You're completely correct. On Win 2k for PHP 4 * Start | Settings | Control Panel | System * Advanced tab * Environment Variables button * System Variable pane * Find the Path entry (you may need to scroll to find it) * Double click on the Path entry * Add the following value where you feel is appropriate: ";c:\php;c:\php\dlls" Adjust path to the PHP dir as needed. If it's in the "Program Files" directory use "progra~1" instead of "Program Files". * Click OK [It's also handy to have PHPRC set too...] * Click New * Enter "PHPRC" and the path to the PHP dir, just like above. * Click the various OK buttons until you're done. > Also we should not suggest moving the php.ini to the windows dir, should > we? php.ini should stay in the php.exe folder Correct. > (or where else if you install it as some SAPI handler?).
