If you have PHP working, then create the following file and save it as
info.php in the docroot of your website.
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
When you load this, you'll see a list of settings being reported. The
important one in this instance is the value for the loaded
configuration file near the top of the page.
That's the INI file you are needing to edit.
Open it in your favourite text editor and look for the lines starting with ...
extension=
You need to choose which mysql driver you need - there are several.
mysql
myslqi
pdo_mysql
If you are using a modern mysql, then mysqli is the one to use. So,
add a line to the INI file that looks like ...
extension=php_mysqli.dll
It may already exist with a ; in front of it. Remove the ;
Save the ini.
Restart Apache.
You MAY need to reboot Windows.
Now load up the phpinfo() page again.
Do you see mysqli content?
If you do, then at that stage, the mysqli extension is loaded and you
can start using it : http://uk.php.net/manual/en/book.mysqli.php
