 * Dear sirs, I’m setting up a new development machine for a sligthly olderer WP
   product.
 * Environment:
    Windows 7 MySQL 5.6.20 community edition Apache 2.2 php 5.4.33
 * when running php to list modules both
    mysql, and mysqli are enabled, so it seams
   my php.ini looks rigth.
 * I am capable of doing mysqli connect and query cals from apache php script, but
   when trying to install worpress I’m receiving:
    ‘Your PHP installation appears
   to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.’
 * looking at the check in load.php makes me believe there is an issue eigther with
   the extension discovery or the lack of a db.php.
 * Any Suggestions?

 * Solved, php.ini extensin directory needed full path;
 * c:/php/ext instead of only ext
