#37851 [Opn->Bgs]: Unable to load dynamic library should say where it looked

ID: 37851 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: Dave at Yost dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Dynamic loading Operating System: linux PHP Version: 5.1.4 New Comment: extension_dir is the only dir where PHP looks for extensions. None of the dirs you mentioned are used, so such error message would be just senseless. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-06-19 19:10:53] Dave at Yost dot com Description: ------------ Error message is not helpful. A good error message could save thousands of hours of people's time worldwide. Expected result: ---------------- Unable to load dynamic library './mysql.so' - ./mysql.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in '/usr/lb', '/lib,', '/usr/local/apache/php/extensions'. Change blah in php.ini or recompile with the -with-blah=foo' option to fix this problem. Actual result: -------------- Unable to load dynamic library './mysql.so' - ./mysql.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory And "Incorrect CAPTCHA" at the top of this bug reporting page should instead be red text next to the thing that is wrong. Not everyone knows right away what CAPTCHA is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37851&edit=1
