PHP needs to know where the extensions are located, and when you make changes to php.ini you have to restart the web server in order for the changes to take place. Under ISAPI the php.ini file is only read during startup and not on each page reqyues as is the case with CGI. Getting php to know where the extensions are located takes the folowing steps. 1) For ISAPI installes place the php.ini file in the windows (or winnt) directory. 2) edit php.ini to include the line extension_dir = 'full/path/to/php' 3) restart the web server For CGI and FastCGI the php.ini file can be placed in the php directory, as each PHP-process is launched from the folder and know the location of the files. - Frank > Frank, > That looks good on paper, but...
