I have to connect to a remote Informix database, and the needed extension just won't load. Oracle extension (which i use in the same app) works fine. They're both in the same directory (default c:\program files\xampp\php\extensions) but php_ifx.dll refuses to work >_<.
I have the necessary Informix client on my dev box.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

They're both in the same directory (default c:\program files\xampp\php\extensions)

You are worIking with PHP4?

have the necessary Informix client on my dev box.

This directory (with the file "sqlt09a.dll") is in your system path?

Yea, i'm working with php4. I tried switching to php5 (the app works the same on 4 and 5, but production environment will be 4, so i use that) and it did not work .

And equally: I have the folder where sqlt09a.dll resides on my system path. I tried to reinstall xampp and informix this weekend just to find the same problem. Will keep trying whatever comes to mind and post my experiences.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

Another question:

but php_ifx.dll refuses to work

You can explain this more detailed?
