Although I've been programming for over 30 years I am new to web
development.
As an introduction I've been using a book "PHP and MYSQL Web
Development" by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson.
I've set up an Apache Server v1.3.31.
I've also installed MySQL V5.0.13 and PHP v 5.0.5.
I've gone through the installations several times. I'm reasonably
confident about the Apache Server but I have a problem with the
interaction of the PHP and MYSql.
I'm trying to connect to a MySQL database using PHP. I'm using the new
mysqli_connect structure. I've also tried the straight procedural
version mysqli_connect function.
When I run the code I get a "Call to undefined function mysqli_connect".
I've set up my PHP.ini file to point to the correct php ext file and
I've included references to the php_mysqli.dll but I still get the error
message.
In addition if I stop and then restart the Apache server - which is
linked into PHP - I get an error message saying that PHP can't find the
module php_mysqli.dll.
I'm sure I have defined my extension_dir correctly as
extension_dir = "C:/PHP/ext/"
I know the dll is in this directory but it is not getting picked up. As
this is currently a total block can anyone help please!
Thanks
Malcolm
