When I start my Apache 2.0.55 server on Windows XP, it shows this error message:

*******************
Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/php/extensions/php_iconv.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found.
*******************

I already made a copy of the php_iconv.dll (named iconv.dll) inside my PATH environment variable / system directories (recommendation from [php.net...]

Why is this still happening?

Which version of PHP are you running? iconv is bundled with PHP5, so if it is PHP5 you don't need to do all this.

I'm using PHP 4.4.0 (must use this version).
Any ideas?

Problem solved!
If anyone has the same problem just follow this steps:

1) Copy your php/dll/iconv.dll to one of your %PATH% paths. I pasted it inside the C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory.

2) Uncomment the extension=php_iconv.dll extension in the php.ini

Ready to go.
