Check your system - it likely has old php_ifx.dll somewhere (c:\windows or c:\windows\system32, probably).
Delete it and make sure PHP uses the new one.

Deleted all instances of php_ifx.dll on the system, copied the file from the distribution .zip into the directory listed as extension_dir in my php.ini file.  Still receiving the same error.

Changed the file name to php_infx.dll and changed php.ini to load extension=php_infx.dll and received the same error message with my new filename in it.

Take a look at http://php.net/ifx page and make sure you have set all required environment variables.
