Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76888&edit=1 ID: 76888 User updated by: masterwto at 163 dot com Reported by: masterwto at 163 dot com Summary: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'php_curl.dll' Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: cURL related Operating System: Windows 7 64bit PHP Version: 7.3.0RC1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: 1. The PHP7.3 root directory is on my PATH environment. 2. The PHP module is loaded into Apache, and PHP scripts can be executed correctly (no cURL functions). 3. PHP 7.1 & 7.2 is working OK. What dependency DLLs contained in the PHP ditribution is used by cURL? Do I need to copy those files to Apache\bin dir? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-09-17 08:54:21] ab@php.net Thanks for the report. The curl extension has several dependency DLL which are contained in the PHP ditribution. Please ensure the PHP root dir is on the path, when the PHP module is being loaded into Apache. Note, the DBCS encoded error messages are a separate topic. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-09-16 13:33:47] masterwto at 163 dot com Description: ------------ My Apache24 httpd.conf: LoadModule php7_module "D:/Program Files/PHP7/php7apache2_4.dll" PHPIniDir "D:/Program Files/PHP7" My PHP7.3 php.ini: ; On windows: extension_dir = "D:/Program Files/PHP7/ext" extension=php_curl.dll When Apache2.4 Windows service is started, I got the error: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'php_curl.dll' (tried: D:/Program Files/PHP7/ext\\php_curl.dll (\xef\xbf\xbd\xd2\xb2\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xd6\xb8\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xc4\xa3\xef\xbf\xbd\xe9\xa1\xa3), D:/Program Files/PHP7/ext\\php_php_curl.dll.dll (\xef\xbf\xbd\xd2\xb2\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xd6\xb8\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xc4\xa3\xef\xbf\xbd\xe9\xa1\xa3)) in Unknown on line 0 [Sun Sep 16 20:59:25.428390 2018] [mpm_winnt:notice] [pid 2992:tid 508] AH00455: Apache/2.4.34 (Win64) PHP/7.3.0RC1 configured -- resuming normal operations [Sun Sep 16 20:59:25.428390 2018] [mpm_winnt:notice] [pid 2992:tid 508] AH00456: Apache Lounge VC15 Server built: Aug 15 2018 11:38:51 [Sun Sep 16 20:59:25.428390 2018] [core:notice] [pid 2992:tid 508] AH00094: Command line: 'D:\\Program Files\\Apache24\\bin\\httpd.exe -d D:/Program Files/Apache24' [Sun Sep 16 20:59:25.428390 2018] [mpm_winnt:notice] [pid 2992:tid 508] AH00418: Parent: Created child process 6548 PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'php_curl.dll' (tried: D:/Program Files/PHP7/ext\\php_curl.dll (\xef\xbf\xbd\xd2\xb2\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xd6\xb8\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xc4\xa3\xef\xbf\xbd\xe9\xa1\xa3), D:/Program Files/PHP7/ext\\php_php_curl.dll.dll (\xef\xbf\xbd\xd2\xb2\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xd6\xb8\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xef\xbf\xbd\xc4\xa3\xef\xbf\xbd\xe9\xa1\xa3)) in Unknown on line 0 [Sun Sep 16 20:59:26.364392 2018] [mpm_winnt:notice] [pid 6548:tid 456] AH00354: Child: Starting 64 worker threads.
