Restarting Windows is not mentioned in the Windows documentation (install.txt). I'm aware it's mentioned in the instalation FAQ, but I think it should be included in the main documentation, because the FAQ is not included in the php-5.0.5-Win32.zip file, and is only available online.

I'm using Apache 2.0.55 running as a service, php 5.0.5 installed as a module, and the mysql module refused to load until reboot, because it didn't find libmysql.dll. However, the error popup said "unable to load dynamic library php_mysql.dll", so I lost about an hour making various changes the "extension_dir = " option.

In the last 4 years, I probably installed PHP on windows/apache 10 times. Each time, I followed the documentation to the letter, and ran into this issue. Each time it didn't work, and I had to copy all the dll files to system32 to make it work.

This is highly annoying, because there are two points where you can get stuck:

   1. Determine the real DLL that cannot be found;

   2. Determine why it can't be found;

   Even if you read the installation FAQ, it's not obivious what the problem is, because the section "14. How do I add my PHP directory to the PATH on Windows?" seems unrelated to the problem. The users will think "I did set my PATH, why would I need to read that section of the FAQ"?

   My problem is very similar to #32625, but that bug is marked as closed, and I do not agree to that resolution.
