SOLUTION FOUND!

i copied libmysql.dll and php_mysql.dll to my c:\windows\ folder

suddenly my script connects. that's all it took.

my extension directory is set to C:\PHP in php.ini, but for some reason,
placing the dlls in
the windows folder did the trick. i searched httpd.conf and php.ini for
"WINDOWS" and did not find
a reference, but it works.

thank you for taking the time to help. maybe this info can help you or

someone you know.
