Your PHP is using a wrong "php.ini"?

(verify with phpinfo())

[yeaziwei]

i have changed both php.ini at the following directory

C:\xampp\apache\bin

and

C:\xampp\php

I not sure both are correct or not. any suggestion?

and
What should I check on the phpinfo();?????

You should be able to connect to MySQL without any problems as the mysql support in php shipped with XAMPP is enabled by default!

If you open http://localhost/phpmyadmin do you get any error messages?

If not, please post your Code here!

my phpMySQLadmin has the following error.


Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation

Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account. Your MySQL server is running with this default, is open to intrusion, and you really should fix this security hole.

Anything in Apache's "error.log"?

Try also to change "display_startup_errors" from "Off" to "On" in "php.ini", restart Apache, and look into "error.log".

Yes, I hit error.

There is a error message pop-up.

says ..
