No wonder it's not working, because the RLIB.DLL
I sent you is _not_ a PHP DLL. It's only the reporting engine,
not the PHP binding. I only needed it for my C program.
If you want to have it working under PHP/Win32,
you'll have to compile your own with having the PHP
development (C headers, etc.) environment installed in
the MinGW system.

Actually, there might be a problem with compiling it
on Windows. The resulting PHP object under bindings/php
will also be names RLIB.DLL. I don't know whether the
Windows dynamic runtime linker allows a DLL to link to
another DLL that has the same name.  The PHP object is
names rlib.so under POSIX systems but it's allowed,
the linker easily handles the kind of dependency that
comes from PHP -> extension/rlib.so -> /usr/lib/rlib.so.

Bob, it would be better to name the bindings something else
than just rlib.so or rlib.dll to avoid such conflicts - it's not yet
carved in stone as rlib-1.3.8 is still a development version, right?
Upgrading from 1.2.x to 2.0 will require script and API/ABI
changes in apps already. Changing it during 2.x would be
much harder as API/ABI stability is a must there.

I don't remember which version of Windows I used
to compile it, maybe it was Win2000 or XP SP1.
Note the dates below.

$ ls -l libr*.dll
