[AS9797]

I've just started using Dreamweaver and PHP and MySQL and i was following the article "Setting up a PHP development environment for Dreamweaver" and everything was going fine...just according to the writer, but in the end when i tried to connect the database in dreamweaver, it gave this error

"Your PHP server doesn't have the MySQL module loaded or you can't use the mysql_(p)connect functions."

ive tried to solve this problem by many ways but its not getting solved. kindly help me!!

Did you do the following from the tutorial?

Find the following line in the php.ini file:

;extension=php_mysql.dll

The semicolon (;) at the start of the line tells PHP to ignore the line.

Delete the semicolon at the start of the line to enable the extension.

extension=php_mysql.dll

Save and close the php.ini file.

In the PHP installation folder, locate the file called libmysql.dll and copy
it to the C:\Windows\system32 folder.

This file is required so that IIS can work with PHP 5 and MySQL.
