I am actually ridicously stumped by this. I have downloaded php, MySQL and apache. Apache and php are working together, and it is wonderful. However whatever I do I cannot get php to work with MySQL. I'm using Windows 7 and PHP version 5.2.17 and Apache 2.2
I have gone into php.ini and uncommented out the lines extension=php_mysql.dll
, extension=php_mysqli.dll
and set the extention in Windows to this extension=msql.dll
. I even changed the session path in php.ini to see if it would change anything. Spoiler Alert it didn't. I keep checking phpinfo() but the only information about MySQL and SQL that shows up is sql.safe_mode: off.
I cannot find any answers anywhere, well I have but all it tells me to do is uninstall and reinstall everything. Which I am trying to avoid at all costs. But if that is my only option, can you give suggestions about using WAMP and whether its easier than installing everything individually? Because I did not use WAMP and it took me forever to get this far.
