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.
