I just installed php4.0.3pl1 on a system running Windows NT 4.0 and IIS 4.0 .. They're both updated, etc.
PHP works fine ..
Until I try and load an extension. The one specifically that I'm trying to load is "php_mssql70.dll" .. But when I start services it gives me an error.
In the PHP.INI file, I've got my extension directory set to:
c:\php\extensions

Whenever I start w3svc, I get an "Error Loading c:\php\extensions/php_mssql70.dll" 

See the problem? That one "/" ... And I'm not sure where its coming from. I can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem.

Also tried to enter in:
c:\php\extensions\
for the extension_dir .... 
and Again it came up with a similar error message.

except it said that It could not find:
c:\php\extensions\php_mssql70.dll

Notice that the third "\" is a "\" and not a "/" like in the previous try.

Still no resolution.

No matter what I've tried.. basically it says
"The specified module could not be found"

Error only occurs with php_mssql70.dll, i believe.

Apparently php_mssql70.dll requires a couple different SQL dll's to be loaded. (These also come with the network client for SQL by microsoft) You shouldn't have this problem if your SQL server and Web Server are on the same machine.

And these are needed on NT 4.0 as well.

You need at least ntwdblib.dll  which comes with the PHP4 distribution .. and at least one of the following:

dbmsadsn.dll
dbmsrpcn.dll
dbmsshrn.dll
dbmssocn.dll	for tcp/ip connections
dbmsspxn.dll	for ipx/spx connections
dbmsvinn.dll
dbnmpntw.dll	for netbios connections
