I was also having the same issue on WinXP loading the php_mssql.dll and
placing ntwdblib.dll in my extension_dir as well as my %SYSTEMROOT%
solved the issue. Thanks for all the help!

I had a similar problem with php_mssql.dll . Turns out the key was to
copy the bundled DLL (ntwdblib.dll) to my extension_dir as well as my
%SYSTEMROOT%, and i no longer got those notices. I expect that if I
have to load any additional extensions that have bundled DLLs, i'll
need to copy them all over god's green earth as well.
As for the "RTFM" folks, I can see this being properly reported as a
bug, because the error description should indicate that it's missing a
necessary bundled DLL - not just say "unable to load library". I mean,
honestly, the function that claims it's failing is called Unknown(), how
much more bug-like can you get? How about CTFM, Clarify the Fing
Messages?

Read the FM and several other postings and it still didn't work - no
matter what is in PHP.ini. Finally found that if you put php_mssql.dll
in winnt\system32 it works fine.
Lucky there's a few people who aren't condescending out there.

>From www.php.net/install.windows:
Some of these extensions need extra DLLs to work. Couple of them can be
found in the distribution package [...]
Copy the bundled DLLs from 'DLLs' folder to your Windows PATH [...]
>From www.php.net/xslt:
Note to Win32 Users: In order to enable this module on a Windows
environment, you must copy sablot.dll from the DLL folder of the
PHP/Win32 binary package to the SYSTEM32 folder of your windows
machine.
So - RTFM...

I'm having the same exact problems except w/ php_domxml.dll,
php_xslt.dll, and php_xmlrpc.dll.
In fact, I'm testing this on two separate computers each w/ Win XP Pro
and each w/ the exact same installation, IIS, and directory settings.
It works perfectly on one and not at all on the other, and I've spent
DAYS researching this error.
Replying "RTFM" isn't very helpful.
What would be helpful is explaining why this error is happening,
because, as far as I can tell, it's a bug in the windows version of
PHP, not a user config error.

If you have any trouble sounding condescending, find a Unix user to
show you how it's done.
