Bastien Cat, the other other white meat -- On my Windows I see the same thing - "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" points to C:\WINDOWS (even though there is no php.ini there) and "Loaded Configuration File" points to the dir where the php.ini actuall is. My setup (PHP 5.2.6) works fine. Presume you did restart apache after making the change? It looks like your php is using your php.ini since phpinfo reports (none) when you rename it. Is there anything in your phpinfo output that relates to your php.ini? Maybe some error near the beginning of php.ini causes php to stop loading the ini file? Check that the "extension_dir" in phpinfo agrees with the "extension_dir" in your php.ini. Maybe try enabling error logging in the php.ini and check the log file - I use apache\logs\phperror.log and invalid extension loading is definitely reported there (I've had this problem before). In php.ini set "log_errors=On" and set "error_log=c:\apache\logs\phperror.log" (or wherever your apache is installed). Restart apache and check the phperror.log file. If you find nothing then create a dummy entry to force an error, something like "extension=php_dummy.dll" to check that the error logging is working. If your logging is working and there is no error reported for loading the mysql extension, and you still see no entry for mysql in phpinfo output, then you have a different problem, maybe a mysql installation problem.
