if you installed wamp, then the mysql extension is enabled by default when you install wamp. however, if you installed php on your computer yourself, starting with php 5, the developers of php decided to set the mysql extension not enabled by default.
you need to edit your php.ini file and enable mysql extension yourself. if you have wamp installed, your php file is:
C:\wamp\Apache2\bin\php.ini
if you installed php yourself, php.ini is usually located here:
c:\WINDOWS\php.ini
find this line in your php.ini file:
;extension=php_mysql.dll
to enable that extension, remove the semicolon at the beginning of the line like this:
extension=php_mysql.dll
now save the file and restart apache for the new settings to take effect.
if you do not know where your php.ini file is located use phpinfo() to find the path to your php.ini file.
