The build system for PHP on windows (and PHP-GTK which has a SEPARATE build system) is run with CSCRIPT - windows command based script host, and is written in Jscript (a microsoft javascript variant) If you have a PHP server installed on your windows machine you will need a separate PHP install for PHP-GTK. Also you need to make sure that you're getting the right php-cli.ini loaded. If you need a php_mysql.dll to use with PHP-GTK you need the extension from the NON THREAD SAFE (nts) download of php at php.net - NOT the regular or thread safe version - they don't work together. Also remember that PHP-GTK only works with the PHP CLI - it is NOT for use with a server! Thanks, Elizabeth Smith
