Unable to load dynamic library 'php_grpc.dll' - php

My goal is to connect my laravel project to firestore firebase. I will be needing the grpc in order to continue it. However my problem is the .dll cant be found. I already uploaded the .dll file in ext folder.
I also included it in my php.ini file.
still getting the same error
I dont know if its the version og php and grpc is conflicting.
After applying the comments' suggestions:

You need to mention extensions without php_ and .dll prefix and suffix like below:
extension=fileinfo
extension=grpc
Restart Apache server if required. You can also check for php version on the command line using php --version. If it shows the version without any warnings/errors, it means the extensions are loaded correctly.
Also, as the error message in your screenshot suggests, you need to install the right thread safe package of GRPC relevant to your operating system architecture and PHP version from https://pecl.php.net/package/grpc

Since nice_dev pointed out it was a compatibilit issue. I downloaded the non thread x64 and used it. It worked. Been using the x84, maybe the reason why it's not working.

Linking phpcpp fails when building PHP extension

Environment:
I am trying to develop a PHP-CPP extension and have downloaded the the empty extension file from https://www.php-cpp.com/documentation/your-first-extension to start. I have also modified the makefile's INI_DIR variable to point to the correct path.
Problem:
When I try to make the empty extension it fails to create the shared library file and says /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lphpcpp.
I'm pretty sure I have php-cpp downloaded correctly, so I have no idea what's wrong. (I have also searched the internet and have found no solutions)
PHP version: 7.4
System: Elementary-OS (Ubuntu)
Turns out that when I first ran make to compile php-cpp it didn't make the libphpcpp.so file. So, I reinstalled it from Github and built it again and it worked. I don't know why I didn't try that the first time.

Cannot load imagick library

I have installed the imagick from here (ImageMagick-7.0.3-1-Q16-x64-dll) and the dll (TS 32 bit) from here. And also copiend the CORE_RL_* to the C:\xampp\apache\bin BUT still i get the following error when i run the laravel server.
ERROR: Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\xampp\php\ext\php_imagick.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
in Unknown on line 0
Also, I placed dll file in C:\xampp\php\ext\php_imagick.dll.
Also, the imagick is shown in the phpinfo().
And when i use it using laravel i get the following error.
getting Imagick to work on Windows has always been a bit hit and miss as pointed out here is a good guide
http://stackoverflow.com/a/36378764/1090867
But it misses an important point
You do not need to put the binary into the PHP folder!
So here are the steps I follow myself every time I need to do this. This should work for apache, Nginx, or IIS.
Step 1
find out your php version and setting
You need to version, Architecture, Compiler and Thread Safety
if Thread Safety is disabled this is NTS is enabled it will TS
Step 2
Get and install a copy of ImageMagick and make sure it matches your Architecture, this also needs to be dll.exe rather than the static version.
Regarding Q8 and Q16 I'll leave that to you but both versions will work
Link
I recommend changing the install directory name to something generic like
C:\Imagemagick since I've had some problems in the past with the default directory name with PHP and windows.
Just install but make sure you tick add application path and I normally tick the legacy utils as well.
Once it's installed go to your environment variables and make sure it is actually in the path. There is no need to copy anything to your PHP folder
Just to make sure everything is working open the command line and type convert --version you should get a response
Step 3
This unfortunately is the hard part and can be a bit of trial and error. I've found the following provides the best php_imagick.dll that seems to work 9 times out of 10
http://www.peewit.fr/imagick/
Just pick the version that matches your install.
If this doesn't work then go to php.net and try each version until one works... (start at the latest)
http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/imagick/
Once you have a php_imagick.dll put it into your php/ext/ folder
thne locate your php.ini file go to the bottom (or whereever your extensions are) and add extension=php_imagick.dll
Step 4
Restart PHP (or your computer) and it should be working if not try a different php_imagick.dll and repeat.
If the above doesn't work
Then try a slightly older version of Imagick I normally use version 6.8.6-8 Q16.
Please note I've only ever really done this on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008, 2008 R2, 2012, and 2012 R2 all x64 with x86 PHP
If this still doesn't work then you probably need to copy over the CORE_RL files into your Imagick directory this normally causes more issues but if you are running out ideas then give it a go
I just ran into this issue. Only I'm using PHP on the command line (PHP CLI). The problem is the dependencies that the main php_imagick.dll file has. PHP will attempt to load the extension but since Windows can't find the CORE_RL_ DLLs, the extension will fail to load and the error/warning message about being unable to load the DLL will appear. It helps to know how Windows loads DLLs:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682586(v=vs.85).aspx
It's pretty convoluted but you can see that the reason the Apache /bin directory trick works with Apache is that httpd.exe is located in that directory. However, when using PHP CLI, the DLLs need to be located in the same directory as php.exe.
If you don't want duplicate DLLs floating around, add the directory containing php.exe to the system PATH and plop all the CORE_RL_ DLLs there. The PATH is the last thing searched, but it'll work fine. If you don't want spurious entries in your system PATH, then set the extra PATH information only during startup of Apache.
This is because the dependencies are missing. Those who are facing the same error Unable to load dynamic library 'php_imagick', Please follow the below steps
Go to https://pecl.php.net/package/imagick choose a stable version and click on the DLL link.
From the DLL list click the link which, is suitable for your PHP version.
After downloading the php_imagick zip file, extract it and copy the php_imagick.dll file to C:\xampp\php\ext folder.
Extract all DLL files from the php_imagick zip file (except php_imagick.dll) to the PHP root directory (where you have php.exe). Ex: For XAMPP user C:\xampp\php folder.
Add extension=php_imagick to your php.ini file.
Restart the Apache server.
Things to keep in mind before choosing from the DLL list.
Check the PHP version.
Check the architecture (x64/x86).
Check Thread Safety (enabled/disabled).
N.B: Above solution is for XAMPP users only.
I changed php_imagick in php.ini file to php_imagick.dll and it happened
I had the same problem. It turns out I have to install complete ImageMagic application, not just ImageMagic php extension.
And I also set MAGICK_HOME environment variable.

