Thanks for the help and information. I did have the extension_dir properly set in the php.ini file. And I was restarting the service with every change I made. What I finally did, that appeared to help was: I added 'full/path/to/php' to my environment PATH variable and then rebooted the system. As ALWAYS, with microsoft.... If it doesn't work.... BOOT, BOOT, AND REBOOT!!!!! I began by following Gerardo's recomendation and copied the dll's to the windows directory, and it started working. But that tends to create version problems when applying updates, so I updated the PATH and backed them out of the system dir and all seems to be working now. Thanks again for all the help!!!
