Issues with Loading MySQL in PHP 

This error message means that your PHP version isn’t compiled with MySQL support. 

Don’t worry we have your fix.

Step One: Open php.ini file.

Ensure that your  extension_dir is pointing to PHP\ext where your extensions (modules) reside.
    For Example:  extension_dir =”C:\Program Files\PHP\ext”  

Next we need to activate the php_mysql.dll extension by removing the semicolon.

Change  ;extension=php_mysql.dll to extension=php_mysql.dll

                 also add extension=php_mysqli.dll to the list.

Step Two: Go to mysql.com and download “php_5.2.0_mysqli_5.0.27-win32.zip” or “php_5.2.0_mysql_5.0.27-win32.zip” 

Step Three: Unrar those files into your \PHP\ext folder

Step Four: Restart your server.

 Apache 2.o.59 Win
PHP 5.2.1 Win
MySQL 5.0.37 Win