GD2 library in PHP not installing

I'm having problems installing the GD library. I'm using an IIS server with PHP 5.2.14. I uncommented extension=php_gd2.dll in php.ini.
This is the error:
gd: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API =20060613
PHP compiled with modlule API = 20090626
These options need to match
in Unknown on Line 0
I downloaded various PHP versions to try and get the correct DLL, including thread-safe 5.2.14. I would then restart my application pool and try to load a file that uses the GD library. Are there other files necessary for gd2 to work? Are there any quick ways to solve this without reinstalling PHP entirely?
first, iis7 was not configured properly for php - I searched for a guide that walked me through. Second the directory was incorrect, whenever I reset the iis server it originally would say one directory when ISAPI api was being used- but after 2 mins it would say extension_dir was in another directory when cgi/fastcgi is being used. So i created that directory that it wanted (which was different than any of my php.ini's). The one it was pulling from needed to be put in the C:/windows directory, but even though I had it set to go to "./ext" it wanted to go to Program files/PHP-- extremely weird. Third, I had to add IUSR to the permissions of any folder being used.

php_zip does not exist in php 5.3.5

I'm in the process of using PHPExcel. One of the requirements is that I need to enable php_zip.
(...) if you need PHPExcel to handle .xlsx or .ods files you will need
the zip extension...
I'm using PHP v5.3.5. and in my php.ini file, I have the following lines:
;extension=php_xmlrpc.dll
;extension=php_xsl.dll
;extension=php_zip.dll
If I remove the ; in the last line, and restart Wampserver, I get the following error message:
PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'I:/wamp/.../ext/php_zip.dll' - The specified module could not be
found.
Reading the web, many says that as of PHP 5.3.0, php_zip is built-in.
If it is built then why is this line still in the configuration?
Do I get the error message because since it's built in, the file has been removed?
PS. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but not sure where else to put it.
In fact, Zip is included by default. It is a bug that the line is still included.
marc answer is right. I wanted to add a comment that using
extension_loaded('zip');
returns false as it is no longer an extension, you could use
class_exists('ZipArchive');
to check for it now.
I've had a similar problem with a different library. WAMP doesn't include many libraries by default for some reason.
What I did was download the full PHP installation as a zip from php.net and the required dll was found in the extensions folder just as it is in WAMP. I just copied it from the zip to the WAMP extension folder and it worked fine.

PHP won't parse MySQL statements

I just installed Apache 2.2.15/PHP 5.3.2/MySQL 5.1.44 on Windows Vista. Apache is working fine, PHP is functional, and MySQL works on the CLI. However, when I try to access MySQL via PHP, I get an error (Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect()). extension=php_mysql.dll and extension=php_mbstring.dll are uncommented in the php.ini file, and PHP is in the system path. There is no libmysql.dll in either the top level PHP directory or the ext directory. There's a libmySQL.dll file in the MySQL bin directory (which is also in the system path); I tried renaming it, but that doesn't do anything
Also, in case anyone wants to know, I originally installed PHP using the MSI installer, but it was missing some DLLs, so I installed from the zip file.
I think I've exhausted all my options. Any help on this problem would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
IIRC the msi installer sets some registry values that influence the php configuration, see http://docs.php.net/configuration.changes#configuration.changes.windows. That might change the location of the php.ini that is used. You might want to delete those registry keys. Anyway, you did edit the file that is shown in the output of phpinfo()?
Which build of php do you use? The one you can download from http://windows.php.net/download/? Then you probably have the new mysqlnd transport driver built into the php core dll and don't need libmysql.dll. The mysqlnd driver should show up in the output of phpinfo(). Does it?
It sounds like you do not have the MySQL mod for PHP properly installed or configured. I recommend using AMP on Linux, so sorry for not having any specific instructions for Windows.
