Why doesn't php load extensions under Win?

Question

PHP

Here you download php and always, always it cannot determine the path to the extension in php.ini:
extension=php_mbstring.dll
works only if you specify the full path from the disk.
Otherwise, it searches for it for some reason in C:/php, although there is NO such environment variable.
Where to dig? I need to make a standalone package and I can't bind to a disk.

Answer 1

The default location PHP searches for extensions is c:\php5 . To change this setting to reflect your setup of PHP edit your file php.ini.
You need to change the parameter extension_dir to point to the directory where your extensions or where you placed your files php _ *. Dll. For example:extension_dir = c:\php\extensions
