PHP Installation - no isapi dll's on the download

Hello

I am trying to install the latest version of php on windows as an isapi module. The instructions refer to a file called php5isapi.dll in the sapi directory. I do not have this file. I have php5isapi.c, php5isapi.def and php5isapi.dsp.

Please can you advise what to do. I obtained the latest download from the www.php.net

Thanks very much for your help

Hello

I am still having trouble. I seem to have php installed but now I can't install an extension.

I have tried two ways:

1.

ini. file

enable_dl = on
extension dir = "c:\php\ext"
;extension=php_mapscript_44.dll - the extension is commented out

Code...

dl('php_mapscript_44.dll');

Error...Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Not supported in multithreaded Web servers - use extension=php_mapscript_44.dll in your php.ini in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\php\test.php on line 5

Method 2

ini. file

enable_dl = off
extension dir = "c:\php\ext"
extension=php_mapscript_44.dll

Code

Tried to access one of the functions in the extension directly
$map = ms_newMapObj("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\maps\country.map");

Error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function ms_newMapObj() in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\php\test.php on line 6

Please can you help
Thanks very much

By the way my php is installed as a module on IIS and i have restarted IIS everytime i change the ini file

I have now found out that the extension i was trying to use needs php installed as a cgi not as a module so i have changed that.

My ini file now has the settings

;enable_dl = on
extension dir = "c:\php\ext"
extension=php_mapscript_44.dll

When i load the page I get a windows dialogue box saying Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\php\ext\php_mapscript_44.dll' the specified module cannot be found. It is definitely there as I have checked!!

Thanks very much for your help
