Hello everyone:

Recently, I decided to upgrade to PHP 5.2.0. I have C:\php5 in the
Windows XP PATH, so upgrading is quite painless; just unzip new
release, and restart Apache! Usually it goes off without a hitch, but I
noticed that phpMyAdmin was not able to utilize the MySQLi library
(which was working with my last 5.1.x release). As I was looking
through php_info(), I noticed that MySQLi didn't even load. However,
when I restarted Apache after installing and setting up php.ini, there
was NO error displayed, nor logged. Actually, I do get an error in the
actual PHP code during runtime, which informs me that the mysqli class
doesn't exist. Neither does the procedural forms of MySQLi.

Some information: I run Apache 2.0.54 on Windows XP Pro. Last night, I
upgraded to MySQL 5.0.27, in an attempt to see if it would improve the
situation (previously, I ran on 4.1.x).

php.net doesn't seem to make any special note about installing for
5.2.0 (with the exception of Apache 2.2.x), so I'm not even sure how to
go about troubleshooting, since I don't even have an error to go by.

Other modules that load are: CURL, mbstring, mcrypt, mysql (standard
mysql), and xsl. php_mysqli.dll was packed with my install, and is
located in the same directory as the above modules which load.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be very
grateful.

Thanks,
Curtis
