; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = C:\php\extensions

change \ to /

Nah, that didn't help. I've tried 100 different ways to hit the correct file...I think there's something else to the issue.

Thanks.

I've been having the exact same trouble on Win XP. Tried all kinds of combinations. Put the extensions on the c drive then the d drive. Slashes backwards and forwards. Nothing works.

I'm able load extensions fine on my Win98 system, but not on XP.

After working with this problem a while on Win XP I finally triumphed:

Edit your \WINDOWS\php.ini file and do this:

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
; extension_dir = ./
extension_dir = "C:\Program Files\PHP\extensions"

Also for a nice encryption extension php_mcrypt.dll go here:

Try this:

Copy "ntwdblib.dll" from your c:\php\lib (4.1.x) or c:\php\dlls (ver 4.2.0)

to C:\WINDOWS\System32 (WinXP)or C:\WINNT\System32

Restart your IIS or Apache. I tried this on WinXP, it works.

Verify if protection properties of extensions directory are set for your:
-Internet Guest Account
or
-Everyone Account
are set to for read and execution rights.

Hi Mark / Other

Did you manage to sort out your prob? I am having the same problem. Tried copying dlls to system32, checked rights, tried slashes, tried caps/lower case.

Environment: IIS 5.x, PHP 4.2.2, MS XP Prof.

There is no problems if you install PHP 4.0.6

Any help will be appreciated.

"Unable to load dynamic library"

If you have this error, you have two solutions for this problem:

1) Copy all dll's from the php extensions directory (eg. c:\php\extensions) and set the extension_dir = ./ in your php.ini, or

2) In the php.ini set extension_dir = relative path from the php.ini (eg. c:\winnt) to the php extensions directory (eg. c:\php\extensions).
Example: extension_dir = ./../php/extensions

And now activate your extensions in the php.ini
Try php -m in line of commands, to verify if extensions are ok :-))

Notes:

The extension_dir path is like Unix path's (replace all \ to /)
In extension_dir, you simplest need the relative path from php.ini to php extensions
