Php don't see mysql, mysqli and some other extensions

I installed apache web server, php and mysql. in configuration files everething is fine (both in php.ini and httpd.conf). The dlls in ext directory exist. But when I run phpinfo(), there is no mysql. What could be a problem? My operating system Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64), installed php 5.2 in C:\Program Files\PHP folder.

I'm not sure on Windows, but I know on Linux you have to install the php-mysql package in order to use those extensions. That is the interface that allows PHP to talk to MySQL. I'd strongly advocate not using the mysql extension and going with mysqli or PDO (PHP Data Objects).

PDO Installation info - http://php.net/manual/en/pdo.installation.php

mysqli info - http://php.net/manual/en/book.mysqli.php

Hopefully you find that helpful
