Where's the php pdf.dll?

Hello All -

I need to try to code my application to generate dynamic .pdf files so I got a tutorial that told me to open up my php.ini file and un-comment the ;extension=php_pdf.dll ... but when I opened up the ini file and did a search, it came up empty - no extension.

I'm running php 5 ... has something changed in the ini file for 5? Is that extension no longer around? Is it somewhere else? If I had deleted it accidently during my initial ini set-up can I safely put it back in?

I don't believe PHP's PDF extension is bundled with PHP's Windows distribution. Try downloading php_pdf.dll from [pecl4win.php.net...] and placing it in the ext/ directory found within your PHP installation directory.

Then add the appropriate line to your php.ini file, and restart Apache.

This is strange,
are you running some Wamp, Xamp or Lamp as a testbed?

out of curiosity, since I never had a need for, I checked a bunch of servers:
Office dev beds, live server test bed, and production server both do offer that DLL.
