Hello Petar, it already works this way. But beware of using different versions of PHP: you have to keep apart the Dll's too, because the interface description of e.g. php4ts.dll changes from time to time. So clean up %WINDIR%, %WINSYSDIR% etc of any PHP stuff and put your basic dlls in the same folder as PHP.EXE. And keep a perfect track of the correct "extension_dir" for every PHP version. Otherwise very very strange things happen because Windows jumps into the DLLs right through the wall. Its not like the new registered versioned COM stuff of M$. -- Sven
