WampServer

i installed wamp on my windows 7 x64 installation. so i put wamp in program files (x86). but after install it failed to start due to "syntax error" in php.ini@434

so i had to put the path between quote signs like:

error_log = "C:/Program Files (x86)/wamp/logs/php_error.log"

and everything's fine. i guess it would be nice to use quote signs by default.

hmm, i was wrong. it starts up, i can load the start page on 127.0.0.1, but when i try to launch phpmyadmin:

phpMyAdmin - Error
Cannot load mysqli extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation

the problem goes away if i use program files instead of program files (x86). any ideas?

I've mentioned about this before that wamp users should avoid bank space and special characters in path when installing wamp

spaces are fine... the problem seems to be the parentheses

so it won't be fixed i guess?

You're right for parentheses in path.

Function parse_ini_file is used to read php.ini file and this is from the documentation :

Quote

Note: There are reserved words which must not be used as keys for ini files. These include: null, yes, no, true, false, on, off, none. Values null, no and false results in "", yes and true results in "1". Characters {}|&~![()^" must not be used anywhere in the key and have a special meaning in the value.

We shouldn't use those reserved characters into values (special meaning).

If someone can hear you and correct this by adding quotes...
This is the only one path that is not between quotes
