Bring back the dll directory so we can see which ones need to be put
into system32
ok it might all run from the one directory but as a sysadmin running it
form that one directory involves changes to enviromental variables etc
to get php5 working properly
and please update your documentation to reflect any changes!!! the
installation docs are far from easy to read

There is no dlls/ directory - the dlls in the root directory of php
work, but without copying them to system32 during an upgrade, many
problems arise.

I found another on line 181 of INSTALL.
"Since PHP 4.0.5 MySQL, ODBC, FTP...and XML support is built-in."
This is not true. I was told by a friend, "MySQL is not loaded because
of licensing problems"
Will you be patching the whole chapter "Installation of Windows
extensions" on the INSTALL?

I don't have karma to update the INSTALL file, but I'll make a patch
for it and I'll update this in the migration appendix.

That's correct; we moved them to avoid the need to put anything outside
of you PHP install dir, as that causes people many problems when they
upgrade (they always forget to check their system dir).
Making this a documentation problem.

I'm not an official bugs administrator but I might know the answer.
I think they moved the files in the dlls directory into the main
directory. (Where php.exe is) As far as I know, with PHP5, you don't
need to copy/move any files to your windows and system32 directories
anymore. Just extract the zipfile into a directory. Edit php.ini.
Create the mappings in IIS. (.php > C:\your-installation-dir\php.exe).
Restart IIS. And it should work.
Also, make sure that you remove any php files from your windows and
system32 directory from previous PHP installations.
