Hi Walter, fyi - you DON'T HAVE TO put PHP.INI into c:\WINNT, nothing of the like is being compiled anywhere. Where your systems searches for PHP.INI depends on the mode PHP is run, because it always is first searched for in the folder containing the _processes_ .EXE file: In CGI/EXE mode that is the folder PHP.EXE is residing in, but in ISAPI/module mode this is the folder containing the web server (Apache, IIS, PWS, what ever). Next it is searched for in %WINDIR% (of whatever name, C.\WINDOWS, D:\WINNT, ...), last in c:\PHP4 (this REALLY is hard coded). -- Sven
