Hi, I'm having some problems loading the mysqli extension in my local installation of PHP and am getting the 'Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysqli_connect()' error. I've read around a bit on the internet and have tried numerous things. First things first my current set-up is: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit IIS is not disabled - but this is mainly because when I went looking for it I could not find it so suspect Win 7 home premium does not come with it.

Missing MySQL Extension - Struggling To Resolve Downloaded libmysql. Canon Copier Pc 775 Manual High School. Epson Tmu200 Printer Manual. dll and pasted that in system32 folder, php5 directory and in ext folder. All in the aim of trying to figure out why the MySQL extension won't load.

In spite of this point I'm connecting to Apache through port 8080 as I could not get it working through the default port (80?) Apache 2.2. Hp Software Update Downloads. 21 (Win 32) PHP 5.2.17 (vc6 thread safe version) MySQL 5.5.19 My SQL seems to be running fine as I've been in and run stuff using the command line interface. Also my IDE (JetBrains PhpStorm) has a database connector to allow for control and maintenance of the DB within the IDE. This also connects up just fine and I've run some SQL scripts through the IDE.

Right then so stuff I've tried (in approximate temporal order) I restated the Apache server after each of these and have also totally re-booted the system at least once: I followed all the instructions in Kevin Yank's book: Build Your Own Database Driven Website using PHP & MySQL (4th Edition) Check the php.ini file in 'C: PHP' I have the right path to the extensions folder 'C: PHP ext' the semi-colon in front of 'extension=php_mysqli.dll' is removed the semi-colon in front of the similarly titled 'extension=php_mysql.dll' above is not removed Run There is no section for mysqli module. There are 8 references to MySQL but in each case they are due to the inclusion of 'C: Program Files (x86) MySQL MySQL Server 5.5 bin' in the PATH environment variable. Under PHP Core I can see that doc_root = 'C: Program Files (x86) Apache Software Foundation Apache2.2 htdocs' and that extension_dir = 'C: PHP ext'. These are both the values I set in my PHP.ini file so I'm pretty sure the right one is being used.
