There is a thread in our PHP Forum Library [webmasterworld.com] for troubleshooting MySQL but includes an extensive discussion on which php.ini is being used [webmasterworld.com].

I start with the recommended.ini file for local testing. I encourage you to read through the configuration directives though until you understand each one and what options each provides. Obviously, you can skip over those that you are not using -- for example, if you aren't using ODBC or Postgresql you could skip over them for now.
