Description:
------------
on windows xp running apache 2.2.4, with php 5.2.4.4 (and earlier versions IIRC) if extension_dir is 

extension_dir = "E:\php\ext"
it cannot load any modules located therein, this is also true for ./ and other relative paths. However

extension_dir = E:\php\ext

works fine, and similarly with all other circumstances.

this occurred with php_mysql, php_mysqli, php_mbstring, and any other module I installed.

What SAPI are you using? (I can't reproduce this..)

php5apache2_2.dll

And you're saying that when you include double slashes (") around the path it doesn't work? I find that hard to believe since it doesn't really matter if you have them or not as long as your path doesn't contain spaces..

Meh, just thought i'd pass it along. I used the zip package of the win32 build for this version, and on apache 2.2 i encountered a problem with ANY directory including the PWD until I removed any quotes, then apache magically understood where it all went.

So not even "./" works? Can you check with CLI? I tried this and it works fine:

php.ini:

extension_dir = "./ext"
extension = php_pdo.dll

I just unpacked the zip and run the php.exe in the same dir with the php.ini in the same dir:

php -m

And it lists PDO, no errors.

Hmm, it has been suggested to me that the issue might have been with the editor used to edit the *.ini (notepad++); I did the CLI just for kicks, and it works good too. Sorry for wasting time, disregard as bogus I suppose.

As requested. (I used notepad btw. :)
