Have you checked your PATH? If you've installed a previous (i.e. 5.2.x) version of PHP using the MSI installer earlier, then it's possible that the install directory was never removed from your system PATH (the MSI installer doesn't do this automatically as far as I know). It has been my experience that this can lead to problems loading extensions from the correct location, even if you specify the absolute path in php.ini. I would recommend you remove any and all PHP installs from your global system PATH, then add the path to your current 5.3.6 install. If that doesn't work, I would suggest you run Process Monitor to get a closer look at what exactly is happening when this error occurs (it's a free download from Microsoft; just do a Google search for it if you don't already have it). Add an "include" filter by process name for "php.exe", then clear the display (if necessary) and make sure it's capturing events. Then try reproducing your error again. This should tell you what's happening. If you're not sure how to interpret the data, export it to CSV format and upload to a webserver somewhere and post a link here, and I'd be happy to take a look. =) --Kris -----Original Message----- From: Pierre Joye [mailto:pierre.php@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2011 11:33 AM To: Sascha Meyer Cc: Curtis Tammany; php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: PHP Startup: Unable to initialize module On Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 8:27 PM, Sascha Meyer <harlequin2@xxxxxx> wrote: > Could you check which php.ini is loaded via phpinfo()?

For what I see in the error, it is the other way 'round. 5.2 is loaded and trying to load 5.3 extensions. -- Pierre @pierrejoye | http://blog.thepimp.net | http://www.libgd.org -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
