#48323 [NEW]: files load at command line, but not through apache.

From: davebastow at yahoo dot com dot au Operating system: Win32 (XP SP3) PHP version: 5.2.9 PHP Bug Type: Dynamic loading Bug description: files load at command line, but not through apache. Description: ------------ I can repeat the behaviour reported by "usai roberto" in bug #5764 (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=5764) but this bug is closed so I cannot add to it. It relates to loading extension dll files. I can load the extension "php_gd2.dll", but if I try to load any of "php_mysql.dll", "php_mysqli.dll" or "php_mcrypt.dll" When I start apache (which attempts to load php as a module) I get a pop-up saying: "PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\server\php\ext\php_mcrypt.dll' - The specified module could not be found" Similar messages appear for the other two mysql dll files also. Then a second series of three identical popups is displayed. Apache still runs, and php is available, but as soon as, for example mysql is accessed in a script I get the familiar "Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect()..." Importantly, all four of these files are within the same directory which I can guarantee is that referred to by my php.ini file. And seeing as php_gd2.dll is accessed, one would assume that the extension_dir value is correctly set. Interestingly these errors only occur when using php via apache. That is, if I run "php -i" from the command line, no such error occurs. Comparing the output from php -i to that of the <?php phpinfo(); ?> command (accessed via apache) I can see that the value of "extension_dir" and "Loaded configuration File" show exactly the same values in both. However the "php -i" version contains a mysql and mysqli section whereas the webpage version does not. I've been playing with this for literally days now, and would REALLY love a solution.
