mysql is installed
as a service and starts at startup

Thanks.

On Windows, it's not compiled so don't have the with-mysql=/usr' option.

mySQL is running fine - it's accessible via sql tools.

just not via PHP.

I know, sounds like a stupid one, but:

have you edit your php.ini and searched for the mysql module?
is it deactivated out or not?

u need to compile with mysql modules so as to enable u you to integrate
it with mysql.

download an already compiled version of php for windows, and install it
in your system by simply unzipping it and check if it works....
