note 51853 added to install.windows.extensions

You obviously didn't read the whole (that means all sections, not just using 10 secs to get a quick overview) installation instructions for PHP5 under win32. Here's a quick primer, using Apache 2.0.53 and PHP 5.0.4: 1) Install Apache. Add the lines explained in the Apache 2 section of the PHP Manual to the httpd.conf. Use the PHPIniDir setting! 2) Extract PHP5 to the directory you want. 3) Open up php.ini-recommended and uncomment the extensions you want. In this case just php_mysql.dll is needed. Save the file as php.ini in your PHP folder. 4) Read the PATH instructions from the FAQ! The link is in the Windows instructions. Add your PHP directory to PATH. This will mean that you won't have to copy any files, what so ever to your Windows directory or any of its subdirectories. 5) Restart the system. Did it work? Should have. :) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.extensions.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+51853 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51853&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51853&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51853&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51853&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51853&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+51853&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
