Virtual Library Missing?

PHP virtual library of extensions does not exist in PHP 5

[justgowithit]

I am trying to install PHP5, MySQL, and PHPMyADMIN on my local machine. I've done this many times before with previous versions of PHP. I am aware that MySQL is not supported by default in PHP5+ but I cannot get it configured because the virtual library does not exist.

Everything installed without a problem, but when editing the PHP.ini file to point the the extension_dir the /ext folder does not exist (C:/PHP/ext/). I can't find the dll files anywhere on the machine.

I've run phpinfo() and the system insists that /ext exists, but it doesn't.

I've installed and unistalled PHP5 three times.. no go.

What's the problem here - anyone?

Which version of PHP5 did you download, the Windows Installer? That would certainly explain why you cannot find them.

The installer does not include any extra external PHP extensions (php_*.dll) as you'll only find those in the Windows Zip Package and PECL downloads.

I would go back and download PHP5 again. Be certain that you grab the manual installation package.
