c:\php4 & gtk_dll

OK I have posted this before - some time ago.... I can not run a php-gtk app using 0.5.0 on my windows machine unless php lives in c:\php4 . if php || php_win.exe are not in c:\php4 then it dont work , the errors are basic , can not find this_dll.dll or that_dll.dll, all of which exist in the php/extensions or /dlls folder , the one that is that is relative to the command line I am running... i.e. c:\phpdev\php\php_win.exe -q -c c:\phpdev\php\php.ini -f c:\phpdev\php\spiny\spiny.php works fine... but ONLY if all the php bits and pieces live in C:\php4\ which is not even referenced there. & same with the relative php_win.exe -f spiny\spiny.php again , works fine until you delete otr rename the c:\php4 folder (not in my PATH btw). therefore something in either php4ts.dll & lib or php_gtk.dll must be referencing c:\php4 somewhere ???? Any suggestions , obvious things I done wrong etc ? Regards, Simon Wheeler Firepages
