PHP-CGI is not loading extensions

Question

I have a local server running PHP-GCI 5.3.0, but when I run phpinfo() it shows me normal information, but extensions.

There are nothing about extensions, and I'm using its normal ext folder.

Could this be related to my folder having spaces? (i.e. this is my php.ini C:\Arquivos de programas\Winco\Winconnection4\php.ini)

I need to do something different to load extensions while using CGI?

This is my php.ini:

[PHP] zend_extension="ext/php_xdebug-2.0.5-5.3-vc6.dll"
register_globals=Off
safe_mode = on
cgi.force_redirect = Off
extension_dir="ext"
session.bug_compat_warn=Off;

#ATIVANDO A COMPACTAÇÃO DA PAGINA
#zlib.output_compression = On

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

display_errors = on

extension=php_sqlite3.dll

Hi,

Here a a couple of pointers ; with a bit of luck, one of those might be helpful :

• first of all, are you sure you are editing the right php.ini file ? there could be several of those on your computer (for instance, one in the windows/system32 directory ; and another one in the PHP installation directory) ; phpinfo() says in the output which php.ini file is loaded ; make sure you are modifying the right one ;-)
• When using zend_extension to load a Zend Extension, you should use an absolute path ; see Xdebug - Installation
• what about using an absolute path for extension_dir ?
• If I rememeber correctly, you should use ";" not "#" for comments in .ini files

If you try launching PHP via the command line, do you get any error ? Same in Apache's log file ?

Hoping one of those will help...
