Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-08 15:17:01] aren at cambre dot biz Oops, correcting the summary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-08 15:16:17] aren at cambre dot biz Wrong-o. I loaded up filemon. You are correct that php is reading a php.ini in c:\windows. However, that file contains this line: extension_dir = c:\PHP\ext Next? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-08 14:27:01] tony2001@php.net You are changing wrong php.ini. Check phpinfo() to see which php.ini is used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-02 21:54:16] noah dot rusnock at echo-digitaldesign dot com I just setup a Windows 2000 SP4 virtual machine using Microsoft VirturalPC 2007 beta. I used the exact same setup as I did for my Windows XP (non-virtual machine) Apache server with PHP and I am still unable to load any extensions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-02 20:50:11] noah dot rusnock at echo-digitaldesign dot com I have been dealing with this problem for months! I am using Windows XP SP2 with Apache 2.0.59 and PHP 5.1.6. I think I have had this issue since 5.1.4 or 5.1.3; I don't remember. I am new to PHP and Apache, but setup my own localhost server earlier this year (2006) and have had this problem from the beginning. (I added a vote, but submitted it as a 3; should be a 5; I need this working to start learning MySQL) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
