Description:

Hi,

I am having a hard time getting PHP to read the phi.ini file which
I want to enable MySQL extensions with. If I run phpinfo(), I see it
is lookong in C:\WINDOWS for the file but there is no loaded file.
Copying the php.ini file to C:\WINDOWS does not help.

OK:

PHP installed to:

1) C:\PHP
2) extensions in:

   C:\PHP\ext

3) php.ini file in C:\PHP

   This was the installer generated file.

4) In a command window at the command line in C:\PHP

   I run php -c . php.ini

I get the following:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LOGICAL_AND in C:\PHP\php.ini on line 126

The line is just a comment...I don't get it (see below).

; NOTE: Using short tags should be avoided when developing applications or


Please help, I have wasted so much time on this.

I think the loading of the php.ini is failing which is why
my extensions don't work.

Regards.
