Hi Jan,

Should work...
Check for a few possible mistakes, like:
1) Are you edditing the right php.ini?
Call phpinfo() to see what php thinks the right php.ini is.
(Sounds stupid, but you wouldn't be the first or the last who
2) call phpinfo(), and check if PHP agrees that you loaded the module.
It SHOULD be named somewhere.
3) Is the ddl readable for the IUSR_<machinena me> ?

If that doesn't help, come back here.

Good luck.

Regards,
Erwin

Hi Erwin,

Thanks for your reply!

I was editing the right php.ini. I believe the problem was that I used
php_mbstring.dl l from php 5 and not 4.4.2.

I also copied libmysql.dll to c:\winnt\ from php-4.4.2-Win32.zip.

Now it works!

Jan Nordgreen
