How to configure PHP support for MySQL on Windows?

Hi,


How does one configure PHP support for MySQL on Windows?

My host operating system is Windows Server 2003.
1. I have installed Apache 2.2 via the msi installer
(apache_2.2.4-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi).
2. I have installed MySQL 5.1 via the windows installer
(mysql-5.1.20-bet-win32.zip).
3. I have installed PHP 5 via the msi installer
(php-5.2.3-win32-installer.msi)
4. I have enabled the php_mysql.dll extension inside of php.ini
5. I have ensured that libmysql.dll in on the system path.

I have done all of this correctly, but I still cannot open
a database from php script! What am I doing wrong? Can any one
please advise?


Please help a PHP/MySQL newbie.

Faithfully,
Sean B. Durkin

There is a windows version - its a simple install - just provide a password
and the package installs and configs - I'm running it on Server 2003 and Win
XP - no problems.

I did have a problem with a Vista install. Unsuccessful.
