Well, come on now. It can´t be that simple. Php seems to be installed when I do that. The problem seems to be that IIS doesn´t see my php. 0x8007h007f is the error code,Calling GetProcAddress on ISAPI filter "C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\isapi.dll" failed. The installation manual says that I should make a connection to "php5isapi.dll", which is nowhere to be found in the zip installation package.

OK. I uninstalled php, I downloaded the zip-package. Now nothing is functioning. Why the bloody hell can´t there be a sufficiently intelligent installation package. Or a manual that, on typing in Windows Vista, IIS, gives me help without having to sift out in every paragraph the things important to me? I want to program with PHP, not to try out installation variations hour after hour.

I installed the package: php-5.3.0-Win32-VC9-x86.msi. There are no other 'extension_dir = ... ' lines in my php.ini. I tried to change the extension_dir in runtime: echo 'extension dir ' . ini_get('extension_dir'); ini_set('extension_dir', 'e:\php\ext'); echo 'extension dir ' . ini_get('extension_dir'); Nope! It remains at 'c:\php5'. Also I tried to put the 'php_mysqli.dll' in the place which the 'extension_dir' expects it, namely 'c:\php5' (I created that directory just for this file). No effect, whatsoever.

Question 1: Yes, my phpinfo() says the extension_dir is c:\php5. Question 2: php_mysqli.dll is present. I wouldn't know whether it is the proper version, I downloaded the whole bunch on June 28. Remark: I previously had a prior version of php5 which was indeed in c:\php5, but when I got 5.3.0. I put it on my E-disk because of space.

When I change something else in php.ini it shows up via phpinfo(), for example, when I change "display_errors = on " to ".... off" it is shown via phpinfo(). Phpinfo() shows "Configuration File (php.ini) Path: C:\Windows", but on the next line it says "Loaded Configuration File: E:\php\php.ini", the latter is correct.

Yes, I uncommented 'extension_dir = "e:\php\ext" '.

When I try "mysqli_connect" I get the error message that this function is undefined. My php.ini file is read, when I change something in it, it is reflected in the output from phpinfo(). Except that the "extension_dir" doesn't change, it keeps saying "C:\php5", whereas I changed that in my ini-file into "E:\php\ext". I also uncommented "extension = php_mysqli.dll" in the ini-file. I set PHPRC in my system variables to the right path. I have php 5.3 now and I am running it locally on IIS with Windows Vista SP1. Anyone got an idea?
