I suspect that the copy in the system folder was being found first. PATH is very badly managed now in windows, it's fine if you only have one copy of a file, but you can not rely on it if old copies exist elsewhere in the PATH. -- Lester Caine - L.S.Caine Electronic Services -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Cannot Load DLLs (WinXP, Apache 2, PHP 5)
I can't get PHP to load php_mysql.dll, required to use the mysql_*() functions. I have tried a variety of values for extension_dir, including C:/php/ext, C:\php\ext, C:\php\, ./ext/, ext/. I have copied php_mysql to all these directories, but it is not loading it. PHP is stored in C:/php, and works perfectly apart from not finding the MySQL dll file. If you could advise me for how to get PHP to load this DLL, I would be very grateful! This was just disussed a few days ago. Copy the libmysql.dll file **that comes with PHP5** into the windows/system32/ directory. New installation instructions exist that recommend never copying any files to the Windows system directory.
