I am installing it the old fashioned way, manually setting it up.
When I attempt to run a php script I get the following error:
"The application has failed to start because ntwdblib.dll was not found.
Re-installing teh application may fix this problem."
However, looking at another php install that I have, I am unable to track
down where the path is to locate these dlls, found in my c:\php\dlls\
folder.
Any ideas?
Thanks

ntwdblib.dll is used by php_mssql.dll (the MSSQL Extension) and should be
located in \windows\system32. It will only be there if you have installed
the MSSQL Server or at least the client tools for MSSQL Server.
You can copy the file from another box, but you will not be able to
configure options, rotocols or aliases without the client tools
installed.

Hi!

"Jacob,
echo your command and make sure that it is calling shell_exec(); correctly"
Ehm... I'm not sure if I get what you mean, Jon. Could you please explain
this further?

I'm not sure, but I think I do have to run it through bash, because the
program (fontforge) isn't really made for Windows, so it uses Cygwin (some
kind of Linux-like environment) to be able to run on Windows. This is why I
have to (I think) use the Cygwin bash to be able to run it.
I've discovered something curious - the command doesn't not only work when I
run it from the Run-dialog, but also when I run it from the PHP CLI!
However, when I run exactly the same script with the PHP CGI it does NOT
work. How is that possible? I hope you're able to help me, 'cause my poor
brain isn't capable of taking it anymore ;)

Subject: Run a program
Hi!
I'd like to be able to run a program from a php-script. I've tried running
the following command, and it works when I run it from the Run-dialog:
D:\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -i script.sh arg1 arg2
(the shell script runs another program (fontforge) which too runs a script)
However, when I try to run the same command from a php-script nothing
happens. Or rather, bash starts, but it doesn't do what it does when i run
the same command from the Run-dialog. I'm not even sure if I'm using the
right php-command and syntax. Could you please tell me how to do?
I'm on Win XP Home if that matters...
Thanks in advance! /Jacob
