xlst setup problem

[Sillysoft]

I wanted to dive into xml and xslt so I read some instructions that for windows all you need to do is enable the php_xlst dll file in the ini file. So I did that and then did a phpinfo() and got an error stating the module could not be found in the directory I specified in the ini file. Which was d:\php\extensions

So I went to that directory and there it was, the dll file was there. So I tried rebooting the system and still same issue. Tried the installation instructions from an article posted here at sitepoint. Still same issue. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hmm - I got it working on Windows by setting up everything manually (installing Expat and Sablotron and putting the corresponding DLLs in the Windows/System dir).

Me too No problems at all. It shouldn't really matter, but what version of PHP have you got?

Anything less than 4.2.x I think you need an upgrade mate

4.3. So your saying to install expat and salbotron manually and put the dll files in the win32 directory?

The trick is to put the files found in the 'dll' subdirectory on the PHP directory into windows\system32 (or I belive if you add the directory they're currently in to your systems "path" variable and reboot it will do the same). This will make sablotron and expat available (along with other stuff for required for other extensions)

The files in the 'extensions' subdiretory can then stay put, assuming that your php.ini contains the path to this directory.

Sweetness! Thanks everyone for the input! Harry, at no surprise, you were right again
