[PHP] Re: Missing DLLs

 So, that error message about a missing DLL, when it's really a sub DLL

 Or is that just Windows being stupid?
 
 Mr. Spock has calculated that a quick hack change to that error message to
 be more specific would save approximately 3,141.59 man-hours per week...

 I'm happy to put it in bugs.php.net as a feature request, if it's actually
 IN php, but don't want to waste the resources to mark it as junk if
 there's no way PHP could do that.
 
 Richard someday I'll re-learn C and download PHP source and start
 hacking Lynch

IIRC there is a little windows app called dependcywalker which you can point
at an application and it will tell you what libraries are required to run
that application. Google will find it for you.

Holy crap! This program is awesome!

Just went and downloaded it at your suggestion, and I am *VERY* pleased
with it just in the first couple minutes I've been playing with it.
Sweet program, and should save me some headaches when I go to install
new software!
