It actually is "C:\WINDOWS" (not C:\WINDOWS\php.ini), but the file
wasn't there. I copied it and adjusted so that the relevant lines
match the new location. Still no effect.

Done. It is: "c:/php5/ext/". I also tried "C:/PHP5/ext/" and the
same with backslashes. No effect.

Done. It's there, all right.

I probably was. Unfortunately, editing the right one (which was
missing, by the way) didn't do me no good. Any other ideas, what
might I be doing wrong?

Thanks for help, everyone :o) I finally got it working. Here's how I did it, by the way, if enyone encounters the same problem. It turned out I actually was editing the wrong php.ini, since the one in my c:\php5 folder was never even read by apache. This is odd because I checked a thousand times, and I bet my ass I had the PHPIniDir directive set to C:\php5 in my httpd.conf. I tried various approaches to this - forward slash, trailing slash, moving the php directory somewhere else - nothing. php.ini would always be looked for in c:\windows directory, nowhere else. Seems as though Windows knows better where to look for this file than apache itself, because the phpinfo() would show that php.ini was in c:\windows :o[[ Everything works pretty neat right now.
