Now, How to get mysql 4.1 to work with PHP 5.0.0?

[lundberg]

Hello!

I've just installed Apache 1.3, Mysql 4.1 and PHP 5 and I was wondering how to get Mysql to work? When I try to start phpMyAdmin I get:

cannot load MySQL extension,
please check PHP Configuration.

I've tried to move around files and I've unqouted "extension=php_mysqli.dll" in my php.ini and nothing works. Whats the right way to get it to work?

Thanks in advance!

when you unquote php_mysqli.dll you have to use the new mysqli extension, the old (mysql_connect(), etc.) is php_mysql.dll

But I thouth I read that phpMyAdmin should work with mysqli!?

The MySQL extension's supposed to be built into PHP I think. Nevertheless, you could simply uncomment the php_mysql.dll line.

If Apache is unable to load the extension it will generate an error when its initializing.

So I can't juse uncomment the php_mysqli.dll line? Because I did that, and apache first showed a error but then i moved the php_mysqli.dll file and then apache started without error. But when i try to go to phpMyAdmin i get that error message.

Are your other extensions working fine? Check to see whether the extension_dir path in php.ini has been set to the right directory.

extension=php_mysqli.dll is the only one I've got unquoted. Yes the extension_dir is set to c:\php and thats there I've putted php_mysqli.dll. I don't get this...

It's not something I have to change in phpmyadmin's config files? Maybe I should just uninstall everything and redo it. =/

Do you have the latest 2.6.0 version? They added support for mysqli in this version.

In the newest version, in the config file, there will be this line:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension']     = 'mysql';     // The php MySQL extension to use ('mysql' or 'mysqli') 

Change that to mysqli and you should be good to go.

In what file? phpMyAdmins's config.inc.php? I can't find a $cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] in there. =/

And I just downloaded the newest version from their homepage, atleast i think so.

It's in my config file. I have phpMyAdmin 2.6.0-beta2.

Yea I had an even newer version and in that config file there are no ['extension'] field. I'll get the older one and try! thanks!
