Thanks for your quick and informative response....

The manual described the function "int dl ( string $library )" to load a PHP extension at runtime.

But, I faced the following problem in doing so....

"
Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Not supported in multithreaded Web servers - use extension=<dll filename>l in your php.ini in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\h tdocs\test_dll. php on line 15

Warning: dl() [<function.dl>]: Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) '<dll filename>' in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\h tdocs\test_dll. php on line 15
"

Please share your thoughts about this problem.

Rgds,
Accgir

Note: dl() is not supported in multithreaded Web servers. Use the extensions statement in your php.ini when operating under such an environment. However, the CGI and CLI build are not affected !

You need to copy the dll in the extension directory of your PHP and then enter and modify your php.ini file.

you should serch there for "extension" and find the proper directory and then add your extenstion. also in php.ini you should add your dll name in the extension area.

The php.ini file has a lot of comment and it is easy to modify it. After you set your extension you need to restart you apache server.
