Agreed - but only in the case of the php apache module. The php.exe will pick
up php4ts.dll because they live in the same directory.
I assume that the Apache module only fails because we choose to ship the
apache module dll inside the sapi folder instead of in the same directory as
php4ts.dll.
IMHO it would be better to move the apache module up a directory in the
distribution rather than advide people to stick things in winnt/system32 or
similar. We get plenty of support problems which are caused by people
forgetting to clear out the old junk in their system directories, and I'm
sure that this would be reduced by having the whole kit and caboodle in the
same directory. For that matter, I think it would be better for php.ini to
live there too!
