    It most likely has something to do with the system path not finding the correct files. Also, two OTHER files are needed by PHP (at a minimum) and they need to be located correctly as well. They are…
    php4ts.dll
    php4ts.lib
    OR
    PHP 5 has additional files related to Apache as well. All start with “php5″ and end in either the .dll extension, or .lib … and all of these need to be in a place where both Apache and PHP can find them, either on the system path, or in the directory where Apache executes (for example, c:/apache/bin) …
    One possibility is to simply put all of the required files in a folder that is already ON your system path, such as c:windowssystem32 or c:winntsystem32 (depending on your version).
    Also you might want to do a search for all these files across your whole system. If you’ve got duplicate files that have different versions (from an older version of PHP perhaps) then you might run into conflicts. Make sure only the version that shipped with your currently installed PHP is the one being found on the path.

    Don’t blame this on Apache!
    This sounds more like PHP and/or MySQL!
    Make sure you have the latest of everything including Windoz!
    …/directory/filename is Unix syntax
    …directoryfilename is Windoz syntax
    Unless you are doing some very high end stuff Windoz dll’s don’t run in Linux!

    Two possibilities:
    1. Apache does not have rights to access C:php, or
    2. php5apache2.dll is damaged.

    The fact that the file has a directory entry does not guarantee that the file itself is intact. It may have a flaw of some sort that renders it unloadable.
