Re: PHP-MySQL connector installation problem on Windows

[Rory M Larson <rlarson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jerome,

Yes, the mysql command line comes up fine on both
machines, so we should be able to work with that.

Also, on the XP which has C:\Program Files\PHP\php.ini
as the Loaded Configuration File according to phpinfo, the C:\Program Files\PHP\
directory is listed in the PATH variable.

Thanks,
Rory

Hi Rory, 

Yes actually the php.ini file should always be taken from the windows directory,
but i think you can also put it in a place that is in the PATH variable.
I use windows2K here and the ini file is in the WINNT folder.

Copuld you tell us if your mysql is worker with the command line client
?

Thanks for the suggestion.  I've tried adding the backslash, restarting
Apache, and reloading phpinfo on both machines.  It doesn't seem to
make a difference.

One more thing I've noticed is that there are two data items listed in
phpinfo referring to php.ini.  First there is the Configuration File
(php.ini) Path, and then there is the Loaded Configuration File.  I
thought the php.ini file was supposed to be taken from the PHP root directory,
which is C:\Program Files\PHP\ on my machines.  But the Configuration
File (php.ini) Path on both machines is listed as C:\Windows.  In
fact, there is a php.ini file there as well as in the PHP root directory.
 I've been updating that one too, though it still doesn't seem to
make a difference.  On the Vista machine, the Loaded Configuration
File is C:\Windows\php.ini, but on the XP it is C:\Program Files\PHP\php.ini.
 This is another mystery to me.

Thanks,
Rory
