Go to C:\program files\mysql\bin\

Copy this file libmysql .dll to C:\windows\system32\

System:

Windows XP

Why it occurred:

You originally installed a previous version of MySQL probably 4.+++ and then tried to install a new version MYSQL version 5++

Symptoms:

When you run your apache server you see this error in the error.log file of your Apache server

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘C:/Program Files/PHP/ext\\php_mysql.dll’ – The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0

… and it happened  despite php_mysql.dll already being in place
