I am running the latest version of Apache webserver on Windows 2k. When I try to use the DOM XML module, i get one of two errors (the first is the error i got with the version included with the PHP binary; the second is from a version I downloaded from around the net):

1) Unable to load dynamic library './extensions/php_domxml.dll' - Cannot find specified module.

2) Unable to load dynamic library './extensions/php_domxml.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found.

I have enabled the Sabltron module, and it works splendidly. I don't know why this one won't. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

~Tom~

Solution: Copy the support dlls from the package's dlls/ folder to somewhere where they can be found..eg. 

c:\windows\system\


To docu-team:
--------------
Both install.txt in the distribution and this page on manual
don't say ANYTHING about this. 

http://www.php.net/manual/en/install-windows.php#install.windows.extensions

I saw someone claiming that this has been fixed..but I 
couldn't find the note anywhere. e.g the FAQ is 
incomprehensible at the moment.

Extract from this page, but not from this bookmark
(a bit upper) [is this not enough?]: 

-----------------------------------------------------
The best bet to do it is to copy the files
below into your system directory, which is typically: 

c:\windows\system for Windows 95/98 
c:\winnt\system32 for Windows NT/2000 

The files to copy are: 

 'php4ts.dll', if it already exists there, overwrite it  

 The files in your distribution's 'dlls' directory. If
 you have them already installed on your system,
 overwrite them only if something doesn't work
 correctly (Before overwriting them, it is a good
 idea to make a back-up).

I'd say the remark is misplaced (the part about dlls/). it should go into the section jani linked here.

The online docs should get updated soon. I have committed
some changes to them here:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/install-windows.php#install.windows.extensions

p.s. I will also update the install.txt
