Enable mongo PHP extension in Microsoft Azure Webs

Question

I'm trying to load php_mongo.dll extension in Azure Websites. I tried this guide http://cloud.dzone.com/articles/using-custom-php-extensions , but it doesn't work.

I looked at the phpinfo() but the extension does not get loaded. At one point, I managed to do it, but I have no idea how I did it. Now it doesn't work anymore.

Is there a working guide to how to activate custom php extensions on azure websites? Or any idea how I can do this? Thank you!

PS: I'm using PHP_EXTENSIONS : bin\php_mongo.dll in App Settings, PHP version 5.5, where php_mongo.dll is 1.6.2-5.5-VC11-X86-NTS

Answer 1

Here's the answer: use double backslash. bin\\php_mongo.dll
