Benj, Perhaps because MySQL is not a "native" Windows RDBMS, possibly being perceived by Microsoft fans as a Linux-only thang. Someone unfamiliar with MySQL may incorrectly assume that PHP for Windows doesn't have MySQL support.

Now on the download page: http://www.php.net/downloads.php Under Windows Binaries: PHP 4.0.6 zip Package says "MySQL support BUILT-IN" Knowing PHP supports every database, why on the download page it mentions something about MySQL? And why use the words "built-in". I was assuming MySQL came with it already. I guess to find out, I'll have to install it, but being far from the US and with small bandwith, downloading large files is not always ideal to do. :-) I was just checking if someone has already got the latest PHP version for Windows and would ask if ever MySQL did come with it.
