PHP mhash extension howto

Dear Matt, I noticed on php-windows that you seemed to have some trouble getting the php_mhash.dll to work for you. Personally I can confirm that this module works just fine on my dev machine (running win98, PHP 4.3.0, Apache_1.3.27/mod_ssl & Apache_2.0.44/mod_ssl). So you probably need to do some extra tweaking to get mhash support up and running. You already checked php.ini for the correct extensions_dir entry, but mhash also requires another file to be present and reachable on your machine: libmhash.dll ! Assuming you use the 'official' windows php binaries from www.php.net, you'll find this file in the PHP_ROOT/dlls folder. You could copy libmhash.dll to your PHP_ROOT/extensions dir and give it a try. Personally I like to retain the official tree layout (however confusing) and I've added my PHP_ROOT (c:\php) and my PHP_ROOT/dlls (c:\php\dlls) to the system path. Works like a charm... If you need any further assistance, don't hesitate to contact me... Greetings from Belgium, -dirk
