Hm, anyone know where to find non-GPLed libmysql 3.x for windows?

OK. PHP 5 snaps and distro's include php_mysql.dll (php extension) and dlls\libmySQL.dll (remember to copy this to the system folder).

php_mysql.dll from snap says
PHP Warning:  Unknown(): Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'php_mysql.dll'  in Unknown on line 0

Well, i guess Postgre now will get more attention from PHP Windows users.

ipa, did you copy libmySQL.dll to your SYSTEMROOT?  And/or has this been fixed in the newest snap?

Philip, this bug was fixed, so leave it closed.

The Windows binary distribution - PHP 5.0.0b1 -  downloaded 24 hours ago, includes libmysql.dll, but does NOT include php_mysql.dll.  Where can I find a copy of pup_mysql.dll?  Thanks.

you can get the latest stables versions of PHP5 win32 extensions at http://snaps.php.net/win32/PECL_STABLE , event with them i gived up installing php5 over my win2k machine and decided to install it on my redhat server instead (dont know if it'll work).

h3

You can obtain php_mysql.dll inside http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip . :^)

...but it crashes upon starting with "The specified procedure could not be found".  Sorry for the double post.

I caught the last version, Sep 24, 2003 14:30 GMT, i copied libmySql.ddl for system  and php_mysql.dll still did not function.

eu adoro o PHP.net....quer aprender a programar em PHP....entre no PHP.net....perfeito este site....

I have php5-win32-200311302330, but Mysql isn't supported.
I copied libmySQL.dll and php_mysql.dll  to Windows\System32 ... but isn't working....

How to enable this.... ?

thanks!

I've got php5b3, I copied libmysql.dll and php_mysql to system32, but I always get the same error: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect()". Is it still a bug in the beta-3 version, or do I something wrong?

I got this error initially but using the extension method is easy. I didn't copy any dlls anywhere - just left the php_mysql.dll in extensions and uncommented the reference to it in the extensions section of my php.ini - voila!

The only one you'd ever copy would be the libmySQL if you decided to use that rather than the extension I guess.

using PHP 5.0.0b3 and mysql 4.0.17 - all works fine.

I can second peter's comment as it worked for many after an hour of frustration, maybe this should be added to the database issues.

What you need to do is uncomment the mysql in the extensions section of php.ini and then copy d:\php\dlls\libmySQL.dll to d:\windows\

This works on XP Pro using PHP 5.0.0b3

Note: You may need to change d:\ to match the drive letter you are using!

I had a similar issue here; I believe the discrepancies in reports is probably due to the PATH Windows Environment Variable which is how DLLs are searched for (I think...)

Anyway: I installed ZDS 3.5.1 and received this problem... again. The fix was to:

RENAME to something benign:

C:\Program Files\Zend\php\libMySQL.dll (196KB)

COPY "new" libmysql.dll from this archive:

http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip

I ended up *NOT* having to put this in my SYSTEM32 folder. As a precaution, I also removed all libmysql.dll references from in there (just in case).

Also, an easy way to test this is to double click on PHP5.EXE (or php.exe) depending on your installation. You'll get a better error message (unable to find procedure mysql_drop_db) than the Apache one (The specified procedure could not be found).

Ahh, the wind blows.

Description
