#32733 [Bgs->Opn]: libmysqli.dll not included w/5.0.4 & PHP_MySQL.DLL & PHP_MySQL.DLL won't load

ID: 32733 User updated by: jason at thinkingman dot org Reported By: jason at thinkingman dot org -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: XP (SP2) PHP Version: 5.0.4 New Comment: I have read that, although it doesn't explicitly say -- it does imply in 5.0.3 and above it's just LibMySQL.DLL. However, I'm still left with the problem of the PHP_MYSQLi.DLL and PHP_MYSQL.DLL extensions not loading. My Extensions are located in C:\DEV\PHP5\ext This path is correctly defined in my PHP.INI and my OS's environment. Yet each time I restart IIS I get that error; Unable to Load Extension PHP_MySQLi.DLL (same for PHP_MySQL.DLL) -- cannot be located. And they do exist in my .;\ext folder Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-17 20:38:53] nlopess@php.net The libmysqli.dll lib was replaced by libmysql.dll. This is documented at http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.extensions.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-17 20:27:57] jason at thinkingman dot org I understand you are volunteers, and *believe* me when I say I think you are all *awesome* -- but please be responsible, respective, and kind to others with your words also. Clearly 'sniper' *reacted* to my posting, instead of reading it and *responding* appropriately to it -- unf. this seems all to common -- not just here. As for the LibMySQLi.DLL -- this was part of 5.0.2 -- has it been removed? I placed LibMySQLi.DLL from my 5.0.2 distro in 5.0.4 but this didn't seem to fix the problem -- when PHP would load through the starting of IIS I would get the message "Unable to Load PHP_MySQLi.DLL, extension not found" {message isn't exactly that, but similar. Same for PHP_MySQL.DLL -- even though LibMySQL.DLL is in PHP Root. Again, all my paths are correct, all my OS NTFS Permissions are correct / open, and PHP.INI is correct. But I still get this error. When I simply replaced 5.0.4 with 5.0.2 -- it all works again. I have no duplicate dlls. And I see the LibMySQLi.DLL in my 5.0.2 distro -- so I'm left with the 5.0.4 distro being broken. Jason ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-17 19:38:44] derick@php.net There is no libmysqlI.dll - it doesn't exist. And I suggest you tone down a bit - we're all volunteers here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-17 19:33:17] jason at thinkingman dot org Problem isn't *my* installation method chief. Been using Zip/Winzip for the better half of 20 years - but thanks for making someone else's fuckup an issue w/ me -- truly appreciate 'A' types like u who think the problem is always the person having the problem. The ZIP I download (from whatever mirror) DID NOT have libmysqli.dll (notice the "i".) You clearly didn't not read my posting correctly. And, never said PHP_MySQL.DLL or PHP_MySQLi.DLL weren't there -- what *I* said was, LibMySQLi.DLL is *missing* from the distro. I don't know how you jumped to the assumption that somehow I think LibMySQL.DLL is an extension, nor the assumption that I don't know where the extensions are stored. The problem (Chief) is on your end; Mirrors or Not -- not my end. Fix it, repost it (to all mirrors.) Cool? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-17 14:53:06] sniper@php.net Reopening and relclassifyin as documentation probelm since the release package (and snapshots) seem to have all the dlls now in the 'root' of the package. The install.txt needs a bit of tuning.. Jason, FYI: The libmysql.dll is NOT the extension. The extensions are found in ext/ directory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
