Going through the installation instructions for setting up PHP and Moodle on a Windows 2003 Server under IIS and MSSQL2005 I noticed that there are two places to download the PECL Extensions for PHP:
The first is from the downloads page on the php.net website: http://www.php.net/downloads.php
The second is from http://pecl4win.php.net/branch.php
The pecl4win archive that I got from pecl4win.php.net seems to contain a number of extensions (.dll files) that are not available in the archive that is available on the php.net/downloads page.
The version on the php.net site seems to have been built more recently (3 May 2008) than the version on the pecl4win.php.net site (10 March 2008).
Which one should I install for an optimal Moodle setup - the pecl4win version or the version from php.net?
My Moodle environment:
Moodle 1.9.1+
PHP 5.2.6
IIS6
MSSQL 2005 (with FreeTDS)
Windows 2003 Server SP2
Thanks
