MySQL extension missing

    Hello,

    I’m getting this error message when trying to install wp3 beta2 on a win 7 x64 / php5.2 / apache2.15 / mysql5.1 box

    Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress

    https://wp3beta.local/wp-admin/install.php. The DB is created and wp-config.php fields seem OK

    It should work as I already use mysql with Drupal on the same machine.
    Here is the phpinfo part:

    mysqli
MysqlI Support	enabled
Client API library version 	5.0.51a
Client API header version 	5.0.51a
MYSQLI_SOCKET 	/tmp/mysql.sock

    Did I forget something?

    Thanks

    You did: the mysql PHP extension. It’s different from the mysqli extension.

    Once you’ve got it added you should be good to go.

    Thanks jdembowski, It works now.
    However, shouldn’t wordpress be compatible with mysqli?

    Don’t know if it should be, do know that it isn’t… I’m not savvy on what the differences are, so I’m not aware of what the issue is.
