Hi all

I have tried 3 times installing PHP for bulding a PHp application in
Dreamweaver 8. I have followed instructions precisely.
I have a Windows XP Pro system using IIS 5).

Briefly the procedure I followed is as follows:

Downloaded and installed PHP-5.04-Installer. Then downloaded and unzipped
to a temporary folder the file PHP-5.1.1-Win32.zip.

I then copied the folder "ext" from the temporary folder to the C:\PHP
folder.

Then edited the PHP.ini file (in the Windows folder):

Changed extension_dir="./" to extension_dir="C:\PHP\ext\"
De-commented the line ;extension=php_mysql.dll

Saved PHP.ini

Copied file libmysql.dll from the temporary folder to C:\Windows\system32
folder

Finally stopped and restarted IIS

Having done that I find that when I try to run the file "test.php" in my
browser (IE6) I get the following error message:

"PHP Startup: Unable to load the dynamic library C;\PHP\ext\php_mysql.dll -
the specified procedure could not be found."

After closing this error message I get the coreect PHP info file - although
with the same message again! I close this messgae a second time and it all
appears to work OK

Has anyone any ideas on this which also happens if I use the PHP v4 files?

Thanks

Plato
