Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=9266&edit=1 ID: 9266 Comment by: moufid dot zeribi at murex dot com Reported by: mikemyers at swi dot hu Summary: Unable to load 14 of php's extensions Status: Bogus Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues Operating System: WinMe, Win98, Win2000 PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 New Comment: At the end, I succeed to solve the php_sybase_ct.dll that couldn't be loaded letting you unable to connect to sybase databases via PHP.I just needed to reinstall PHP with an installer that includes php_sybase_ct.dll, so no need to copy it from somewhere else to the extensions directory. To be more clear I first installed this package php-5.3.2-nts-Win32-VC9-x86.msi which doesn't come with the dll and used instead php-5.3.2-nts-Win32-VC6-x86.msi which does from http://windows.php.net/download. The following tool really helped me to find the solution : http://www.dependencywalker.com/, by telling me that php_sybase_ct.dll was missing a specific PHP dll which couldn't be found in the package I installed in the first stage. I wish I found this solution somewhere but as many guys fell into this problem (sometimes since 2001!) and all suggestion/resolution where turning around a wrong direction PHP.ini, extensions folder directives malformatted... I find it important to share this point! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-26 11:37:00] pajoye@php.net We can't provide this message as php does not have the hand at this stage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-26 11:28:14] moufid dot zeribi at murex dot com Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was mentionning that a detailed error message is still missing when it's about missing external libraries like the one described for php_sybase_ct.dll with PHP 5.3.2 (the latest version as of today) and that would be useful to have such info Regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-26 11:09:34] pajoye@php.net There is no issue, read the install guide to learn how to install PHP, or use the installer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-26 11:01:22] moufid dot zeribi at murex dot com This issue is reproductible under Win2003 Server - IIS6 - PHP 5.3.2. That would be great to update the status of this ticket for the latest PHP version. Regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-04 15:06:57] pajoye@php.net We are sorry, but we can not support PHP 4 related problems anymore. Momentum is gathering for PHP 6, and we think supporting PHP 4 will lead to a waste of resources which we want to put into getting PHP 6 ready. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
