Hi!

This means that your PHP does not contain the mysql or mysqli extension. Are you sure you enabled that in your PHP? Check the output of your phpinfo().

ok, i did enable msql and mysqli in the php.ini file. but my server is setup with a C: as a system drive and D: as a data drive. the php and mysql installations were on the d: drive. and even though in enviroment varibles i entered the path to the php.ini file located on the d:, i still needed to copy it to the c:\windows directory. once i did that the issue was resolved. but you were correct, the extensions werent enable because the php.ini file was not being read. thanks for everything garvin.
