Try c:/php/ext/
Btw: Are you sure, the .ini is in the appropiate directory for your HTTPd?

Hi,

One more thing:
Some pre-configured Windows-installers are really bad.
I saw a few of them that installed PHP just fine, so it seems, untill you
want to add new extension. That just won't work.

If Simons advice (which also makes perfect sense :P) doesn't help, intall
PHP as described on their site/readme.

Re: PHP can't find image extension

I changed the "C:\PHP\ext " to "C:\PHP\ext \" ...no change. Also changed the
"\" to "/"; no change. I have my php.ini in C:\PHP and I "assume" that it
is being found because I have a script that executes the "phpinfo()"
function and that seems to display O.K.

Whoa!!!! I just ran the script with the phpinfo() and it's showing
"C:\php5" as being the directory for the extensions! I have added "C:\PHP"
to my PATH environmental variable, and have added an env. variable named
PHPRC=C:\PHP\ex t . php.exe in in the directory C:\PHP so obviously they are
finding it. So, what do I have to do to get them to find my php.ini. BTW,
to my knowledge there are NO other php.ini's in this system (including the
WINDOWS directory).

Re: PHP can't find image extension

Thanks, Erwin,

I didn't use the installer, as others have suggested, so I don't think that
is my problem. Take a look at my latest reply.

Re: PHP can't find image extension

I got it to work. I did two things...which is not too cool...but I copied
the php.ini to my WINDOW directory AND it restarted IIS. I have a feeling
that I needed to restart IIS to get php to reread the php.ini file.

??????????????? ???

TIA,

Larry

PHP even runs without any php.ini - it just assumes default values.

Then you should try to copy the php.ini to \windows or \windows\system (32).
For Apache2, the php.ini has to be located in Apaches root directory (the
main binary is bin\apache.exe from there), but I don't know, where IIS
wants its php.ini.

HTH,
Simon
