I've just been setting up PHP 5.2.2 on Windows XP Pro, with Apache 2.0.59. I couldn't get Apache to find the correct php.ini file. It was looking in C:\Windows, instead of where I installed PHP. The httpd.conf file told Apache to look in C:\Program Files\PHP, but it wasn't. So none of the extensions were loading.
I figured out that changing the back slashes to forward slashes fixes the problem. I wanted to blog about this as The Underground PHP and Oracle Manual that we've just released doesn't mention this problem, and you may encounter it yourselves. So if you do, you know the fix. And yes, I've logged a bug with PHP for this. :-)

I am happy I found this.
I will be setting up something today, in the same configuration as you have described here.
It will be my first experience in Apache and PHP - so I would have been lost.
Thank you, thank you.

I noticed this when setting up a local debug server on my dev box, I just specified the complete file name and it worked.
Default (looks in c:\windows):
PHPIniDir "C:\Program Files\PHP"
Works fine:
PHPIniDir "C:\Program Files\PHP\php.ini"
