I have installed both php5 and php 4.4.7 but I am not running php5 as
I have all the entries in httpd.conf related to php5 commented out. I
also do not have anything pointing to php5  in my environment path

if I type
php -i
I see the information
Configuration File (php.ini) Path  C:\PHP4\php.ini

in the  C:\PHP4\php.ini  file I have
extension_dir = "C:/php4/extensions"

php -i and php -v reports I am running 4.4.7 after generating the
error message above.

So why is the command line php trying to access  php5ts.dll?

Thanks

Because you're missing something - someplace.  It's hard to tell exactly
what, though.  It could be a configuration option, an environment
variable which loads the PHP5 dll's instead of the PHP 4 ones, or even a
PHP 4 file which was overlaid by a PHP 5 file.

I wish I could be more specific - but it's really impossible with the
lack of information you supplied.

You just need to go back and double check EVERYTHING.  Something's
amiss! :-)

Jerry,

Thank you for response. What I am looking for here is a direction on
where to check why php is going for php5ts.dll.
I thought the info given above was all that is needed to determine
where extensions are to be searched for. Probably you can tell me what
info you may need to determine where the error is coming from.

Thanks
John
