They are usual in the PHP directory. --> add the PHP directory to the (system) PATH environment variable. (Maybe a restart is required).

It relates to loading extension dll files. I can load the extension "php_gd2.dll", but if I try to load any of "php_mysql.dll", "php_mysqli.dll" or "php_mcrypt.dll" When I start apache (which attempts to load php as a module) I get a pop-up saying: "PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\server\php\ext\php_mcrypt.dll' - The specified module could not be found" Similar messages appear for the other two mysql dll files also. Then a second series of three identical popups is displayed. Apache still runs, and php is available, but as soon as, for example mysql is accessed in a script I get the familiar "Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect()..." Importantly, all four of these files are within the same directory which I can guarantee is that referred to by my php.ini file. And seeing as php_gd2.dll is accessed, one would assume that the extension_dir value is correctly set. Interestingly these errors only occur when using php via apache. That is, if I run "php -i" from the command line, no such error occurs. Comparing the output from php -i to that of the <?php phpinfo(); ?> command (accessed via apache) I can see that the value of "extension_dir" and "Loaded configuration File" show exactly the same values in both. However the "php -i" version contains a mysql and mysqli section whereas the webpage version does not. I've been playing with this for literally days now, and would REALLY love a solution. My software versions are as follows: PHP 5.2.9-2 (cli) (built: Apr 9 2009 08:23:19) Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 Zend Technologies Apache Server version: Apache/2.2.11 (Win32) Server built: Dec 10 2008 00:10:06 Mysql (not that I think it matters) mysqld Ver 5.1.34-community for Win32 on ia32 (MySQL Community Server (GPL)) Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3 Will be happy to provide any further information.
