ID: 9266 Updated by: jan Reported By: mikemyers@swi.hu Status: Analyzed Old Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: WinMe, Win98, Win2000 PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 New Comment: so better documentation is needed for extensions that rely on external libraries. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-02-14 20:07:11] mikemyers@swi.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?

I tried everything I could, but 14 of the extensions would not load under WinMe, Win98, Win2000, with any combination of apache, pws, iis. The extension_dir is just set all fine, and the rest of the extensions load and function well. I only wanted to get some data from a sybase db. I could actually solve it with ODBC, but I still thought it's not the real way. I discussed this problem on the local php mailing list, everyone knew it, noone knew why. I searched through the php manual and the rest of the web just to find a fraction of information that could be helpful either way, but there was no. The extensions that made me 2 horribe days: php_curl.dll php_fdf.dll php_gettext.dll php_ifx.dll php_interbase.dll php_ldap.dll php_mssql65.dll php_mssql70.dll php_oci8.dll php_openssl.dll php_oracle.dll php_sablot.dll php_sybase_ct.dll php_yaz.dll A sample message: PHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\php\extensions\php_sybase_ct.dll' My question is if it is possible to load these extensions some way, or should I give up trying, becouse they will never load. Thank you a lot. I wish you nice developing.
