HELP!! PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\PHP\Ext\php_mysql.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found. in Unknown on line 0

[MS]

Why do I keep getting this error mesgage on my phpinfo() page trying to
get PHP and MySQL to communicate? I am running this in IIS.

Here's what I have -

My php.ini resides in my C:\WINNT directory. In it, I have removed the
';' from the extension=php_m ysql.dll.

Also in the php.ini file I set extension_dir = c:\PHP\Ext

In c:\PHP\Ext I have the following files:

libmysqli.dll
libmySQL.dll
php5apache2.dll (Do I need this since I am using IIS)?
php5ts.dll
php_mysql.dll

Any help would be tremendously appreciated. I have spent a ton of time
on this.

Thanks.

Hi,

A few common mistakes are:

1) editting the wrong php.ini
Ask phpinfo() which php.ini it is using. Often people edit the one in
c:\php\php.ini. My advise: delete all on your system except one.

2) forget to give readpermissions for IUSR_<machinena me> to all files and
directories in use.

3) You did an out-of-the-box install from somewhere. Some suck.
eg: the windowsinstalle r distributed at www.php.net will indeed install PHP
on IIS, but you will never be able to add extension (for which they DO warn
in big letters on the side).

Could it be any of these infamous 3?

It could be 3. I know it's definitely not #1.

Which version of php do I want here to use IIS? Is there one on
php.net that is better to use? Should I use PHP4? I noticed that comes
out of the box configured to use with MySQL.
