The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

XAMPP PHP install not enabling MySQL extensions

Asked by bassNsnare in PHP for Windows, Apache Web Server, MySQL Server

Tags:

My current development server has an installation of ColdFusion 8 running on IIS and a MySQL server. In the near future, I'll be transitioning to PHP, but I'll need to keep CF running as to maintain my "legacy" apps. As most PHP hosting providers tend to offer Apache as their web server, I wanted to mirror that on my development server. I decided on XAMPP after playing with it on my local machine.

I did a clean install of the XAMPP package, neglecting to install MySQL as a service, as I already have it running on the server. For some reason, however, my PHP install simply refuses to enable ANY database interaction extensions. My XAMPP install on my local machine lists mssql, mysql, and mysqli as installed extensions. The XAMPP install on my development server lists none of them. I've made sure my php.ini files (php.ini and php5.ini) have the correct extensions enabled, but it's done nothing to correct the problem.

Is this occurring because I had a MySQL server already up and running when I installed? Attached is the relevant snippet from my php.ini file.Start Free Trial
