mssql has a dependency on mysql. Go figure. MySQL has some dependencies, also, although they are a little easier to find info on and do not require installing other extensions. If you have the PHPRC system path set to your Windows PHP directory, you should be OK. Otherwise you may have to copy some additional files to the system32 directory. -jim -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Kleimeyer [mailto:kleimey@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2006 10:56 PM To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Problem installing mssql extension I've read all the documentation, and tried every suggestion, but I'm still unable to run the mssql extension. When I uncomment the line in php.ini, PHP crashes. My system: Windows 2000 IIS 5.0 PHP Version 5.1.2-dev What I have tried: I've placed the ntwdblib.dll that came with php into the winnt/system32/ directory. Nothing. I've placed the ntwdblib.dll that is running on my mssql machine into winnt/system32/ directory on the php machine. Nothing. I've copied the php_mssql.dll into the winnt/system32/ directory on the php machine. Nothing. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
