PHP Extension Question

[tdevlin]

OS Platform/Applications:
---------------------------
Windows 2000 Server
IIS 5.0
PHP 4.3.2
MYSQL 3.23.x

Question:
-------------
I wish to add the ability for PDF, GD, and MSSQL . I realize I need to enable them in the php.ini file and copy the /extensions/php_(file) to the winnt/system32 folder, but I need to know if this is all I have to do, and if this is exactly what I have to do?

------------------------------------
As always all help is greatly appreciated

Thank you,
Tony Devlin

For GD and MSSQL uncommenting the lines in the php.ini file is all that is needed (provided that you installed using the zip file and not the exe installation). As for the PDF functions you need to read the manual to find what third party programs are needed to be able to create pdf files. Also, if you would like to make your life easier simply put the php directory in your path, then you don't have to copy/delete files from the Windows directory everytime you upgrade PHP.
