I run a PHP script and get this error:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/ixed.5.2.lin' - /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/ixed.5.2.lin: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
What does that mean?
It means there is an extension=... or zend_extension=... line in one of your php configuration files (php.ini, or another close to it) that is trying to load that extension : ixed.5.2.lin
Unfortunately that file or path doesn't exist or the permissions are incorrect.
Try to search in the .ini files that are loaded by PHP (phpinfo() can indicate which ones are) - one of them should try to load that extension.
Either correct the path to the file or comment out the corresponding line.
If you're on Linux, you can find all loaded configuration files by typing this in shell:
php -r "print phpinfo();" | grep ".ini"
UPDATE:
As mentioned in comments, this can be even more accurate:
php -i | grep ini
phpStom with XAMPP
TL;DR Except from verifying that the files exist, you might need to add the drive letter to some records in your php.ini file
I suddenly started having a problem using phpStorm 7 for debugging php with xampp and xdebug. When trying to set intellij interperter to be xampps php I got a lot of the warnings like the one in the question, for example:
Unable to load dynamic library '/xampp/php/ext/php_bz2.dll'
For some reason I had to add my drive letter to the records of extension_dir and browscap in the php.ini file:
extension_dir = "\xampp\php\ext"
browscap = "\xampp\php\extras\browscap.ini"
to
extension_dir = "e:\xampp\php\ext"
browscap = "e:\xampp\php\extras\browscap.ini"
If you just want to make the error disappear, and you don't need the extension, then by all means comment the line out in php.ini. But if you actually want to fix the problem here is some additional info.
There are various causes for this based on the exact module, but there are also some general guidelines.
Open phpinfo() and look for extension_dir under the Core section. This is where your modules should be located.
For instance, /usr/lib/php/modules for Unix/Linux.
If the file does in fact exist, make sure permissions are adequate.
If the file does not exist, use the resources below to install it.

Loading .dll in Linux
I've encountered this warning message while I was trying to install a php-extension via the php.ini file;
until I figured out that you cannot load .dll extensions in Linux,
but you have to comment the extensions that you want to import ;extension= ... .dll and install it correctly via sudo apt-get install php-...
note: ... is the extension name you want to enable.
php -r "echo php_ini_loaded_file();"
Will show in CLI current ini loaded file, search there for Your extension, path to it is incorrect.
In my case, this message started to appear when I updated the php version to 7.4.
To solve it I had to look for the php.ini files found inside the php version folder (/etc/php/7.4/apache2/ && /etc/php/7.4/cli/) checking the lines where the extensions I could see that the extensions gd2 and intl were uncommented.
Note that you can also get this error if your PHP library doesn't have the "other" directory opening permission. In my particular case, I noticed this when using php -l to syntax check a script in my text editor. This meant that since my account was called "volomike", that account didn't have permission to run the libraries that the php command relied upon.
For instance, on Ubuntu 14.04, I had PHP5 installed automatically into the path /usr/lib/php5/20121212+lfs. However, because I was working in C++ in building some shared objects, I messed around with the directory permissions and screwed things up such that non-root accounts did not have the directory execute (directory open) permissions to view /usr/lib/php5/20121212+lfs. So, I typed the following command to rectify that problem:
sudo chmod o+x /usr/lib/php5/20121212+lfs.
Now when I do php -l example.php as a non-root user, it never gives me this "Unabled to load dynamic library" problem anymore.
I had the same problem on XAMPP for Windows when I try to install composer.
I did php -v and php throwing error :
Unable to load dynamic library '/xampp/php/ext/php_bz2.dll'
It took me a while until I realized that I need to setup my XAMPP. So I run setup_xampp.bat and php return to works like a charm.
I had this error on a number of modules when I had been running different versions of PHP side by side on my server. To sort this out, I needed to install the packages it couldn't find for that specific PHP version. So, for example, if I saw:-
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/20160303/xml.so'
I would install the library for the PHP version specifically:-
sudo apt-get install php7.1-xml
And then restart Apache. Fixed it for me. You can check your version like this:-
php -v
I had the same problem on XAMPP for Windows10 when I try to install composer.
Unable to load dynamic library '/xampp/php/ext/php_bz2.dll'
Then follow this steps
just open your current_xampp_containing_drive:\xampp(default_xampp_folder)\php\php.ini in texteditor (like notepad++)
now just find - is the current_xampp_containing_drive:\xampp exist?
if not then find the "extension_dir" and get the drive name(c,d or your desired drive) like.
extension_dir="F:\xampp731\php\ext" (here finded_drive_name_from_the_file is F)
again replace with finded_drive_name_from_the_file:\xampp with current_xampp_containing_drive:\xampp and save.
now again start the composer installation progress, i think your problem will be solved.
