extension_dir bug in PHP 5.0.3?

[James]

I figured I would drop this out here for comment and general info. PHP
5.0.3 on Windows 2000 SP4 / IIS running as ISAPI. You cannot seem to
change the "extension_dir" value via the php.ini file (and yes I have
only one). No matter what value I give it (c:\php\ext) phpinfo()
always returns c:\php5 as the extensions dir.

Frustrating.

That's the compiled in default. If you're getting that, you've not got php.ini
in the right place or it's not accessible.

I've just started up IIS with 5.0.3 and it's picked up extension_dir fine.

Thanks Andy --

I had to grant permissions on the IIS_USR to read the file in c:\winnt.
After that all went well -- despite the php docs PHP didnt pick up the
registry entry that would allow me to specify where the ini file lived.
It was quite a suprise to see php functioning without the ini file ....
