Installation of Windows Modules

After installing PHP and a webserver on windows, you will probably want to tune your specific modules. The following table describes the current windows modules. As described in the manual installation steps, you can choose which modules you would like to load when PHP starts by uncommenting the: 'extension=php_*.dll' lines. Some modules require you to have additional libraries installed on your system for the module to work correctly. The PHP FAQ has more information on where to get supporting libraries. You can also load a module dynamically in your script using: dl("php_*.dll");
