PHP Extension problem

I tried to search for a solution to this, but I couldn't find one.
Maybe I didn't look in the right place, but whatever....

Here is the problem - I have an extension "Myextensio n" created using
SWIG from C++ code. I put this in my c:\php5\ext directory and pointed
php.ini to load extensions from that directory. This is fine.

However this extension depends upon some other custom DLLs I have
coded in C++. The only way that the original extension loads is if
these custom DLLs are in the C:\Windows\Syst em32 folder. This is not
an ideal solution for distribution however.

So I've tried changing my System Path to include a custom directory
where these DLLs can be stored. That doesn't work. PHP has to know
where to find these DLLs that the extension depends on. I just don't
know how to give it that information. Am I missing something in
php.ini?

Any help appreciated, thanks...

Adding to PATH /is/ the correct way. Is your webserver seeing the environment
you expect? e.g. check it in phpinfo().

I had tried adding it to my path, but it didn't work. Then I realized
I needed to reboot after making my change, so that PHP would recognize
the new path! Silly of me!

Thanks Andy

Hello, Three weeks ago, I have started to develop a binding extension for Qt and PHP 5. Now, I can display a dialog box containing some widgets like label, buttons and edit line. I have just implemented some Qt classes (not completly) like QApplication, QObject, QWidget, Qlabel, QLineEdit and QGrid just to test some very simple application. The mecanisme of the SLOT and SIGNAL is working but only for the existing slot and signal.

Hello, I have already read several existing posts about xsd:extension, but do not find something useful to my test case. I have one xml file and one xsd file. I can use a simple command line (C#) program to validate the xml file against the xsd file without any error. The problem is that when I validate the same xml file within VisualStudio 2003, I got five errors, which are all related to xsd:extension. It seems that those "problem"...

I'm having a weird problem. I can't seem to force php to load an extension using php.ini, but it loads perfectly if I use dl() at the beginning of a test script. In php.ini I've got: extension_dir = "/correct/verified/path/to/extension/dir/" extension=imagick.so Apache will not restart if both those lines are present in php.ini
