Thanks a lot to the user who said that we have to move the file php.ini to the folder /bin of the Apache server. it resolves me the same problem after more than one week of trying failed methods.

Of course we must uncomment in the file the two lines;

;extension=php_mysql.dll
;extensin_dir="ext"

by removing the semi-colon (;) and by specifying the full path for the extension library php_mysql.dll rather than ext as follows

extension=php_mysql.dll
extensin_dir="c:\Apache22\php53\ext"

For me I installed Apache in the folder c:\Apache22 and PHP in the folder c:\Apache22\php53, you must use your own values.

NOTE: Because mysql_ functions like mysql_connect() become deprecated in PHP 5.5 and above, it is recommended to enable also the library php_mysqli.dll to use functions like mysqli_ (improved version of mysql_ functions). To do that it is simple, you just have to uncomment the line:

;extension=php_mysqli.dll

in the file PHP.ini as follows:

extension=php_mysqli.dll
