Hi. You need to download the "full PHP" binaries - it comes as a ZIP
file, then edit the PHP.ini file to add the PHP extension - look for a
line like
;extension php_mysql.dll
and remove the leading semicolon

Hello,
Perhaps you can assist me, I'm trying to do a test installation of
MediaWiki on my desktop. I installed MediaWiki, then I installed
SQLServer, then I installed PHP5 all on my local machine.
However, I received the following error message, when navigating to
the site and running the setup script:
Checking environment...
Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Unable to load dynamic library './mysql.so'
- The specified module could not be found. in
C:\wwwTest\mediawiki-1.5.1\install-utils.inc on line 17
Could not load MySQL driver! Please compile php --with-mysql or install
the mysql.so module.
I already saw you post here:
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2005-May/005285.html,
but wasn't enough information to help solve my problem. I'm using
Windows 2000. When I installed PHP 5.0.5, I downloaded the "PHP 5.0.5
installer" and ran that executable. Thus I did no compiling. Should I
be?
