Are the extensions not in c:\php\ext (php 5) or c:\php\extensions (php
4)?? I also make sure the PHP folder and the extensions folder are in my
path statement. Also because of the way windows set environment
variables its sometimes prudent to reboot otherwise the service will not
start.

This is correct if you are working with PHP 5 and have set the
appropriate variable in httpd.conf (assuming you are using apache)

It is best to get one extension working at a time -- disable this and
come back to it.

Why would you want to have both? The instructions in the install.txt
file make both processes really clear.

pages are stateless so the variables die when the page is finished being
processed. This is the same with ASP. Check out session variables.
