This is the same issue as I had with 2.3.1_alfa. I am
running a totally up to date WinXP Pro. As my
installation was coming to an end (configuring Apache):
it give the following warning box:

unknown(): unable to load dynamic library 'c:Program
Files\PHP Home Edition
2\Apache2\php\extensions\php*.dll' - the specified
module could not be found.

'*' represents the fact that several modules starting
with php_ were giving this message.

The obvious problem is that this path 'c:\Program
Files\...' is inaccurate since I did not install the
application there.

The dll files are in the directory I have the
application installed into.

Z.S.

    The report I filed above is in reference to 2.3.1alfa AND 2.3.2.

    I installed the application into a directory OTHER THAN the
    default. That is why it gives trouble.

    It has been a while now but I think that I fixed the
    httpd.conf found in:
    PHP Home Edition 2\Apache2\conf
    After that everything worked fine.
    This may not work for everyone else.

    Z.S.

    (If you installed phphome, remove the entire app (don't
    worry - all MySQL tables will be kept after the uninstall -
    you'll have to remove them manually).

    Once you download the FULL install-zip-file
    (phphome_full_2.3.2.zip), extract it to any folder. Two
    things have to be done:

    In that folder open the php.ini file and change the following:

    1.) include_path=".;C:\Program Files\PHP Home Edition
    2\Apache2\php\";
    Change the above directory path (c:\Program Files\...) to
    the directory you are installing it really into. For example,
    include_path=".;E:\PHP Home Edition 2\Apache\php\";
    2.) next line needs also a change:
    extension_dir=c:\Program Files\PHP Home Edition
    2\Apache2\php\extensions
    Change it to
    extension_dir=E:\PHP Home Edition 2\Apache2\php\extensions
    (assuming that is where you are installing it into).

    After changing the php.ini file start the installation
    process. Now the installation should not complain about
    missing library dll's and other stuff.

    This is only a temporary solution. I will post a suggestion
    to improve this as a FEATURE REQUEST.
