PHP, IIS and MSSQL Installation problems



Ok, so I am now completely confused and in need of help!
I recently installed PHP5 using the manual method described in the
associated help file. This was the first time I had ever tried
installing it on our server rather than on a local machine for
development perposes. All went perfectly well and I opted for the
php5isapi.dll method. After installation I modified the php.ini as
required and put it into the winnt directory. Next I set up IIS. This
was all new to me but after setting the dll in the 'Application
Mappings' much to my suprise everything worked perfect. Phpinfo()
worked and told me what I expected to see and my php webpages worked.

Ok this was all shortlived!!! I then proceded to put in a couple of
extensions for mssql support which is sitting on the same server, along
with the sybase extension (because someone on a group said you needed
this also) and now I can't get PHP to work...

Right firstly we are running windows 2000 server and I believe IIS to
be version 5. I am not sure whether you are supposed to register the
dll's your using or whether PHP does on running?, but I did actually
try registering them. Because I just couldn't
seem to get PHP running again I decided to delete everything and start
again. However it won't let me delete php_mssql.dll or php5isapi.dll
because they are in use! It appears that dllhost.exe now knows about
it, and I can't seem to unregister them???
Does anyone know how to get rid of the dll's or to get PHP working
again, I have now tried everything to no avail ????

Cheers in advance..
