Hi,
I have been trying to get a php, mySQL install to work and talk
together on Windows XP SP2 with IIS. So far I installed and received a
responce from php(V5 - manual install) though the

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

command which prints out the current settings of the php install.

I then installed mySQL complete setup (V5) and ran the server instance
config wizard. The, through the command line, set up a databse tables
that i required. In windows services mySQL is running however when
trying to use phpmyadmin i get the error "Cannot load mysql extension".

I have enabled the php_mysql.dll in the php.ini file and also, as
suggested in other posts, copied the libmysql.dll and php_mysql.dll to
both the system and system32 folders.

is this an issue with IIS and php 5 and mySQL 5 and should i uninstall
php 5 and use version 4 instead?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mark
