Yeah I followed all of that, but mysql will still not work with php.
EDIT: Alright I think I may have found a problem. Apparently it thinks that my php.ini directory is C:\WINDOWS, although I never had a php.ini file in there it would still show phpinfo(). When I moved my php.ini file there I can no longer view my php file with phpinfo(). So I'm guessing php and Apache was not setup correctly.
Why would adding my php.ini file to C:\WINDOWS break it and cause it not to work?
Edit: PROBLEM SOLVED. I didn't have short tags enabled so "<?" was being recognized. Needed to change the script to <?php LOL. All works fine.

And now we find the reason why everybody says to use the full version of the tags.
:)
I'm glad you got your setup working correctly. |

| Even though in you have everything set up now, you, or anybody else, might want to check out xampp in the future. It easily sets up Apache HTTPD 2.2.9, MySQL 5.0.67, PHP 5.2.6 and PHP 4.4.9, phpMyAdmin 2.11.9.2, OpenSSL 0.9.8i, SQLite 2.8.15, and some other stuff (you can get the "lite" version if you don't want the other stuff) and includes upgrade packages to easily upgrade your xampp setup when upgrade are available, instead of trying to update each thing by yourself (although upgrade packages don't exist for the lite version). You can also easily install Perl and Tomcat as add-ons, too. |

So true.  But thanks. Slackers never win. haha. Actually despite the fact I could change the php.ini to accommodate the short end version I didn't. I should just not be lazy that's all.

Yeah I did install xampp, but I never find satisfaction in using it. I'm one of those people who prefer to do it themselves. But yeah anyone wanting to setup a development environment and doesn't want the hassle should check out xampp. |

Alternatively on Windows use the bundled copy of IIS, where setting up PHP merely involves copying php.ini to %windir% and going Handler Mappings->Add Script Map and pointing *.php at php?isapi.dll. Good for lazy people!  |

| I've found WampServer to be pretty easy to set up and very useful for building sites locally. |

In Windows:
Create an environmental variable for the System (not user) scope.
PHPRC and c:\php or wherever you PHP installation is located.
This is how to configure where PHP will look for php.ini
I would highly recommend using IIS if it is version 6.0 or higher. In other words, on Server 2003, IIS 6.0 and PHP is incredible. It is way better than Apache and PHP. I do not want to get into the whole Linux/Windows Apache/IIS debate again, but let me just say that Windows is really robust now.
