Note Submitter: Kerry Kobashi ---- In regards to getting extensions working with PHP 5 on Windows. Assuming you downloaded PHP and extracted it to the c:/php directory: 1) Move your PHP.INI file to the c:/php directory PHP.INI isn't being picked up from the Windows system directory. I've read lots of people having problems with this so this should kill the probs once and for all. Validate with phpinfo. 2) All Windows extensions are in the C:/PHP/EXT directory. To get PHP to load these modify PHP.INI: extension_dir = "c:/php/ext/" No, you *don't* need to copy the DLLs into the Windows system directory. Avoid DLL hell! 3) Load the extension (example XSL): extension=php_xsl.dll ---- Reason: useless note
