PHP5/ MySQL extension PROBLEM

Hello buds , Yesterday i installed Apache server , PHP5 , and MySQL onto my laptop for testing my web page purposes.
ALL looks like working properly but i need to restore the .sql file into mysql.
It was unsuccessful.
I backed up my database on the host to my laptop.
The problem was , mysql admin doesnt restore sqldump files.
If this can be solved, my problem is solved , i tried it failed. then i decided to install phpmyadmin.
I copied the files , but it keeps on saying.
phpMyAdmin – Error
Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. – Documentation

mysql extension is included in my php.ini file.
extension=php_mysql.dll
just like that.
