You can run the following script from Apache:

  <?php
  exec('"C:\\Opt\\PHP\\deplister" "C:\\Opt\\PHP\\ext\\php_curl.dll"',
$output);
  print_r($output);

All DLLs should be OK.

With an absolute path:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'curl' (tried:
C:\\Opt\\PHP\\ext\\curl (No se puede encontrar el m\xef\xbf\xbddulo especificado.),
C:\\Opt\\PHP\\ext\\php_curl.dll (No se encontr\xef\xbf\xbd el proceso especificado.)) in Unknown on
line 0

Thanks for the feedback!

Have you tried to use an absolute path for extension_dir?

Sorry for the delay (a trip got in between). I've verified to the best of my ability that:

- PHP directory belongs to PATH
- Apache recognises such PATH
- Apache finds and loads successfully the copy of libssh2.dll provided by PHP binaries (according to
Process Monitor)

... yet Curl is still unavailable under Apache (though it loads fine in command-line):

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'curl' (tried: ext\\curl (No se
puede encontrar el m\xef\xbf\xbddulo especificado.), ext\\php_curl.dll (No se encontr\xef\xbf\xbd el
proceso especificado.)) in Unknown on line 0

I've also tried almost every 7.3.x release for Win64 and learnt that:

- 7.3.0 and 7.3.2 work fine.
- 7.3.3 to 7.3.6 fail.

I mentioned I'm using symlinks—I've switched to regular directories just to be safe.
I've restarted several times. Nothing changed.

I'm totally clueless so far. Is there anything else you'd like me to try?
