note 55621 added to install.windows.extensions

Apache 2.0.54, Windows XP, Php 5.1 ------------------------------------------- In regards to fight4freedom2-live at yahoo dot com comments: (A) I had no problems with leaving the trailing forward slash on or off - both work (B) The reason why you need to put c:/php and c:/php/ext in the system variable path is because extension DLLs can require loading of other DLLs stored in the c:/php directory. For example: PHP 5 does not load the php_mysql.dll by default. Failure to specify c:/php in the system path will result in the mysql extension not loading. This is because php_mysql.dll loads libmysql.dll, which resides in c:/php. Additional tips to save you grief: 1) Always reboot to get the system variables in effect 2) Always restart Apache whenever making changes to PHP.INI as INI files are cached by Windows. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.extensions.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+55621 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55621&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55621&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55621&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55621&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55621&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55621&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+55621&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
