note 77974 added to install.windows.extensions

Under windows, given an error similar to PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\\php\\ext\\php_mysql.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0 When PHP definitely should be able to find the module, it's fairly common knowledge that this error can also be caused by certain dlls not being in the PATH. These dlls (usually libeay32 and ssleay32) are generally found in your base php directory, and the modern windows installers add the base php directory to the PATH so that you don't need to worry about it. However, if when installing earlier versions you decided on moving libeay32, ssleay32 et al to C:\Windows\System32 instead of changing the PATH, then php will still end up with the old versions and the out of date versions will cause the same error as above. Don't fall into the trap like I did. ---- Server IP: 194.145.210.4 Probable Submitter: 81.146.9.21 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.extensions.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77974 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77974/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77974/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77974/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77974/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77974/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77974/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77974 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77974 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
