Microsoft Link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms738520(VS.85).aspx In brief: The getaddrinfo function was added to the Ws2_32.dll on Windows XP and later. To execute an application that uses this function on earlier versions of Windows, then you need to include the Ws2tcpip.h and Wspiapi.h files. getaddrinfo support on versions of Windows earlier than Windows XP is limited to handling IPv4 name resolution. The GetAddrInfoW function cannot be used on versions of Windows earlier than Windows XP with SP2. Thanks, Carl Reproduce code: --------------- // cli sapi php -v Expected result: ---------------- PHP version. Actual result: -------------- Windows error message: "The procedure entry point getaddrinfo could not be located in the dynamic link library ws2_32.dll." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47963&edit=1
