I've moved from WAMP to EasyPHP and now there are problems using PDO. PDO works fine when I view the site in the browser, but doesn't work in cmd or when I run the test file via Netbeans. I get:

"PDOException: could not find driver"

In phpinfo() for Configure Command I have

cscript /nologo configure.js " --enable-snapshot-build" " --disable-isapi" " --enable-debug-pack" " --disable-isapi" " --without-mssql" " --without-pdo-mssql" " --without-pi3web" " --with-pdo-oci=D:\php-sdk\oracle\instantclient10\sdk, shared" " --with-oci8=D:\php-sdk\oracle\instantclient10\sdk, shared" " --with-oci8-11g=D:\php-sdk\oracle\instantclient11\sdk, shared" " --enable-object-out-dir=../obj/" " --enable-com-dotnet" " --with-mcrypt=static" " --disable-static-analyze"

In php.ini I have already uncommented these lines:

extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

extension=php_mysql.dll

Any ideas on how I can get this working?

When running php from the command line, you can use the -c or --php-ini argument to point to the php.ini file to use. This will allow you to use one php.ini file for both. You can also alias php to php -c/path/to/php.ini if you are running the script yourself.
