IIS7 WebPI install of PhP 5.2.10 missing some handy dlls
Posted by chicagomom on August 20, 2009 at 1:23pm
Just wanted to pass along my experience using the WebPI install of PhP 5.2.10. It works ok out of the box for Drupal6 but I discovered that several dlls are not enabled by default that are helpful for several Drupal tasks, notably:
tidy (see this iis.net forum post)
xsl
pdo and pdo_mysql - these are required by Drupal7
mcrypt - required by phpmyadmin
