Hi,

For Windows installations, the install.txt features an explication on
which dll's should be copied where, depending on your installation.

This paragraph from install.txt is highly confusing as it talks about
'dlls' but there are 4 groups.
There is the php4ts.dll, the SAPI dll's the /dll/* dll's and the
extension dll's.
Don't use "the dll's" in one text which mixes them all.
I would be nice if this text would be rephrased.

There's also a contradiction in the same text warning/avoiding and
later recommending using SAPI dll's.

"You need to ensure that the dlls which php uses can be found. The
precise dlls involved depend on which web server you use and whether
you want to run php as a cgi or as a server module. php4ts.dll is
always used. If you are using a server module (e.g. isapi or apache)
then you will need the relevent dll from the sapi folder. If you are
using any php extension dlls then you will need those as well. To make
sure that the dlls can be found, you can either copy them to the
system directory (e.g. winnnt/system32 or windows/system) or you can
make sure that they live in the same directory as the main php
executable or dll your web server will use (e.g. php.exe,
php4apache.dll)."
