 New Comment:

This is needed for a portable WAMP on a thumbdrive.

This should be classified as a bug, since the php.ini indicates that relative paths are to be used.

Some Windowses doesn´t works correctly with relative path. There should be some coment to note
this.

Description:
------------
php.ini line 729:
; On windows:
extension_dir = "ext"


Test script:
---------------
php.ini line 729(here should be note, that (some???)Windows may needs absolute path for loading
extensions):
; On windows:
extension_dir = "ext"


Expected result:
----------------
Windows(min. XP) doesn´t work with relative paths correctly. There should be the absolute path to
work right("C:\PHP54\ext"). I seems that Win take the path from system path variable
first. So it would be fine, if there will be some coment for this unexpected behavior. For example:
"Windows may needs absolute path for loading extensions".
