Hi Make sure that the php.ini file being used is the one you thinkit is. I keep mine in the php directory, so I have to be very careful that I don't accidentally let one get into the Windows folder, becuase that is search first The manual lists the search order. It also has some notes on setting up IIS and where to put the php5isapi.dll so it is found Niel -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
