Thanks

I put the standard file that came with the install there. So it should
not have been corrupted but who knows. So I agree it looks like it was
going through its list of places to find the php.ini file and found
somthing in the windows directory. I seem to have gotten PHP to now read
the php.ini file (atleast partially) in the windows directory by doing a
php uninstall and a reinstall of php. This time I put it in a C:\PHP
directory as opposed to the installer default c:\Program Files
directory. Seems like other people have it working in Program Files.
When it was not workin I would get a short message in my browser that
said somethin like it could not make the reference call, no error
number. Sorry, I can not remember the exact message.

Thanks
Mike
