Hi

I think the problem is the following:

Until 4.03 or so, php4isapi.dll was in the main php directory. Then it moved
to phpdir/sapi. If you call php4isapi.dll it will only look for dlls in its
own directory and in the system path. So if php4ts.dll resides in the system
path or in the same directory as php4isapi.dll everything will work fine. If
not, php4isapi.dll will not be able to find php4ts.dll and will not work.

So there are three solutions to get php to work with any sapi module:
- add phpdir to the system path
- copy php4ts.dll to somewhere in the existing system path
- copy the needed sapi module to the same directory as php4ts.dll
