You can read more here: http://docs.php.net/en/configuration.html#configuration.file In addition to setting the directives in the php.ini file for your extensions folder, I'd also add it to your Windows Path. You can do that by: Right-click My Computer Choose properties Advanced tab Click the Environment Variables button Under System variables, edit the Path At the end of the path line, add a semi-colon (if there isn't one) Then type in the full path to your extensions folder i.e. C:\PHP\ext Click, Ok, then Ok, then Ok. Restart your webserver, run phpinfo() and make sure that the ini path is the one you specified. Just FYI, you might add the main php folder to your path as well because some of the .dlls you want might be in that folder libeay32.dll for instance. -- TBUDL/BETA/DEV/TECH Lists Moderator / PGP 0x6C0AB16B __ ____ ____ ____ Geocaching: http://gps.PCWize.com ( ) ( ___)(_ _)( ___) TBUDP Wiki Site: http://www.PCWize.com/thebat/tbudp )(__ )__) _)(_ )__) Roguemoticons & Smileys: http://PCWize.com/thebat (____)(____)(____)(__) PHP Tutorials and snippets: http://www.DevTek.org What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?
