Re: mysql extension won't work on vista?

[Sean Madden <seanmadden@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm running PHP 5.2.0 on Vista Business as well.  I got the MySql 
extension working my simply copying the libmysql.dll file right into 
%system32%; works fine.

Did you make sure that apache is parsing the right .ini file?
