phpmyadmin error.

[dlaminigp]

i''ve dowloaded and installed the latest version of the XAMPP package. when i try acess to phpmyadmin page it gives an error which reads,

"cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration".

This is the response i get when i go to the documentation page.

"To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of MySQL functions called "MySQL extension". This extension may be part of the PHP distribution (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or php_mysql.dll. phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed."

Open your php.ini file (will be somewhere in your xampp directory). Then look for the line 'mysql.so or php_mysql.dll' if either has ';' or '#' in front of them, remove it. Restart xampp and it should work.

By the way, this isn't a PHP problem.

i have tried this, went to the php.ini file. these extensions have nothing at the end of the line. they actualy have ; at the beginning of the line.

so this has not worked.

you say this is not a php problem, what is it then, a mySQL then.
