Have been running PHP 5.1.1 successfully for quite some time as CGI in IIS
5.1 on my Windows XP Pro SP2 laptop, with MySQL Server 5.0.18 and the
mysqli extension. I wanted to see if I could get away from some CGI
timeouts I've been experiencing by moving from GCI to ISAPI on PHP. So I
removed the mapping for the CGI .exe and added in the mapping for the
php5isapi.dll, which in C:\PHP. The php_mysqli.dll file is in C:\PHP\ext.
I made sure extension_dir = "C:\PHP\ext" was set in php.ini, and that the
uncommented line extension=php_mysqli.dll was present there as well.
Following the directions of some other discussions I read elsewhere, I also
moved the libmysql.dll file from C:\PHP to C:\WINDOWS\system32. I stopped
and restarted IIS. Now, the error I get on the first line of PHP in my app
that tries to create a new mysqli object is:

Fatal error: Class 'mysqli' not found in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\vsx\includes
\sessions.php on line 34

What am I missing here! I'm tearing my hair out now. Someone please tell
me what setting I have to change to get MySQLi to work in PHP 5.1.x as an
ISAPI.
