Which PHP extension are you trying to use? The most common options are mysql, mysqli, or pdo.

I was the problem of mysqli., Copied file “libmysql.dll” from C:\PHP to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folder.

made changes in php.ini:

extension_dir = "c:\php\ext".
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll

Now its working properly :)

Note that you should never copy PHP-related files (such as libmysql.dll) outside of the main PHP folder.

Instead, the "solution" would have been to add the PHP directory to your system's PATH environment variable (as instructed per the manual).
