#24621 [Com]: Unable to load php_mysql.dll - The specified procedure could not be found

ID: 24621 Comment by: gerrykwan at netvigator dot com Reported By: eric at cosky dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: MySQL related Operating System: Windows XP SP 1 PHP Version: 5CVS-2003-07-12 (dev) New Comment: Could you please explain the solution a little bit more? I cannot figure out it, where should the libmySQL.dll be placed? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-12 16:22:03] eric at cosky dot com Thanks for the quick suggestion! That wasn't quite the problem, but close enough to give me a clue for what to look for. After I verified the DLL was in fact being loaded, I was able to determine that the DLL being loaded wasn't the correct version - I had a DLL from a previous version of PHP lingering in my windows/system32 folder that was getting found in the search path before the current version. Once again I am reminded of why I should never copy DLLs to the windows directory and instead just update global path search variables so I don't have old versions lurking about like this. Thanks again, Eric Cosky ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-12 13:22:49] philip@php.net Be sure to also copy libmySQL.dll to the appropriate location (like you do with every other DLL in the dlls/ folder). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-12 12:44:09] eric at cosky dot com Description: ------------ Using PHP snapshot file from today: php5-win32-200307121430.zip PHP appears to be installed and working, except when I tried to use phpMyAdmin with it where phpMyAdmin started saying that mysql support wasn't enabled. Looking into it further, php_info() does not show any mysql extensions enabled. I haven't seen it clearly stated that mysql needs to be explicitly loaded now in php version 5.0 but it has been implied in a couple places so I think the thing to do was add the following line to php.ini: extension=php_mysql.dll When starting php, this dialog box comes up: "Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\php\extensions\php_mysql.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found" This seems like it is what I need to be doing, and the result seems possibly due to a bug. Thanks for any info, Eric Cosky Reproduce code: --------------- <?php php_info(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- I expect to see mysql extensions described along with everything else. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24621&edit=1
