“ Resolved! It works with our configurations
Apache 2.4.6 VC9 + PHP 5.3.27 NTS VC9 + PHP as mod_fcgid 2.3.7
Even though we have the dependencies and the lib folder files in the system path, Apache expects them in the php root folder along with php-cgi.exe while it loads the wsf.dll from ext folder.
Caveat: Don't overwrite the PHP files (openssl), with openssl dependencies of WSF to avert php crashes.
However, as said earlier the test in cmd window was OK, as only php comes into play & thus the system path setting was good enough.
Your Good Efforts! Worth this Exercise.
Thanks for your prompt response, time & efforts. ”
