From: Sven dot Schnitzke at t-online dot de Operating system: WIN98SE PHP version: 4.3.2 PHP Bug Type: *Extensibility Functions Bug description: PHP 4.3.2 does not find extensions in a folder with spec ..\php\extensions
I just downloaded PHP-4.3.2 final and wanted to install it. (extension dir is specified as ..\php\extensions) I have parallel folders with some versions of PHP4 from 4.0.6 thru 4.3.2-RC and some snapshot 4.4-dev which I arranged to have at hand by just copying PHP.INI to the Apache folder and renaming the PHP folder to be the one supposed to hold the active PHP. No parts of PHP outside these folders except some two PIFS used to start PHP from the command line. This works because the Apache folder and the active PHP folder are parallel in the same tree. All versions I have work well this way including an earlier 4.3.2-RC. Now 4.3.2 final does not! IMHO copying the extensions to the WINSYS folder is not a viable way because a) it clutters WINSYS b) you are unable to quickly go forth (and back in case of trouble) with upgrading PHP Maybe absolute path works but I don't think it is a good idea to have a lot of places where absolute path specs are required. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24075&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24075&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24075&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24075&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24075&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24075&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24075&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24075&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24075&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24075&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24075&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24075&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24075&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24075&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24075&r=gnused
