Description:
------------
I installed PHP 5.2.11 via the installer on a Windows 7 with Apache 2.2.14. I chose to install 3 extensions MySQL, GD2 and XSL.

After editing http.conf to enable PHP, everything runs OK. Only prolem found is that PHP errors are not appended to the Apache error log.

Then I go to the php.ini and enable any of the 3 extensions I installed. Then try to restart Apache. Apache process start fails without giving any error log.

I then uninstall PHP 5.2.11, install 5.2.9 and repeat the same process. Everything runs fine this time.

You are certainly either missing a DLL or using the wrong DLL (libmysql certainly).

Be sure to have the PHP directory (where the DLL are) first in your PATH.

No issue here but configuration problem.

The problem occurs even if I don't activate the php_mysql extension, so no link to any missing libmysql DLL. Just enabling the php_gd2.dll triggers the problem.

Plus I don't have the issue with 5.2.9 following exactly the same install problem. So this is not a configuration problem.

tr in CLI, that may give you more details:

> cd c:\php
> php -d extension_dir=ext -d extension=php_gd2.dll -m

I tried what you asked. Uninstalled PHP 5.2.9, suppressed the PHP dir and reinstalled 5.2.11.
I got the same issue again.

Issuing
cd c:\php
php -d extension_dir=ext -d extension=php_gd2.dll -m
Gives me a crash of php (the process stops working) without any message.

Interestingly, if I don't remove the PHP dir after uninstalling PHP 5.2.9, then after installing PHP 5.2.11 everything is working.

pls run:

php -i | find "php.ini"

and paste the result here please, as well as the content of the PATH variable in the cmd line.

echo %PATH%

C:\Program Files\PHP>php -i | find "php.ini"
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => C:\Windows
Loaded Configuration File => C:\Program Files\PHP\php.ini

Just to be more specific regarding my previous answer I ran the php -i command without activating any extension in php.ini, otherwise PHP crashes before giving any output.

had the same problem on different pc's. Always with this version 5.2.11. 

Solved the problem with adding the EXT dirictory also to the %PATH% statement from Windows. With the Installer only the PHP diriecty wil be added to the %PATH% not the EXT.

By adding the EXT my problem was on several pc's over.

Configuration issue, the ext should be added to the PATH.
