Jerry:

I am starting Apache from a console (if that has anything to do w/
it). phpinfo() tells me:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS

There is no php.ini file in the C:\windows path whatsoever.

Also, some other settings:

extension_dir C:\php5 C:\php5 (directory does not exist)
include_path .;C:\php5\pear (already described above)
PHPRC C:\Program Files\PHP\
PHP_PEAR_BIN_DIR C:\Program Files\PHP
PHP_PEAR_DATA_DIR C:\Program Files\PHP\pear\data
PHP_PEAR_DOC_DIR C:\Program Files\PHP\pear\docs
PHP_PEAR_INSTALL_DIR C:\Program Files\PHP\pear
PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN C:\Program Files\PHP\.\php.exe
PHP_PEAR_SYSCONF_DIR C:\Program Files\PHP
PHP_PEAR_TEST_DIR C:\Program Files\PHP\pear\tests

Any help appreciated... Thank you...
