Hi keebosh,

Did you restart IIS after uncommenting php_mysql.dll? To verify that the MySQL extension is actually loaded you can use the phpinfo function to output your PHP entironment details.

i.e. Place the following code in a file called something like info.php and put it in your XOOPS root directory;

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

Then access this file through a browser to get the details. e.g.http://example.com/info.php
