It appears as if the "php_mysql.dll" module has problems loading the "libmysql.dll" file. Setting the PHP dir to the system path var did NOT work for me. However, these options did: a) copy the bundled libmysql.dll to the windows system32 folder. b) OR, copy the bundled libmysql.dll to apache's BIN folder. c) OR, copy the bundled libmysql.dll to apache's root folder. I'm currently using option C, but I would prefer not having to copy DLL files across my system. Has anyone found a better solution?
