>The problem is PHP 5.2.1 is looking to use php4ts.dll Not PHP, but your system. Look for php4ts.dll in your system, I heard of some HP tools that install PHP4 (so it may be present even if you didn't install it yourself). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-21 13:44:40] connie dot beckett at bowaterbuildingproducts dot c PHP IS installed properly, it runs PHP scripts Installation was done on a clean machine, no previous versions of PHP ever installed All third party libraries were installed. The problem is PHP 5.2.1 is looking to use php4ts.dll which is a dll file which ships with PHP4, it does NOT ship with PHP5. Why does PHP5 try and access php4ts.dll? How can that not be a PHP bug? Sorry but I am getting very frustrated with the PHP5 installation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-21 12:57:06] [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Why is this not classified as a bug?

Some of the extensions won't load and that's expected, since they require third-party libraries which are missing on your system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-21 12:38:15] connie dot beckett at bowaterbuildingproducts dot c Why is this not classified as a bug?

I am using the isapi version. Basic installation works fine, php is running. But then tried to add in extensions, none of the extensions showed up in phpinfo(). So then I tried running php from the command line. when I do this I get a pop-up error message that says "This application has failed to start because php4ts.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem". After clicking ok on the error message window I then get an error message in the cmd window eg PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\php\php_gd2.dll' - The specified module could not be found. in Unknown on line 0 This error message pops up for each extension that is trying to be loaded. All the .dll files are in the correct location ie c:\php\ I did think that maybe our previous installation of PHP4 had left something behind so I did a fresh installation of version 5 on a XP machine that has never had PHP installed and also didn't even have IIS installed. Again basic installation works fine but I cannot get the extensions to load and running from command line produces the same errors as the windows 2003 server installation. If I comment out the extensions using ; then running from the command line does not produce any errors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40577&edit=1
