For windows binaries, if you want to enable other databases, you have to uncomment the associated .dll file in the php.ini. Php doesn't have a seperate dll file for mysql, as the module is build right in (you couldn't disable it if you wanted to). When you compile it directly, if you don't specify any options, then you automatically get mysql support. That's what it means by 'built in'.

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.
