If so I assume you have installed a version of PHP 5, because PHP 4 on Windows comes with MySQL support enabled as default. For PHP 5 you need to check the php.ini file, the php_mysql.dll extension is _not_ present in the extensions list as standard and needs adding. If phpMyAdmin can use it (which I suspect it can) you could also check to ensure the php_mysqli.dll extension line is un-commented. Save your new ini file, restart Apache and see what happens. If you're on a flavour of Unix, wait for someone else to reply to your message ;) Best regards, Richard Davey -- http://www.launchcode.co.uk - PHP Development Services "I do not fear computers.
