For sure, you CANNOT mix-n-match the DLLs from PHP4 and PHP5. You can't even reliably mix-n-match 4.1.x and 4.1.y, really, I don't think. It *might* work, but I doubt it would be truly stable long-term, as sooner or later you'll use that one function that CHANGED between x and y, and Boom! That said, start with http://php.net/phpinfo and see where PHP thinks your php.ini file should be. Put your php.ini file there. Then, in that php.ini file, look for the extensions_dir setting, and see where it expects your extensions to be. Then put all your PHP5 DLLs there. Only include the DLLs that came bundled with your PHP5 zip, at least to start. You *might* be able to find PHP DLLs that were compiled with that EXACT SAME version of PHP for the libraries you want. But under no circumstances should you try DLLs compiled for other versions. If you're lukcy it won't work at all. If you're unlucky, it will SEEM to work, and you'll go on with life, until... see Boom! above. You may want to try the PHP-Windows list to locate specific DLLs for your PHP version. Good Luck! PS In theory, if you own MSVC++ 7 (8? 9?) you could snag PHP source and compile all the DLLs you need... I tried that once, and couldn't get past finding the "compile" button in the IDE, which promptly caused the IDE to puke un-intelligible error messages at me... I thrashed and flailed and Googled [*] for days and got nothing useful. I was doing this because the (there was only one then) PHP Windows guy was too busy to compile PHP for Windows and PHP 3.?.? had just come out and somebody else needed it... Some other person got the job done, fortunately. I never did get MSVC++ to do anything useful... * Can you call it Googling when you did it using search engines that pre-date Google because Google didn't exist?... :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
