Obviously, the main interest of this document lies here, that displays an error, which is very common in windows platform; may turn very agonizing if you are ware of the facts we wanted to address in this document.

Below can cause this problem in window where you drag few files from the folder (ext) where Php is installed.

Meaning, if you did not copy the "DLL" files to windows/system32 folder, please do so.

Also, make use php.ini calls this library, unmark extension_mysql.dll

Special note: In Apache server you must have php set is as

# activate
LoadModule php5_module c:/php5/php5apache2.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "c:/php5"

Your end result at the end may extend you a taste of satisfaction, it was not desired in the first place, but with the fast pace technology there will be always something to be fixed or bypassed.
