I have copied the path below
(Start->My Computer->Properties->Environment Variables->
select Path->click Edit->copy from there & paste here):

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;
C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel;C:\MassLynx\;
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin;C:\PHP


Also, the environment variable 'PHPRC' is set to "C:\PHP" and the user
environment variable has 'PATH' with value 'C:\PHP'


Why would PHP want to link with libmysql.dll? Is it an API for processes
wanting to interact with the MySQL daemon/server?
