Greetings. I am new to PHP and would appreciate any I can get.

I am having a tough time figuring out what is going on with the PHP
installtion on a W2k server. I have configured PHP (by editing the
php.ini file) to load the php_mysql.dll, which seems to be loaded
properly because I can run "php -i" from the command prompt and see a
section with mysql info as follows:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mysql

MySQL Support => enabled
Active Persistent Links => 0
Active Links => 0
Client API version => 5.0.51a

Directive => Local Value => Master Value
mysql.allow_persistent => On => On
mysql.connect_timeout => 60 => 60
mysql.default_host => no value => no value
mysql.default_password => no value => no value
mysql.default_port => no value => no value
mysql.default_socket => no value => no value
mysql.default_user => no value => no value
mysql.max_links => Unlimited => Unlimited
mysql.max_persistent => Unlimited => Unlimited
mysql.trace_mode => Off => Off
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PHP also seems to be working fine with IIS because I am able to
display a .php page on the server that contains the command phpinfo().
However, if I run any mysql statement in the .php file, (e.g.,
mysql_connect), the processing seems to just stop at the mysql
statement, and ignoring everything below it. No error message is
returned. When I looked at the info generated from phpinfo() on the
web page, I noticed two things:
1. There is no MySQL section (in contrast to the command line result
above)
2. There is a ISAPI section which is not present in the command line
result.

I guess teh ISAPI thing is normal, but it is the lack of the MySQL
section that baffles me.

I have also tried usinig php_mysqli.dll instead of php_mysql.dll, and
I got similar results as above. So, the problem is that the dll is not
loaded by the web server (i.e., IIS). Any idea what is going on?
Please .

Many thanks.
