I run PHP 4.3.7 on Win2k so what I have may differ a bit.
Here's a comment from my php.ini --
;Windows Extensions
;Note that MySQL and ODBC support is now built in, so no dll is needed for
it.
.... so it doesn't sound like you're on the right trail.
Let's step back.
Can you run a basic "Hello World" PHP page without error?
Can you log in MySQL from a command line? Is the MySql server running?
mysql_connect() requires hostname, username and password parameters. Do
those work from the command-line?
Also, php.ini should be in the same dir as the php.exe or edits to it aren't
picked up. That seems obvious but it caught me up early on.. .
