I build up a new development Windows with:
Windows 10 Prof. -
Apache 2.4.54 -
PHP 8.1.7
The problem is that PHP could not load the extension (it does not matter which one I activate).
Configuration in php.ini
extension_dir = "ext"
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Dynamic Extensions ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
extension=curl
extension=mbstring
extension=openssl
In the apache Log throw the following message:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'curl' (tried: ext\\curl (The specified module could not be found), ext\\php_curl.dll (The specified module could not be found)) in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'mbstring' (tried: ext\\mbstring (The specified module could not be found), ext\\php_mbstring.dll (The specified module could not be found)) in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'openssl' (tried: ext\\openssl (The specified module could not be found), ext\\php_openssl.dll (The specified module could not be found)) in Unknown on line 0
The installation paths are: c:\Webserver\Apache24
c:\Webserver\php
At first I thought of a permission problem, so I open the hole directory of "Webserver" to "everyone" with "full access", but this does not solve the problem.
Looks like I found the problem. After I added the path of the PHP folder to the Windows environment variables and restart windows, the error message was gone.
After downloading the latest version of pthread, coping php_pthreads.dll file into C:\xampp\php\ext folder and pthreadVC2.dll to C:\xampp\php folder and restarting apache, when i try to use composer update command i get this error:
PS C:\xampp\htdocs\xxx_pro> composer update
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'php_pthreads.dll' (tried: C:\xampp\php\ext\php_pthreads.dll (The specified module could not be found), C:\xampp\php\ext\php_php_pthre

here the name of php_pthreads file isn't php_php_pthreads.dll.dll and i'm interested why this file name is wrong on output
i also added "ext-pthreads": "*" to composer.json
I am trying to execute command "composer install" command. But getting this error:

Problem 1
- The requested PHP extension ext-intl * is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's intl extension.
this is my php ini file. I removed ";" from " extension=intl" but still it giving me error
;extension=bz2
extension=curl
extension=fileinfo
extension=gd2
;extension=gettext
;extension=gmp
extension=intl
;extension=imap
;extension=interbase
;extension=ldap
extension=mbstring
;extension=exif ; Must be after mbstring as it depends on it
;extension=mysqli

Simple copy your icu*63.dll or icu*68.dll (for PHP 8) files from your php directory to apache24/bin
It works for Apache + PHP 8.0.0 x64 + intl
if you use PHP v7.3.2 it has a reported bug in this link regarding loading dynamic library intl.
I had similar problems migrating from php7.4 to php8.1 on a Windows server. The solution was to add the path to php8 directory AND to php8 ext directory in the PATH environnement variable.
Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'gd2' (tried:

I have this problem installing laravel. Actual link is
E:\XAMPPL\php\ext\gettext while it show E:\phpXampp\php\ext\gettext in warning.
How to change the path?
Go to you php installation folder - I'm guessing this is E:\XAMPPL\php\. Open and edit the php.ini file there.
Look for the line containing extension_dir. This is used by php to locate your extensions. Edit this line to:
extension_dir = "E:\XAMPPL\php\ext"
This should solve the problem.
Alternatively, you could just edit it to:
extension_dir = "ext"
They both refer to the same path.
I uninstalled composer and then installed latest composer setup and restarted my PC. And it Worked.
when I try to run my unit tests, I get this error

Could somebody help me ? Thanks.
Running in PHPstorm, Win 10
You may need to edit your php.ini file and restart the server. Add absolute paths in php.ini configuration. It worked for xampp server in my windows 8.1 machine.
example:
extension_dir="\xampp\php\ext" to
extension_dir="C:\xampp\php\ext"
Reference: How to fix PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\\php_curl.dll'?
Edit:
Additionally for my some cases, needs to edit
browscap="xampp\php\extras\browscap.ini" to
browscap="C:\xampp\php\extras\browscap.ini"
You are missing the b2z module for php.
Which is normally included in the php package for windows
I would suggest reinstalling php or manually moving the package from the download to the correct folder or switching to a vagrant environment.
Download:
https://windows.php.net/download/
In the folder ext/bz2
Move these folder contents over to the according folder.
Just comment out ;extension=pdo_sqlite in php.ini if you don't need it. It was enabled by default in my configuration and the error message is gone.
I had faced the same problem after updating my php version from 7.0 to the latest version which is 8.1.3 as for now , the solution I used was :-
Just comment the extension in the php.ini found in (C:\xampp\php\php.ini)
extension=gd2
Note: comment by prefixing semicolon at the start
I have fought with this for the last 12 hours on my Windows 10 box. For anyone having the same trouble I am having, you need to edit the php.ini to call out the full name of the DLL file. I had to change pdo_sqlite to php_pdo_sqlite.dll and sqlite3 to php_sqlite3.dll.
after adding php ext dir in php.ini, i also needed to add php dir to windows path (environment variables)
In your php.ini file,
find text=> extension=gd2
and make it ;extension=gd2
For windows 10 users, make open "XAMP" programe, then at apache click button "config"
then edit "php.ini".
#1- remove the semicolon (;) before this line
extension=php_gd.dll
#2- restart xamp
#Problem : when try to "composer update" print error:

- Root composer.json requires maatwebsite/excel ^3.1 -> satisfiable by maatwebsite/excel[3.1.0, ..., 3.1.x-dev.x-dev].
To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
- C:\xampp\php\php.ini
You can also run `php --ini` inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.
