Hello,

When I want to install I can't pass the requirements test, simply because it can't find any supported DB Extensions. I'm using XAMPP, with MySQL & Apache running. (Latest XAMPP, Downloaded Today).

I've heard something of PHP 5.0+ doesn't have mysql enabled itself, so I went to php.ini & checked php_mysql and msql, mysqli etc, they were already loaded (there was no ; in front on them) & I checked the extensions folder (php/ext) and found php_mysql.dll, php_mysqli.dll etc there.

With the program called Navicat, I can connect to mySQL & its databases.

I Don't know what to do, please help me!
Hi,

Can you create a file called "phpinfo.php" with the following contents:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Call it via your browser, and check if there are some "MySQL" and "MySQLi" areas which look similar to the following:
