PHP4 on Win98 using PWS 4 can't find library files needed to run.

It displays "One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found."

btw no PWS-php4.reg enclosed with the distribution!

You have uncommented, I believe, some of the dll files names in the 
php.ini file (in c:\windows directory). something like php_mssql70.dll. 
I made this error as well!! This one specifically needs some extra 
dll's, probably available from www.php.net.
Comment these lines, shutdown the server and start it again. And you 
are all set...
Hope this helps.
==================================================
Another possibility that happened to me is that the extensions 
directory is not set correctly in PHP.ini. This determines where PHP 
looks for extension DLLs. Just modify that line (I think its 
extensions_dir=???) in PHP.ini to point to where all your extensions 
are.

Hey...had the same problem you've described, tried all of the above, to 
no avail. Turns out my PWS installation was somehow corrupt. I just 
installed Norton SystemWorks last week, and it might have messed 
something up in the system clean-ups I did. Anyway, a fresh PWS install 
did the trick. Note that you'll need to re-install any other add-ons 
(Perl, etc.) after re-installing PWS. But hey, it gets PHP working.
