Unable to Load php_mcrypt.dll

[phpMurtaza]

Hello,Dear fellows
Can anybody tell how to install mcrypt function for encoding and decoding.
I am trying but all in vain.I need it badly to work.

I am getting error."Unable to load dynamic extension php_mcrypt.dll"
I have placed a folder named as extensions in installed php folder and this "php_mcrypt.dll" file is there, i have also placed libmcrypt.dll file to my installed windowsXp folder of F:/windows/system32
I had also uncommented the extension = php_mcrypt.dll in php.ini.
also gave path in php.ini extension_dir = "D:/php/extensions/"

But all in vain.

Plz guide me how to make mcrypt in running mode and how can i install it.
Tell me the step by step guidance.
Thanks in advance.

in your phpinfo() what is the value of extension_dir? make sure it points to wht you stated in the ini file.

also in apache config what is the path you have to PhpIniDir
it should be pointing to d:/php
