Description:
------------
This error relates to the line:
extention_dir=c:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\ext in the php.ini file.
I have tried adding a "\" to the end of the line but this has also not worked.

When I encapsulate the path in quotes e.g. "path" - the error message disappears, but when I launch my test file absolutely NOTHING happens. No open IE7. No error message.
I also tried putting my text.php file into the apache\htdocs folder and then open localhost\test.php
Stay offline does nothing.
Connect give a 404 error.

I was wondering whether this may be a problem that is specific to the 64bit version of Windows?

I did try to install to the "old" c:\Program Files folder, but PHP was "forced" into c:\Program Files (x64)

I have had a look at bugs 22776, 39913 and 33983, but still no luck

Have you tried using forward slashes rather than backslashes?

Try:
extention_dir=c:/Program Files (x86)/PHP/ext
And see if it works

Thanks Daniel
Tried that too and its still not working.

It should work fine if it's quoted, which is fixed in CVS. Does a page with just <?php phpinfo(); ?> come up fine indicating the path to the php.ini in it?

Also, what web server are you using? Are you using it in CGI or ISAPI mode? Is that web server 64 or 32 bit?
