Edgard, I resolved the "Unable to load dynamic library" problem but am encountering an HTTP 404 File not found condition. I guess you just deal with one error at a time. There is definitely a PHP documentation problem which I just submitted in the form of a bug report.
In any case, the PHP manual states: The default location PHP searches for extensions is c:\php4\extensions in PHP 4 and c:\php5 in PHP 5. Under Installation of extensions on Windows it states: · You will need to change the extension_dir setting to point to the directory where your extensions lives, or where you have placed your php_*.dll files. Please do not forget the last backslash. For example: extension_dir = c:/php/extensions/ However, under Microsoft IIS / PWS General considerations for all installations of PHP with IIS it states: · Be sure the extension_dir and doc_root PHP directives are appropriately set in php.ini. These directives depend on the system that PHP is being installed on. In PHP 4, the extension_dir is extensions while with PHP 5 it's ext. So, an example PHP 5 extensions_dir value is "c:\php\ext" and an example IIS doc_root value is "c:\Inetpub\wwwroot". Under MySql Functions Installation on Windows Systems it states: As with enabling any PHP extension (such as php_mysql.dll), the PHP directive extension_dir should be set to the directory where the PHP extensions are located. An example extension_dir value for PHP 5 is c:\php\ext If you're wondering, what is difference between the last 2 examples, the last one is not enclosed in quotes. Essentially, the default for extension_dir is not working for you so you should change it. The question is to what?
