I got curious and looked at the docs: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.dl.php Parameters library This parameter is only the filename of the extension to load which also depends on your platform. For example, the sockets extension (if compiled as a shared module, not the default!) would be called sockets.so on Unix platforms whereas it is called php_sockets.dll on the Windows platform. Are you specifying the full path or just the filename? I'm guessing the former judging by it's location in your filesystem - e.g. not in the right place ;) Col.
