Description:
------------
The variable extension_dir is set to "./", it must be "./extensions" for Windows users. Please state this in the php.ini file, and in the manual... and make it default when installing the Windows exe??

When set to ./ and you enable gd2 (probably anything), and try to load a php page, it justs loads forever.

Thanks for fixing this!

You can unzip extensions wherever you want. It's in extensions/ directory just in distribution archive. It's stated also in install.txt.

So you don't agree that it would be HELPFUL if the windows installation actually worked without the need to edit the php.ini file?

EVERY Windows user is going to have to make this php.ini modification if they want to use more extensions.

If this will have consequences I don't know of, atleast add a comment in the php.ini-dist file! Thanks.

It's described in install.txt. If someone installs without reading install.txt, he probably knows what is he doing.

Setting it to ./extensions might not work for all installation methods. The current directory is not guaranteed to be the PHP.exe folder on all servers and all methods (ISAPI, CGI, FastCGI, NSAPI, etc.). Best practice is to provide a full path in there, which is dependant on your local machine, so it cannot be provided as a default...
