If you are using apache, instead of copying files around (iconv.dll for instance) you can use this in your httpd.conf for apache:LoadFile d:/php/dlls/iconv.dllI placed this line before LoadModule php4_module d:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dlland it worked, no copying of files or anything therefore helps when updating php, do not have to mess around searching for files and other stuff.
