Change PHP working directory, PostgreSQL not working on Windows

Question

I don't use the Microsoft dump-everything-folder because I like to keep my stuff organized. My PHP and corresponding php.ini file are located here...

C:\\MEDIA\\INTERNET\\WAPP\\PHP 5.6.2 x64\\php.ini

PHP does not see PostgreSQL which I've verified via phpinfo . The Apache error log showed the following error...

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\\php\\php_pgsql.dll'
 - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0

So my question is where is the setting to change the default PHP directory? This should get PostgreSQL to work with PHP.

Answer 1

You have to change the default php extension directory by editing the php.ini :

extension_dir="FULL_MODIFIED_EXTENSTION_PATH"

Something like:

extension_dir="C:\MEDIA\INTERNET\WAPP\PHP 5.6.2 x64\ext"
