on loading oscommerce page, i get this on screen 'FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!' and then loading phpmyadmin i get this; 'cannot load mysql extension, please check PHP Configuration' i am running both inside apache2 htdocs folder on win2000, latest php, apache and mysql. For first error i searched for register globals and turned it on, restarted apache but still i get it. Second eror i don't know as well, but i suspect it's to do with mysql configuration. Any suggestion to get me over these errors will be heavenly sent. Cheers. simon

Latest PHP (PHP5.0) doesnt have mysql included. This topic has been covered well in a few threads below.

This is what i followed but still same message in trying to open pages listed above; 'Windows users may enable the extension php_mysql.dll inside php.ini. Also, copy libmySQL.dll into the appropriate %SYSTEMROOT% directory, just like you do with every other bundled DLL from the dll directory.' enables php_mysql.dll by removing ; this in php.ini and put files into root directory. simon
