I am getting the below error message:
 
phpMyAdmin - Error
Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation
 
I have this issue which appears to be a very common problem as I have researched for a solution for the past 24 hours.
 
What I have tries is many many things.
 
I have changed my path in my system variables to point to the c:\webserver\php\ext directory, I have made sure I uncommented all the php_mysql*.dll's in the php.ini file.
 
I have changes modified the L:\<webroot>\phpmyadmin\config.inc.php file.  
 
I know the PHP is working because when I created the test.php file it worked showed all of my php configuration.
 
I know that mysql is working because I can login from the command line.  
 
I have gotten information from many sources:

phpMyAdmin-3.2.1-english
php-5.2.10-Win32
