Hi
Well I uninstalled Xampp 1.7 completely. I have been using Xampp for years but it was the first time I have an issue with a script.
I installed Xampp 1.7 again and followed the instructions showed in the link
I downloaded :
http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/ ... latest.zipunziped it, then copied libmysql.dll into xampp\apache\bin and xampp\php. Restarted apache.
Here is my phpMyadmin display
before doing the trick above:
MySQLServer: localhost via TCP/IP
Server version: 5.1.30-community
Protocol version: 10
User: root@localhost
MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
Web serverApache/2.2.11 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8j mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.2.8
MySQL client version: 5.1.30
PHP extension: mysql
phpMyAdminVersion information: 3.1.1

and
after the trick:

User: root@localhost

As you can see before we have: MySQL client version: 5.1.30 and after we have MySQL client version: 5.0.51a . I did this on 2 different computers and had the same results. By the way I also noticed that the libmysql.dll that we are supposed to download is much
lighter than the one that was inluded in Xampp so I suppose it is not the good solution nor the good file for the problem with PDO and Magentocommerce. And of course I still have the message in phpMyadmin:
Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.51a differs from your MySQL server version 5.1.30. This may cause unpredictable behavior.PS: all my other scripts using Xampp 1.7 work great: joomla, modx, wordpress, expression engine and PHPmyFAQ.
