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.
