Don't necessarily trust phpinfo.  I recently had to setup php and a mysql
server, and even though it had mysql support, phpinfo said it is setup with
the parameters --without-mysql

But I do agree with you.  99% of the time the undefined function messages in
relation to database connectivity is because support for that db was not
included.

As far as help, I can not... unless you have a compiler for windows.  Other
than that, I do not know how the win version handles the binaries and
add-ins.
