I see the information

php -i and php -v reports I am running 4.4.7 after generating the

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

John,

Sorry, I have no idea. I would have to look at your entire system. I gave you some points to start with - system environment, the configuration file, and the binary files being loaded, for instance. Heck - it could even be a file in your PHP4/ext directory which was really a PHP5 module.

I know this isn't a lot of help. But there isn't much I can tell you from this end - it would be an entire chapter in a book.

OTOH, why are you using PHP 4, anyway? It's a dead product. Even within a few days there won't even be any more security patches. You need to be on PHP5.
