Description:
------------
In Windows XP and Apache 1.3.27, when you try to load a php page, it says PHP could not be loaded because iconv.dll could not be found. This is fixable by moving it to C:\Windows\System32 but I thought I would just let you guys know.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Any PHP Code

Expected result:
----------------
Whatever PHP page I'm trying to load.

Actual result:
--------------
500 - Internal Server Error

If you read install.txt that comes with PHP it would tell you to copy dlls\*.dll to system32 folder.

To edink@php.net:
Very bad suggestion !!!
Do you realy expect ppl to copy all *.dll to the system32 folder when trying to use a beta PHP5 (or other version)? How do you expect Ppl do any testing?  

What I usually did in V4.x is to copy the apache API-dll
     C:/php4/sapi/php4apache.dll to C:/php4/ 
That did the trick so far. 

But in PHP V5 Apache complains it can't load php4apache.dll (even if it's there). I found out that PHP5 requires an additional DLL: the C:/php4/dlls/iconv.dll for some reson.
So I also copy 
    C:/php5/dlls/iconv.dll  to C:/php5/ 
and everything works so far again.
