Prophecy 2006 PHP MySQL support

To enable PHP MySQL support for prophecy, you'll need to download the driver, as it's not included in the prophecy distribution. If you want to use PDO (recommended) the only way I've found to get it is to download the full php zip file from here and extract the php_pdo_mysql.dll file to your voxeo root directory. Then in the same directoy edit the php.ini file, adding the following line at the bottom of the "extensions" section: extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll.

Alternatively, you can use the old format extension, available here. Extract the two files to your voxeo home directory and edit the php.ini file extension file, uncommenting the extension=php_mysql.dll line.

But you also need MySQL

Routerguy describes how to add the MySQL interface 5.x to P2006, but it does not explain how to add the MySQL database to your Windows PC.

The short answer: download the "full" PHP zip file that's referenced in the first paragraph. Unzip that into a directory called C:\php, and add that directory to your PATH. Restart, and php.exe is now in your path.

Unable to load...

i tried the steps you have mentioned in the post but I got an error saying that it's unable to load the dll. But I made sure it's in the right path. In fact, all the other libraries that are in the same path got loaded successfully. What seems to be the problem?
