If by uncommenting the extention line in php.ini you mean extension=php_mysql.dll Then it was uncommented. I have also copied the php_mysql.dll & libmysql.dll files to the system32 directory. It still does not work. I have the following in my path too c:\program files\php;c:\program files\mysql;c:\program files\apache group\apache2;c:\;c:\program files\php\extentions So it should find the files under c:\program files\php\extentions and work from there in the first place. But it does not. :( -----Original Message----- From: Janet Valade [mailto:jvalade@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, October 24, 2004 12:10 PM To: Gün Göksu Subject: Re: phpmyadmin connection problem with php & mysql Gün Göksu wrote: > Well.. no.
