If anyone out there understands what Windows does in these circumstances, can they shed some light on proceedings. <snip> You don't need to copy ANY of the php dlls to \winnt\system32. "php4ts.dll" runs fine from the php directory, as any dlls your application tries to load is first searched for in the application's directory. The extension-dlls can also stay where they are (in the "extensions" directory), BUT you need to change a line in the "php.ini": extension_dir = ./extensions Maybe this should be a default value instead of extension_dir = . Just my suggestion anyway, especially sine the install.txt doesn't mention this. - Carsten
