I have installed php successfully on a Windows 7 machine but I can not for the life of me get it to read the php.ini file.

I have uncommented out the line for php to use mysql and when I run phpinfo(), it never shows up.

I have checked to make sure there is only one php.ini file on my entire c:\ drive and it's sitting in my c:\windows folder.

has anyone else run into this and know of a solution to get php to read the .ini so that I can enable some extensions (mysql etc)?
