I feel like I’ve tried everything. I’ve got copies of libmysql.dll all over the place, same with php_mysqli.dll and php_mysql.dll. The php.ini is in my C:\Windows directory, with the following extensions enabled thusly:

extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll

MySQL seems to be working fine. I use Navicat and I can see my data dandy. PHP seems to be working fine too. A call to phpinfo shows lotsa stuff, though no mention of mysql. A snippet(I’m no php expert) like

if (mysql_connect(’localhost’,'root’,'mypassword’)) {
if (mysql_select_db(’mysql’)) {
echo "connected
}
} else {
echo "cannot connect to database";
}

gives absoutely no output whatsoever. At least I’d like to see a message telling me I can’t connect.

I’ve spent way, way too many hours on this and I don’t know where to go for help.

Thanks,

Dave Fobare
