Window에서 php-5.1.2 + mysql-5.0.19

Hi,
I am using MySQL 5.0 and PHP 5.1.2 in WindowsXP Professional. I had this problem and solved it. The following steps I did.

1. Downloaded the php-5.1.2-installer.exe from http://www.php.net/downloads.php.

2. Downloaded the ‘PHP 5.1.2 zip package’ binaries from http://www.php.net/downloads.php.

3. First run the php-5.1.2-installer.exe by selecting the C:\PHP folder.[The install.txt file advices to select a target folder name without spaces in it].

4. Now unzip and copy the contents of ‘PHP 5.1.2 zip package’ to this C:\PHP folder overwriting all.

5. Change the following values in C:\Windows\php.ini file.
1. extension_dir = “C:\php\ext”
2. extension=php_mysql.dll

6. Now create a sample php file with the following content;

Execute this and check the ‘php.ini’ folder and ‘extension_dir’ values are correct as we set. Also check the value of ‘extension’ variable.
If php.ini file is not correct add a PHPRC system variable with the value C:\windows. This will tell windows from where to load the php.ini file.

Hope this will solve the problem.
