As Phil mentioned above some extensions rely on external
programms/librariers. I checked this (with dependency walker)
for 4.0.5 from php.net, this is the result:
php_curl.dll needs: msvcr70.dll
php_ifx.dll needs: isqlt09a.dll Informix
php_ingres.dll needs: oiapi.dll Ingres
php_oci8.dll needs: oci.dll Oracle
php_openssl.dll needs: msvcr70.dll
php_oracle.dll needs: ociw32.dll Oracle
php_sybase_ct.dll needs: libct.dll, libcs.dll Sybase
All other dll�s dont have unsolved dependencies.
The databases above had to be installed and would provide the required
dll�s (hope so). Stays the question about curl and openssl. In the
manual only *nix related installation is outlined, no words what about
win-realted systems.
fact: openssl and curl don�t work out of the box on windows.
hope this helps
