PHP5/MySQL on Windows

If you are running PHP and MySQL on a Windows machine and you would like to upgrade to PHP 5.0.0, make sure you download and configure (./configure –with-mysql) the source code because the installer does not come bundled with MySQL support. I know… it’s dumb! PHP 5.0.0 now comes with a stripped down version of MySQL called SQLite, which has its own set of functions of course (no mysql_connect() here).

You state:
“If you are running PHP and MySQL on a Windows machine and you would like to upgrade to PHP 5.0.0, make sure you download and configure (./configure –with-mysql) the source code because the installer does not come bundled with MySQL support. ”
The “source code” and “installer” web page links don’t work right now. Also, could you elaborate how to do a configuration? Do I just go to the command line?
Thanks.