What I did was;
1 - I first find out what version of PHP I am using thru the function phpinfo()
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
2 - From there you will find the location of your configuration(php.ini) file
3 - Open that file
4 - Comment out the line similar to the image below
This might be a different value but it should be related to extension.
I am no expert but this process helped me solved similar problem.
In my case I got this error because I downloaded a thread-safe version of the dll (infixed with -ts-), but my installation of php was a non-thread-safe (infixed with -nts-). Downloading the right version of the dll, exactly matching my php installation version fixed the issue.
After Windows 10 XAMPP now I installed LAMPP (XAMPP) on Ubuntu. Windows XAMPP had a lot less to configure compare to MAC (iOS) but now with Linux Ubuntu I had a few more since there are more going in Linux (a good thing).
I confused and activated mysqli.dll (and mysql.dll: erase "#" in /etc/php/7.2/cli/php.ini
I started to get the PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library message related to dll. I commented out mysql(and i).dll in the same file but the message didn't go away up until I commented out " " in /opt/lampp/etc/php.ini.
Looks like XAMPP reads php.ini file from /etc/php/7.2/cli and makes modification in php.ini of /opt/lampp/etc. (;extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll after ";" restarted Apache and no more any message.
I encountered a similar error. The mistake I made was to use the "controller" name as "Pages" instead of "pages" in my url.
In Windows, it could be a wrong path in "System environment variables".
"Path" to the php.exe directory must be the good one.
'C:/PHP/5.2.13/ext\php_mcrypt1.dll'
I'd say there's some typo on your php.ini (the extra 1). Perhaps you're loading a different php.ini from what you expect (see the output of php.ini to make sure).
Other than that make sure that php_mcrypt.dll and PHP:
Were linked to the same VC runtime library (typically msvcrt.dll for VC6 or msvcrt90.dll for VC9) – use e.g. the dependency walker for this
Are both debug builds or both release builds
Both have ZTS enabled or ZTS disabled
For libraries that depend on further libraries (DLLs), make sure they are available (e.g. in the same directory as the extension)
PHP should give you meaning errors if any of the first three conditions above is not satisfied, but I wrote those anyway because I'm not sure for PHP 5.2.
From C:\xampp\php\php.exe I got
Unable to load dynamic library ''
C:\xampp\php\ext\php_.dll (The specified module could not be found.)
I solved by commenting out
C:\xampp\php\php.ini
;extension=
I had the same problem when I tried to use php with sql server, when I added the sqlsrv libraries ... it gave me the error, after several days of researching there, I understood that microsoft does not support x64 in this case so what I did was install laragon x86 and use the corresponding libraries. I hope it helps with something
Go to system env variable and set the php ext dir path as
C:\xampp\php\ext
basically it's finding the ext directory and then locating it's file but it's unable to find the files becuase php path is set as different.
I know there's tons of topics about my problem, but I can't find a solution.
I'm using wamp and I've changed my version of PHP from 5.5.12 to 5.6.16, then when I go to localhost/phpmyadmin i have this error displayed :
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in
C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin4.1.14\libraries\php-gettext\gettext.inc on
line 177
So I update phpMyAdmin from 4.1.14 to 4.5.2.
And I have this **** error:
phpMyAdmin - Error The mbstring extension is missing. Please check
your PHP configuration.
My php.ini, phpForApache.ini is configured, I have un-commented the extension, set extension_dir to C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.16\ext, I stumbled on many topics/forum but none of the solution works.
Do you have any idea?
Please check #36254548
Copying the php.ini file to "wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin" has solved my problem.
Sometimes the extensions directory is well pointed to, the dll files have been uncommented but it still doesn't work.
The next solution to use, that is if your extensions directory is correct and dll files for the mbstring has been uncommented, then copy the php.ini file and paste it into the windows directory (i.e. C:\Windows).
You then restart your wamp/xampp and it will work.
check your php.ini file. In the extensions part of the configuration you should find:
;extension=php_mbstring.dll
remove the leading ';' to uncomment and enable the extension so it looks like this:
extension=php_mbstring.dll
restart your apache and it should work.
I faced the same issue when I start wamp, suddenly my project was not working and when I check the phpmyadmin, it gives the same above error.
My debugging process found php.ini file is missing. However I already installed two PHP versions, 5.6.19 and 7.0.4. I changed the version to 7.0.4 and then re-changed to 5.6.19. It started work.
What I guess, while changing the version, all the configuration files getting re-installed in wamp folder.
