New installation instructions exist that recommend never copying any files to the Windows system directory. It's preferred to leave all files in the PHP directory and make it (the PHP folder) available to the systems PATH by editing the appropriate system environment variable. People copy files into the Windows system directory because it's in the PATH so no additional setup is required. Do not fall into this trap. Add the PHP directory to your PATH as doing so will make the world a better place. The updated manual is as follows:

If setup this way the above problem would not exist, PHP will find libmysql.dll. A FAQ on editing the systems path is here:

Sorry Philip, but I have to disagree
I did an install on Wednesday of this week. I placed an entry for my PHP folder in the PATH and it made no difference. Only once I had overwritten the libmysql.dll in the Windows system folder with the version that ships with PHP5 did I get everything to play nicely together.
