PHP version: 5.2.3
PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: install /mysql pain in the neck

Description:
------------
Can't get PHP working with MYSQL and your windows install help is clear as
MUD. It's looking for a PHP5 directory and where is that, pray tell ? Not
in the .INI file. LOTS of annoyed folks on the web about this; me too now.

New Comment:

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
