RE: Bug #9555 Updated: Dynamic libraries are not being found in the php.ini's extension_dir

Hey James, No, this happens with all extensions. php_gtk.dll was just an example I used, it was the first, in a series of extensions, I tried loading.

It will work the 4.0.5 when its released. - James Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-05 02:41:15] botto@mailandnews.com Everytime I try to load any dynamic library from the php.ini's extension_dir, I get the following error (the dll specified changes depending on what library I am trying to load): Unable to load dynamic library 'C:Inetpubphpextensions/php_gtk.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found. My php.ini file contains the following line: extension_dir = C:Inetpubphpextensions It occured to me that I was missing a trailing backslash; therefore I changed my ini file to: extension_dir = C:Inetpubphpextensions This didn't seem to help as I got a similar error message: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:Inetpubphpextensionsphp_gtk.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found. I then thought that maybe any dll I load from the extension dir must also be in the %systemroot%system32 dir, so I copied the php_gtk.dll to C:WINNTsystem32. Sadly, I kept getting the same error. I also tried putting single qoutes and double qoutes around the extension_dir path... as you can guess, I got the same error. This seems to me, to be a very serious problem! I can't understand how the inability to load dynamic libraries has gone unnoticed for so many versions. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated! I am running php 4.0.4pl1 as a CGI on Windows 2000 / IIS. As a side not, I have compiled and configured php many times, on various Linux installations, and dynamic loading works perfectly. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
