ok so I was following the wiki.
it says to test mysql by using phpmyadmin.
My test fails.
it says, "Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation"
when I look at documentation it says,
" 1.20 I receive the error "cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration".
To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of MySQL functions called "MySQL extension". This extension may be part of the PHP distribution (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or php_mysql.dll. phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed.
Usually, the problem is solved by installing a software package called "PHP-MySQL" or something similar."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I already enabled the mysql.so in /etc/php/php.ini
;extension=imap.so
;extension=json.so
;extension=ldap.so
;extension=mcrypt.so
;extension=mhash.so
;extension=mime_magic.so
extension=mysql.so <-----------------------------------------
;extension=mysqli.so
;extension=ncurses.so
;extension=odbc.so
;extension=openssl.so

Make sure you have the MySQL Client Libraries installed. Really, just doing "pacman -S mysql" should do the trick (While installing all the server essentials), but it seems to have not worked in this instance, but indeed, make sure you restart the httpd (/etc/rc.d/httpd restart) before trying again, it'll reload the httpd.conf and php.ini files then.

I had a bad hard-drive so after reinstalling arch and mysql it just started working. Don't know what I did wrong sry.

hmm, this is really really awkward. i have the same problem and my partition is not corrupted (as far as i know).
i've setup lamp on my new laptop and everything works just fine, but not on my home pc.
this really sucks!
any suggestions?

i have the same problem and i solved this with a little change in php.ini
i think you have to change php extension directory to this
extension_dir = "/usr/lib/php/modules/"
