note 55621 rejected from install.windows.extensions by betz

Note Submitter: kerry at kerryonworld dot com ---- 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.
