Problem: Unable to load dynamic library

[dainstructor]

Full error message: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\\php5\\ext\\php_mysql.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0

I recently installed Apache 2.0.59 and PHP 5.2.0 binary on my machine running Windows XP. Apache starts up with no problem but my php will not work. When I checked the error logs I had the aforementioned error.

I've googled this problem and while it seems to be a somewhat common one, nothing has seemed to work.

•I’ve Added PHP to my Windows startup procedure, editing the php5 system variable, and creating a new one – no results
•I’ve placed a copy of the mysql.dll in my system32 folder. – this gets rid of the error message, but I still cannot load any php.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks in advance.
