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.

Correct.
