Answer 1

You should take in consideration more things, like:

• Locate any php.ini file on your system. If you have installed PHP using and installer than a ini file could be found in the installation folder as in the Windows folder as well.
• Copy the libraries in the same folder with the php.exe extension.

• Check your configuration for those special characters you got going there. What is that character before C:\ and what is with that spacing in the filename?

  ôC:\PHP\extö\php_mysq l.dll

Answer 2

It could be a problem with a wrong dll file.
You need a dll that is compatible with your php version.
Go to http://php.net and download new php package.

Or it can be a problem with a wrong value of "extension_dir" in php.ini
Try to change your extension directory to something simpler (without special characters), for example:
extension_dir = "c:/PHP/ext"
