Thank you for your reply... I had seen only php_iisfunc.dll very quickly from my googling, but no info on it. Now that I realise what it is, it will save me quite a bit of trouble (and I'll get by, I hope, on the method declarations/source). Thank you for developing the extension and more for letting me know about it. Happily, A quick test (<?php echo( iis_stopservice('w3svc') ); ?>) under php 4.3.4 worked very well. Unfortunatly, under php5 (upon startup) I get the message "The procedure entry point zend_hash_index_update_or_next_insert could not be located in the dynamic link library php4ts.dll" (which then gives the message that php_iisfunct.dll could not be loaded). The server has the same configuration for both php4 and php5, php4ts.dll in c:\winnt is php5's (beta3 version). For both versions, I use php from the command line. Is there something I'm missing out on? Thanks in advance, Andrew > > There is an extension in PECL (iisfunc) that hnadles this directly.
