title: PHP.ini Mysql issues
body: <p>I've spent a lot of time trying to fix this issues. I keep getting a <code>Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect()</code> error so I did some net trawling and others are having the same problem but manage to fix it by including 'extension=' and un-commenting 'extension=php_mysql.dll' but as you can see doing both of those things still don't work. What have a missed?</p>

  ; this to 1 will cause PHP CGI to fix its paths to conform to the spec.  A setting

  ; The path can be defined as:
  ;
  ;     session.save_path = "N;/path"
  ;
  ; where N is an integer.  Instead of storing all the session files in
  ; /path, what this will do is use subdirectories N-levels deep, and
  ; store the session data in those directories.  This is useful if you
  ; or your OS have problems with lots of files in one directory, and is
  ; a more efficient layout for servers that handle lots of sessions.
  ;
  ; NOTE 1: PHP will not create this directory structure automatically.
  ;         You can use the script in the ext/session dir for that purpose.
  ; NOTE 2: See the section on garbage collection below if you choose to
  ;         use subdirectories for session storage
  ;
  ; The file storage module creates files using mode 600 by default.
  ; You can change that by using
  ;
  ;     session.save_path = "N;MODE;/path"
  ;
  ; where MODE is the octal representation of the mode. Note that this
  ; does not overwrite the process's umask.

  ; This option forces PHP to fetch and use a cookie for storing and maintaining
  ; the session id. We encourage this operation as it's very helpful in combating
  ; session hijacking when not specifying and managing your own session id. It is
  ; not the end all be all of session hijacking defense, but it's a good start.
