One of the easiest ways to ensure you're using the php.ini file you
want is to create the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\IniFilePath
I usually stick my php.ini in my php folder because I ensure that I
(my user account) has sufficient rights to modify anything in the php
folder whereas the server admin wouldn't give my user account rights
to modify files in the Windows folder.
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.

What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?
I don't know and I don't care.
