There's a special problem in WinXP system at installing php extension. I had this problem with php_xmlrpc.dll first, but it happened to me also with other extensions. Problem: You get a message like "Unable to load dynamic library xyz.dll ...", but all configurations are done well. "extension_dir" is set well and the extension is loaded by "extension=xyz.dll". This error message is misleading. The problem is, that the extension needs another dll-file which is is usually located in .../php/dlls. Because this dll's are not found, the module isn't loaded. Two solutions are possible: 1) Bring this path (.../php/dlls) into windows envorinment variable PATH! Changes can be made under [System Control][System][Extend][Environmentvariables]. 2) Copy the dll-files from path (.../php/dlls) to (.../windows/system32). This path is already in PATH variable. rogo -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+24117 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+24117 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+24117
