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! Cheers -- Phil Driscoll
