You will need to download the Collection of PECL modules for PHP 5.0.3

add these extensions into your php extension folder (defined in php.ini), and uncomment in php.ini (usually in C:/Windows):

Ok the details of it being in C:/windows helped.
Once I did that I get a warning error

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '.php_mysql.dll' - the specified module could not be found.

this means that you have NOT downloaded the extenshions, or put them into your extenshion folder (defualt: extensions).

download the Collection of PECL modules for PHP 5.0.3

I downloaded that file, and unzipped it into php folder under

C:/program files/php/ext
Im getting the same exact warning message.

OK in php.ini find the property:

Ok I have the same error message except it says PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '.ext/php_mysql.dll' - the specified module could not be found.

Hmmm just be smart :D. If you are working with windows just go start ---> search. Once the window opens, type the file you want to use and search. If the file is found you should see the path. Copy this into your root and you are done.

Example: If your path is: C:\PHP\....ect and the file is located at C:\myqsl\ you have 2 options. Option 1: You can change the path or option 2: You can copy the file into the right path.

It isn't so hard as it looks ;)

Ok, I removed everything, and reinstalled abyss server, PHP, and PHPMYADMIN.

Well PHP folder is C:/php , and there isnt one in program files. In C:/php there isnt a folder called EXT ? whats up with that?

[danthemandoo]

because using the windows installer the extensions arn't needed because most of it is built into it. Downloading the binaries without the installer will give you all the dll's in the extensions dir.

[cnl83]

So should I download all the binaries? I need to get phpmyadmin working.
Im getting the same error messages

I dloaded that file extracted it into my php directory..
I removed the ; off of the extension name in the php.ini file.

It still says cannot load mysql.dll

cnl83, not sure if you got everthing to work, but here's what I did.

-Download phpMyAdmin, which you probably already have done and follow the tutorial on http://www.trustabyss.com/.
-Download php 5.0.3-Win32.zip from http://www.php.net/downloads.php
*Be sure to download the one that reads: "PHP 5.0.3 zip package", because this is the one that comes with the 'php_mysql.dll' file.
-Follow the tutorial from http://www.trustabyss.com/ to install PHP
-Download the 'Collection of PECL modules for PHP 5.0.3'
*I'm not sure if you really need these, but do it anyway
-Extract these files to the 'C:/PHP/ext' folder
-Download MySQL 4.0 from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/
-Follow the tutorial from http://www.trustabyss.com/
*When you first run MySQL create a username and password, which will
initiate the 'green light.'
-Go to your php.ini file in the 'C:/WINDOWS' folder and find...

;extension=php_mysql.dll

and change it to...

extension=php_mysql.dll

-Finally find...

extension_dir = "./"

and change it to...

extension_dir = "ext"

-Now if you open your Abyss Web Server Console and type in the URL:
http://127.0.0.1/phpadmin

Tada! You should see phpMyAdmin up and running!

Hope this helps!
