C - you seem very knowledgeable and i would really appreciate your input on
this.

I tried phpmyadmin and this came back with: Cannot load mysql extensions.

I have already uncommented

extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll

in my php.ini file

I have already also added c:\php to the path in windows to load the relevent
files first.

Any ideas why the extensions are still not loading or how to ascertain if
this is definately the problem.

thanks
