This may seem a simple problem, but it has caused some people I was supporting several days of heartache.

I asked the person to add

extension=php_mssql70.dll

to PHP.ini. The person added the following line:

 extension=php_mssql70.dll

^^ Note that there is a space preceding the word extension -- might not show up in HTML. The PHP.INI parser fails to do a trim() while parsing, so the extension is not loaded.

i haven't found any spaces in front of these extensions in the php.ini-*
if there have been some, it has been fixed now

The problem wasn't in the distributed php.ini* files but in the
ini-parseing funcs..reopened.

I not see a reason why it is a bug. Moving to feature request.
