[Michael Bradley-Robbins]

How do I set up the extension_dir in windows to point to "c:\php\ext "? I've
tried almost everything.

extension_dir=" c:\php\ext"

... in the php.ini that PHP is reading.

Open php.ini and write

extension_dir = c:/php/ext/

Save.

I did that, and now, when I start apache, it gives an error message saying:
"PHP startup: unable to load dinamic binary 'c:/php/ext\php_mysqli. dll' -
the specified procedure could not be found" Now what do I do?

It seems, that php_mysqli.dll is missing something. Where is the
libmysql.dll located?

What does it _actually_ say? "dinamic binary" doesn't make sense. Did it
actually say "dynamic library"?

If so, you don't have the directory containing libmysqli.dll (PHP 5.0.2 and
earlier) or libmysql.dll (PHP 5.0.3) on your PATH environment variable, since
the mysqli PHP extension needs a mysqli client library to work. Change PATH to
include c:\php - as the PHP 5 zip distribution comes with the required DLL.

Then C:\php might not be in the systems search path for executables.
Either add C:\php to the PATH or copy libmysql.dll to the System32
directory.

Re: setting up extension_dir

That worked. I guess there's something wrong with my PATH. Thanks a million.
