This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. Both ways work nowadays. But I've changed all them to '\' (windows style). The default extension_dir for PHP 5 is right (C:\php5). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-12 16:22:11] mikerob818 at cs dot com Description: ------------ In reference to your response to Bug Report #34083 PHP Manual: Errors, Inconsistencies, and Omissions I think I have gone through the PHP manual thoroughly but still can't get PHP5 to work with Personal Web Server 4. This is Part 2 of my bug report and I would appreciate a response. Thanks, Robin ***************************************** Documentation Inconsistencies Installation of extensions on Windows The default location PHP searches for extensions is c:\php4\extensions in PHP 4 and c:\php5 in PHP 5. To change this setting to reflect your setup of PHP edit your php.ini file: · You will need to change the extension_dir setting to point to the directory where your extensions lives, or where you have placed your php_*.dll files. Please do not forget the last backslash. For example: extension_dir = c:/php/extensions/ Microsoft IIS / PWS General considerations for all installations of PHP with IIS · Be sure the extension_dir and doc_root PHP directives are appropriately set in php.ini. These directives depend on the system that PHP is being installed on. In PHP 4, the extension_dir is extensions while with PHP 5 it's ext. So, an example PHP 5 extensions_dir value is "c:\php\ext" and an example IIS doc_root value is "c:\Inetpub\wwwroot". MySql Functions Installation on Windows Systems As with enabling any PHP extension (such as php_mysql.dll), the PHP directive extension_dir should be set to the directory where the PHP extensions are located. An example extension_dir value for PHP 5 is c:\php\ext ******************** The last 2 sets of instructions for extension_dir are different from the first set of instructions. (In fact, all 3 are different in that the last instruction doesn't enclose c:\php\ext in quotes.) In addition, the default location for PHP5 extensions is stated as c:\PHP5 rather than c:\php\ext and there is no explanation for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34099&edit=1
