How to Install MySQL Files in PHP
The PHP language lets you call MySQL statements from your Web server. You must add the MySQL files to your PHP installation before you can connect to the MySQL server. The installation adds the necessary drivers you use in the PHP code. If you already have PHP installed, you must revise the installation from the Windows Control Panel.