I run a PHP script and get this error:

I am having below error when I try to implement google and facebook authentication in windows 7 using wamp server.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in
E:\wamp\www\mysite\protected\extensions\eauth\EAuthServiceBase.php
on line 273
I am using,
wampserver 2.2
php version 5.3.13
I have enabled php_curl module as well. I checked in php.ini for confirm and it is uncommented as below.
;extension=php_bz2.dll
extension=php_curl.dll
;extension=php_dba.dll
The code has worked in ubuntu with xampp, but not in wamp in windows. I have done everything I can find. I have tried replacing the php_curl.dll also according to the comment on this thread, Call to undefined function curl_init() - with WAMP
My phpinfo() looks like below.
I have installed wamp in the partition E:\, but the "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" seems different, it is C:\Windows.
Please help me to fix the issue.
Visit this and have a file under Fixed curl extensions:
http://www.anindya.com/php-5-4-3-and-php-5-3-13-x64-64-bit-for-windows/
after download and replace related file then restart server.
In browser navigate to localhost and make sure there is curl extensions showing under Loaded Extensions :
For WAMP running PHP 5.4.3 on Windows 7 64 bit, make sure you use php_curl-5.4.3-VC9-x64.zip NOT php_curl-5.4.3-nts-VC9-x64.zip.
In windows 7 with PHP 5.5.31 after check that php_curl.dll extension is enabled (and still doesnt working), work for me to copy libeay32.dll and libssh2.dll from php directory to Apache bin.
just a guess - this section in php.ini does not reference the correct location
; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = *some value*
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.extension-dir
edit
Also, look for this block in your phpinfo, if it's not there, curl isn't loading (obviously). You're not looking for matching version numbers - just for the block's existence.
edit
look at this question also
PHP and CURL under Windows 7 64 bits and Apache
When using WAMP..
You should have one file php.ini in the main PHP directory
In the php.ini enable the extension extension=php_curl.dll, by removing the ; char
The extension_dir must look like this example: extension_dir = "D:\AMP\PHP\ext\", so not a relative path
You need to restart Apache server only once. No need to restart it many times
Just make sure, you have the php_curl.dll in the ext directory
(windows 10 user)
Since this is the first result in Google and I had exactly the same problem and none of your solutions worked for me and I finally find the correct solution in an other thread of stackoverflow, I'll post link here :
EasyPHP Devserver 16.1 Curl Win 10
The solution is to add the your current PHP directory (depend of which version you use) to your global "path" variable in windows (like explained in the link, but you don't need to add all php directorias of course)
Not sure where to put my experience, hope it will be useful for someone.
In my case (win7 x64 + apache 2.4 + php 7.2), curl extension was enabled in php.ini but did not load. Resolved by replacing libs libssl-1_1-x64.dll and libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll in Apache's bin folder with the latest builds of OpenSSL
For those running PHP 7+ on windows, there is no php.ini file in the php directory by default.
You need to:
create a php.ini file in your PHP directory (it should be under C:\php\, or wherever your php directory is located)
Copy the content of either php.ini-development or php.ini-production into the php.ini file you've created.
Finally remove the semicolon (;) before extension=curl
Change the extention in php.ini file uncomment by removing ; like below
;extension=php_bz2.dll
extension=php_curl.dll
;extension=php_dba.dll
Then restart all services and it will work.
I have followed all the instructions here: http://www.tonyspencer.com/2003/10/22/curl-with-php-and-apache-on-windows/
to install & config apache
get the PHP5 packages
and get the CURL packages.
I run the apache and run a PHP script. no problem.
but when I run the php script with curl, it fails.
It returns: **Call to undefined function curl_version() in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\testing.php on line 5**
In which line 5 is a called to curl_init()
I output the php -i to see whether the right path to extension is called. It is correctly set:
extension_dir => C:\PHP\ext => C:\PHP\ext
cURL support => enabled
cURL Information => libcurl/7.16.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8g zlib/1.2.3
I even tried to run curl_version() but still, same kind of error comes up.
It looks like the PHP can't find the CURL extension, but the php.ini (and also php -i) shows that it is set.
any idea? :)
P.S> System I m running on:
Windows XP
Apache 2.2
PHP 5.2.6
CURL Win32 Generic Binaries: Win32 2000/XP metalink 7.19.0 binary SSL enabled Daniel Stenberg 249 KB
I didn't get this:
Win32 2000/XP 7.19.0 libcurl SSL enabled Günter Knauf 1.55 MB
Should I get this one instead?
The reason I need to use CURL is that it is the requirement from my project. So, I can only stick with that.
