MySQL is driving me nuts!

Whatever I have, its not loading MySQL by default like it should. It
keeps saying

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\php\ext\php_mysql.dll'
- The specified module could not be found.

This is because I enabled the extension in the php.ini. It doesn't load
mysql if I dont do that. I changed the directory to look for it there,
and it is there, but for some reason php doesnt see it.... why?

How exactly did you change the path?

In the php.ini the its the line extension_dir. Mine is set at

extension_dir "C:\php\ext\"

I've made it lowercase and uppercase, I've switched around the /'s, and
before this started I jsut copied the php_mysql.dll to the php folder
which this line was originally set at, and I got nothing. I think
satins at work with my computer =(

I think you need to change your OS path variable. Which version of windows
are you using?

Alternately, you can try copying the file into the Windows or WINNT
directory...

Windows XP

Try this to change the path setting - it may help:
