Thanks.

I had already tried copying the php_mysql.dll to the Windows folder as
suggested by EmC but it didn't help. I tried it again just now (to
both \Windows and to \Windows\System32) but it made no difference.
In any case, I have the PHP folder in the Windows Path environment
variable.

I removed the @ sign and it now displays this message:
Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\Path\PageName

Further suggestions?

Thanks.
