It doesn't seem to matter if a long filename containing spaces is quoted. The following seems to work, although I have no idea how to throughly test this. extension_dir = F:/Program Files/phpdev/php/extensions I tried to explore this but it involves Bison parsing of the ini file and I got lost in the muddle of identifiers all starting with "yy". Tested with v4.3.1, v4.3.2RC1, v4.5.x and v5.0.x. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22776&edit=1
