This is now documented at will show up after the next manual build at http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php#install.windows.extensions http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.gettext.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-04 02:13:57] funky dot frank at gmx dot de This is the line from the Windows-Install document, section 3-1 you mentioned earlier... php_gettext.dll Gettext functions PHP <= 4.2.0 requires gnu_gettext.dll (bundeld), PHP >= 4.2.3 requires libintl-1.dll (bundled). Here it says the the php_gettext.dll only requires the gnu_gettext.dll or the libintl-1.dll, the iconv.dll is NOT mentioned. But I think you're absolutely right with the !ATTENTION remarks in the install.txt. I should have seen that! Sorry for being stupid... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-03 23:00:37] sniper@php.net http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php#install.windows.extensions And then browse a little bit down and you'll find a table 3-1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-03 17:54:52] funky dot frank at gmx dot de Okay, you're right, but I wouldn't want to copy all these files, cause I don't need things like MS-Sql support and so on. Perhaps you could only mention the depencies of the dll's somewhere, like: php_gettext.dll requires libint-1.dll, and libint-1.dll requires the iconv.dll ... Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-03 17:08:13] edink@php.net You don't think this mention in install.txt is clear enough? ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! Some extra DLLs are required for some PHP extensions. Please copy the bundled dlls from the 'dlls/' directory in distribution package to your windows/system (Win9.x) or winnt/system32 (WinNT, Win2000, XP) directory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-03 13:24:32] funky dot frank at gmx dot de Hello! In your documentation or the install.txt you do not mention, that it is needed to copy the iconv.dll to your %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 or %SYSTEMROOT%\System if you want to use the gettext-Extension. You only mention the gnu_gettext.dll (for older versions) or the libint-1.dll. I found it in a comment by kleinerwurm at gmx dot net in the manual page for gettext (http://php.net/manual/en/ref.gettext.php) after having problems to start my Apache 1.3.24 with the php_gettext.dll. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23998&edit=1
