Install PHP5
Suppose your system is installed in C, otherwise the following directory must be changed to the appropriate disk directory.
Unzip the downloaded PHP5 RC3 (php-5.0.0rc3-win32.zip) to the C:\PHP5\ directory. Unzip all files in the PECL Extension Module collection package into the C:\PHP5\ext\ directory.
Copy the Php5ts.dll file from the C:\PHP5\ directory to C:\windows\ (if the Windows 2000 operating system is the C:\WINNT\ directory, the same below, no longer repeat the description) directory.
Copy the following DLL files in the C:\PHP5\ directory under the C:\windows\system32\ directory:



Fdftk.dll
Fribidi.dll
Gds32.dll
Libeay32.dll
Libintl-1.dll
Libmhash.dll
Libmysql.dll
Libmysqli.dll
Ntwdblib.dll
Ntwdblib.dll
Yaz.dll


Where Libmysql.dll is extended support for MySQL 4.1 Prior versions, Libmysqli.dll for MySQL 4.1 later. Because I download the above is the MySQL 4.0.20, so actually copy libmysql.dll can.
Copy the Php.ini-dist file in the C:\PHP5\ directory to the C:\windows\ directory and rename it to php.ini and open the edit with Notepad:
Navigate to the following two lines:

; Directory in which the loadable Extensions (modules) reside.
Extension_dir = "./"


Modify the following line to point it to the C:\PHP5\ext\ directory, as follows:

; Directory in which the loadable Extensions (modules) reside.
Extension_dir = "C:\PHP5\ext\"


Navigate to the following two lines:



; Windows Extensions
; This is the ODBC support is built in, and so no DLL are needed for it.


You can see that all of the supported extensions are listed below, and we can remove the preceding semicolon to enable PHP to support the appropriate extensions. I tested it, support the following extensions, or configure them according to your selections.