XAMPP... how does it work in Windows? Is there any site that you can recommend? Thanks.
I have tried a lot of things on installing cURL and check everything, but still, I'm stilling circling around the problem and have no idea what's going on.
The Apache server uses the right PHP.ini. and the PHP.ini has the correct extension_dir and extension=php_curl.dll
I have no idea why it doesn't work. even I follow every step for setting it up. :(
Use the following steps to install curl:
Open https://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz?type=bin in a browser.
Select your operating system in the dropdown box: either Windows /Win32 or Win 64. Click Select!
For Win 32, choose whether you will use curl in a Windows Command Prompt (Generic) or in a Cygwin terminal (cygwin). For Win 64, choose whether you will use curl in a Windows Command Prompt (Generic) or MinGW (MinGW64). Click Select!
If required, choose your Windows operating system. Finish.
Click Download for the version which has SSL enabled or disabled
Open the downloaded zip file. Extract the files to an easy-to-find place, such as C:\Program Files.
Testing curl
Open up the Windows Command Prompt terminal. (From the Start menu, click Run, then type cmd.)
Set the path to include the directory where you put curl.exe. For example, if you put it in C:\Program Files\curl, then you would type the following command:
set path=%path%;"c:\Program Files\curl"
NOTE: You can also directly copy the curl.exe file any existing path in your path
Type curl.
You should see the following message:
curl: try 'curl –help' or 'curl –message' for more information
This means that curl is installed and the path is correct.
You're probably mistaking what PHP.ini you need to edit. first, add a PHPinfo(); to a info.php, and run it from your browser.
Write down the PHP ini directory path you see in the variables list now!
You will probably notice that it's different from your PHP-CLI ini file.
Enable the extension
You're done :-)
I'm using XAMPP, in which there are several php.ini files.
You can find the line in the php.ini files:
;extension=php_curl.dll
Please remove ; at the beginning of this line. And you may need to restart apache server.
I had also problems with this. After all these steps made correctly and some fixed misunderstandings (there is no extensions_dir but extension_dir, and there is no sessions.save_path but session.save_path) nothing works.
Finally I found this note at php.net:
Note: Note to Win32 Users:
In order to enable this module on a Windows environment, libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll must be present in your PATH. You don't need libcurl.dll from the cURL site.
So I copied ssleay32.dll, libeay32.dll & php_curl.dll From /PHP to Windows/system32 and replaced already existing files (I noticed there were older versions of ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll). After that I found CURL section in php_info(); and finally everything works.
Good luck!
Another answer for other people who have had this problem
when you un comment the extension line, change it to:
extension=C:/php/ext/php_curl.dll
or the location of the extension folder, for me it did not work until i did this
I recently installed Curl on PHP5 for Windows Vista. I did not enable the CURL library when I initially installed PHP5, so nothing about Curl was showing up in phpinfo() or php.ini.
I installed CURL by re-running the PHP5 installer (php-5.2.8-win32-installer.msi for me) and choosing "Change". Then, I added the CURL component. Restart Apache, and CURL should work. CURL will show up in phpinfo(). Also, here is a sample script you can run to verify it works. It displays an RSS feed from Google:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Note: Note to Win32 Users
In order to enable this module (cURL) on a Windows environment, libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll must be present in your PATH. You don't need libcurl.dll from the cURL site.
This note solved my problem. Thought of sharing. libeay32.dll & ssleay.dll you will find in your php installation folder.
I agree with Erroid, you must add PHP directory into PATH environment.
PATH=%PATH%;<Your_PHP_Path>
Example
PATH=%PATH%;C:\php
It worked for me. Thank you.
You may find XAMPP at http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

Yes, there are 3 php.ini files after installation, one is for php4, one is for php5, and one is for apache. Please modify them accordingly.
I solved the problem.
In my apache, I have to specify:
PHPIniDir "C://php"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
and for php.ini, instead of using the php.ini_recommend, use php.ini_dist to configure my php.ini.
then make sure the php engine has turned on.
then it works now. Thanks all.
You can use binary file of curl .download file from here :
http://www.paehl.com/open_source/?CURL_7.22.0
Download the file and after extract put in to any drive and set the absolute path into environment now you can also use curl as a command in windows. like
c:\curl -u user#example.com:password http://localhost:3000/user/sign_in
You can also use CygWin and install the cURL package. It works very well and flawlessly!!
I have tried everything - but nothing helped. After searching for several hours I found this information:
Apache 2.4.18 for some reason does not load php 7.2 curl. I updated my
Apache to 2.4.29 and curl loaded instantly

What should I say: I updated Apache and curl was running like charm
