#47668 [Opn->Bgs]: PHP has encountered an Access Violation

ID: 47668 Updated by: pajoye@php.net Reported By: keith at atyourservicetech dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: MySQL related Operating System: Windows Server 2003 PHP Version: 5.2.9 New Comment: "The libmysql.dll file that ships with teh Windows binary is not compatible with php5." It is. The problem is to use the MySQL DLL with PHP. Don't do that, ever. And no bug > bogus. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-15 22:08:08] keith at atyourservicetech dot com Description: ------------ This is an issue more with mySQL than php, but figured a help should be posted here as well: The libmysql.dll file that ships with teh Windows binary is not compatible with php5. If mysql appears in the path directive PRIOR to the php directory, php5 will run into access violations. To remidy the problem, one of the two following solutions can be applied: 1) Make sure the php5 directory appears BEFORE the mysql directory in the PATH environment variable, or 2) Copy the libmysql.dll file from the php5 directory to the mysql directory. I searched HOURS for this and only found ONE obscure reference to it! Figured I would post it out here for all!
