.dll files

x4nthik

Im sure this is a REALLY common problem, but I am trying to make use of the extensions that PHP will support (mainly the gd and M$ SQL libraries). I have placed the .dll file in all sorts of different places and have also tried different combinations of the paths, but it still ain't workin!

To get the .dll file, I simpley downloaded the file from a site. Was this the right thing to do? Should I have compliled some source code to get the .dll file out? Are there any other download sites where I can find up to date copies of the aforementioned .dll files?

Any help will be gratefully received.

Greetings. I did a standard install (e.g. let everything decide for itself where it wanted to go), and I have the following in my C:\WINDOWS\php.ini file (note that I had to set the extention_dir by hand, and that the following two lines are in different places in php.ini, but that the php_gd.dll line is already there, it's just commented out, along with all the other extension lines, unless you've uncommented them):

extension_dir = c:\php\extensions

extension=php_gd.dll

Note that the php_gd.dll, at least, comes with the Win32 binary install (or, at least, it came with mine 🙂 - check out

http://www.php.net/do_download.php?download_file=php-4.2.1-Win32.zip

(all one line) - you may/should be able to grovel through here for the .dll or .dlls you need/want, if you don't have them or can't get them any other way.

Good luck,

Does anyone know where I can get hold of any .dll files (especially the M$ SQL one)?
