Things to check:
1. In php.ini:
- extension=mysql.dll and/or extension=mysqli.dll are uncommented
- extension_dir is set to the path to the ext directory (e.g. C:\php\ext)
2. In apache2/bin:
- libmysql.dll has been copied here from the mysql directory
3. You can connect to mysql from the command prompt: (e.g. mysql -uxxx
-pxxx)
