ID: 9266 Comment by: vishonly at yahoo dot co dot in Reported By: mikemyers at swi dot hu Status: Analyzed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: WinMe, Win98, Win2000 PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 New Comment: i completly agree i also spend almost 2 days for connecting to remote sybase server couldnot load php_sybase_ct.dll i know it requires other files like libct.dll but how to get them i know its not php bug but atleast the ppl who have worked on this can reply Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-06 13:34:13] irc-html@php.net The extensions are all (mostly) listed in a table at http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php#install.windows.extensions which also lists if the extension is dependent upon a specific library (another dll). Most of the extension documentation also lists 'You need xxx to use this extension', or 'In order to use this extension you need to install xxx', etc. I think it is clearly documented in the manual. A possibility would be to improve the error message, perhaps 'php_xxx.dll: This extension requires xxx library installed', something simliar would be helpful. Changing to feature request. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-06 13:18:40] jan@php.net so better documentation is needed for extensions that rely on external libraries. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-02-14 20:07:11] mikemyers at swi dot hu Yes, a more detailed error message, or/and two more lines in the manual could have saved me some time. And maybe it would for others too. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-02-14 16:49:32] hholzgra@php.net all of theese extensions depend on other DLLs being installed on your system like, for example, sybase_ct client DLLs (this is the native sybase call interface, _not_ the ODBC stuff) maybe we could improve the error message?
