note 97500 added to install.windows.manual

It should be noted that even before starting PHP installation, you should research extension requirements for those you plan to use. For a list of common extensions and dll requirements and prerequisites, see the table on this php.net page: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.extensions.php Commonly used extensions are listed in alphabetical order in the default php.ini file that comes with the windows packages. Some extensions must be loaded before others or else the server may crash with an unhelpful, seemingly unrelated dll error. For example, in your php.ini file, you must manually place 'extension=php_exif.dll' -after- 'extension=php_mbstring.dll' if you wish to use the exif and mbstring extensions or else your server may crash. The msi installer may or may not automatically have correct load order, but for manual installs, it does not. Do not attempt to uncomment extension lines in the default php.ini file that comes packaged with php install or zip packages without knowing what you're doing. Before loading extensions in this manner, be sure you have met the prerequisites for load order and have ready any missing dll files listed in the above link. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 66.25.188.193 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.manual.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/97500 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97500/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97500/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97500/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97500/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97500/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97500/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97500 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/97500 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
