Before anyone suggests that I search the forums for assistance with my error, please know I have! I have install, uninstalled, and reinstalled until my little fingers are numb!

I am getting the error the seems to be a common error when attempting to install phpmyadmin...

"Cannot load mysql extension"

I followed the instructions of numerous sources, including aprelumtech's advice...

Here is what I have installed on a Windows XP machine... (NEW)
Apache2
php 5.1.6
mysql 5.0.27
phpmyadmin 2.9.0.3

Now I have tried the earlier versions of each of the following:
php, mysql and phpmyadmin.....

I am about to lose it here! Does anyone have the right recipe or mix of versions that will work well together...

AGAIN, I have searched the forums and followed (numerous times to make sure i have not made any mistakes) instructions to a T.... but still get the same error over and over and over and over and over again!

HELP! ;(
thanks...

First of all, this forum is primarily for Abyss users, but that's OK. That just means we might not have the knowledge to help you. Abyss is SO much easier to setup than Apache, which is its primary draw. You might want to experiment. :)

Check your PHP.ini.
Take out the semicolon in this line.
