i'm running php 5 on windows xp pro. i installed php 5 using the installer.
i copied all the zipped extensions to the php install path in a folder
called "extensions".

the php.ini file says that mysql support is built into php 5, and there is
no extension listing for php_mysql.dll...however, on the php web site, it is
stated that the support is *not* built-in for php 5+. so, i pointed the
extension_dir to ./extensions and added extension=php_mysql.dll and
extension=php_mysqli.dll in the php.ini file. i then restarted iis and tried
my php web page from my browser. i'm still getting:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dev\inc\functions.php on line 8

i assume there is no problem in loading the mysql extensions since i'd
expect to see an error to that effect.

can someone tell me how to get mysql support with php 5 on windows xp pro?

tia,

steve
