With PHP 5.5.6 VC11 x64 Non Thread Safe: I unpacked the distribution on my machine, keeping the default file structure but also installing a PECL extension in \ext. Running from the CLI, everything seems to be working. However, phpinfo() indicates that the intl and mbstring extensions are not loaded. Also, "php -i" says they are not loaded but "php -m" says that they are. I tested functions from both extensions and they are working. Looking online, it seems this problem has existed for several years. People look at phpinfo() and think that mbstring and intl aren't loaded. The Linux distribution doesn't display this problem. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Faster than the air-speed velocity of an unladen european swallow -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
