Apache reading the wrong php.ini...

[kemito]

Or rather, a non-existent php.ini. Please help if you can...

Here's my problem. I just installed a fresh copy of Apache 1.3.29, and I'm trying to get PHP 4.3.4 to run with it (I'm running WinXP). Apache is running fine, and so is the basic PHP functionality - the thing is, I can't get any of the PHP extensions to load (like the GD images one).
When I run php_info(), it says that the extensions directory is c:\php4, which is wrong. I have no directory called php4, and any changes I make to the php.ini file (placed in my system32 folder) are not reflected in php_info(). The php.ini I just placed in my system32 folder is the only one there.

A couple of months ago I tried installing apache and php locally, but just erased it all after a day or two - I'm pretty sure I erased all of the .ini files and other settings as well, but it seems that the setting of c:/php4 as the extension directory is a holdover from back then.

Why would apache not be parsing the php.ini in my system32 folder?

Thanks!

Copy your php.ini file to your %WINNT% directory. C:\Windows or c:\WinNT that you have installed your windows

TRUE!!

Thanks Sylow! ^_^ That got it.

Now, why would it behave like that, if every piece of documentation says to drop it in the system32 folder?
