Ok, this didn't work for me. I replaced the "libmySQL.dll" in my php installation with the one in my mySQL Server installation. Still getting the same : "cannot load mysql extension, please check PHP Configuration" I can't figure for the life of me why mySQL extension won't work with PHP just because I'm running Vista. Never had this problem ever before. Anyone?!? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rahul Sitaram Johari CEO, Twenty Four Seventy Nine Inc.
