PHP loading extensions error - php

I'm trying to get PHP to load some extensions (sqlsrv driver for PHP PDO).
I'm using a wamp server, With PHP 5.4, Apache 2.4.4.
In my PHP.ini file, i've entered the following line:
extension_dir = C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.16\ext
...
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_54.nts.dll
However in the apache error log, whenever I restart the apache service, I get the error message:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.16/ext/php_pdo_sqlsrv_54_nts.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0
Now, I know for a fact, this error is incorrect. If I copy the file location directly from the error log, (C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.16\ext\php_pdo_sqlsrv_54_nts.dll) and paste it into windows explorer, it finds the file fine.
I've added the ext directory to windows PATH environment variable, still no success.
Any ideas what to try next?
Thanks

Your problem is that you are trying to run a NTS 'Not Thread Safe' dll with a PHP that is 'Thread Safe', so initially try downloading the Thread Safe version of the sqlsrv DLL.
BIG NOTE and possibly your next problems solution:
As far as I know the sqlserver database interface dlls are only available as 32bit. So if you have installed the 64bit WAMPServer you will have to uninstall and install the 32bit WAMPServer.

PHP SQL connectivity

I have manually installed Apache and PHP on my server and it has to connect to the sql server 2012 for DB. My configurations are as below:
Apache 2.4.23 VC11 x64 installed on E:\
PHP 7.0.12 VC14 x64 installed on e:\
I have installed the srv dlls from the microsoft website.( SQLSRV40.exe). Also I have installed the msodbcsql dll and the sql native client (both 64bit) , but while I run these two .exe it gets installed on to the default path which is c:\
I have enabled the php_errors and I could see that php is working fine with the phpinfo() but on the phpinfo() i dont see the sql.dll files being picked up. More over the php_error file throws the error:
"[01-Nov-2016 12:14:58 UTC] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'E:/php/ext/php_sqlsrv_7_ts_x64.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
in Unknown on line 0
[01-Nov-2016 12:14:59 UTC] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'E:/php/ext/php_sqlsrv_7_ts_x64.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
in Unknown on line 0"
Am not able to figure out what went wrong, Could some one help me out, please
You can simply move the .dll files from C:\ to E:\php\ext\ (copy & paste).
Alternatively you can alter the path in the php.ini file which should also be in E:\php.
It might be helpful if you search for all files containing the text php_sqlsrv_7_ts_x64 then you know where they are actually loaded.

Datastax Cassandra PHP extension in WAMP

I am using WAMP with php v5.5.12.
Trying to install datastax php driver(https://github.com/datastax/php-driver).
1. I take the compiled dll file from here and put it in /ext folder
2. Add the extention=php_cassandra.dll to php.ini
3. Restarting WAMP server
I get this error in wamp php error log:
[28-Jan-2016 07:32:57 UTC] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/ext/php_cassandra.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
Also installed Pear package, but there are no changes.
Does anyone here experience with cassandra new driver on windows?
What can be the problem?
I could not either make the .dll found on the pecl php site work. Same error.
But the .dll found here works!
http://downloads.datastax.com/php-driver/windows/cassandra/
You will need to use the Thread Safe version (TS) and of course the one for PHP5.5. Also you need to use the x86 if you WAMPServer is the 32 bit and the x64 if WAMPServer is the 64bit version
That dll should be place into the \wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12\ext folder

PHP Warning at startup while trying to load php_oci8.dll

I'm using XAMPP and trying to configure Oracle connection for sql.
I uncommented the line extension=php_oci8.dll and at first it ended up with an error (that oci.dll is missing), but later I downloaded instantclient from Oracle web pages. I tried with versions 10.2, 11.2, and 12.1 but neither worked. Obviously I've added the path to those libraries to my PATH env variable.
The warning I'm getting at the startup of Apache is: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: in Unknown on line 0
The error when I'm trying to connect is: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function oci_connect() in ...
I've tried with php_oci8.dll and php_oci8_11g.dll. Those files are in my php/ext directory (they were included in xampp), my instantclient is added to PATH and the warning doesn't show up if I disable those modules. I've tried restarting services and computer.
Can you help me find a solution how to configure it correctly? I'm using Windows 8.1 with administrative privileges.
BTW. My phpinfo() says that OCI8 is activated (but functions like oci_connect still don't work).
EDIT: When I tried running PHP manually I finally got the error to display what was wrong: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\ext\php_oci8_11g.dll' - %1 is not a valid Win32 application. in Unknown on line 0 Can you help me find out where can I download a correct version?
There was a problem with 64bit version of instantclient. If you ever have the same issue, please install 32bit version of instantclient.
To be honest the easiest way is just to follow PROPER instructions: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/dsl/technote-php-instant-084410.html
I tried a lot of other advices and they all went really bad on me (not just because I used different bit version - also I copied the files everywhere following stupid advices and it was hard to correct it)
Its because your Oracle is 64 bit. Remove it and install a 32 bit version of Oracle client and it will work.
It looks like your extension are not install properly. Try to update it or reinstall it with pecl with
pecl install extname
You should also check extension_dir directive in php.ini and check if the PHP folder is added to the path
There's an alternate way to solve this: Install the full Oracle Client, not the basic zip, you can get it at oracle site (about 1Gb):
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/oracle12c-windows-3633015.html
Im using Windows 10, Apache 2.4, PHP 7.1 (all x64) and it works. Also tryed PHP 5.6 and it works too. Still use the php_oci8_11g.dll from the basic client zip to match your php and system version.
You can search the site to find older client versions (11g, 32bits, etc) but Im working with de 12c client and accessing an Oracle 11g enterprise server.
I found a lot of occurrencies of this same error all around, but none gave me this solution. Hope taht helps.

php_mcrypt extension for windows server 2008 R2

I found lots of articles about this problem, however none of them helped me.
Here is a I list of what I 've already tried:
uncomment the semicolon on php.ini
add the dependence file (libmcrypt.dll) on php folder, windows and
windows/system32
I 've restarted the IIS Server after each attempt
I cannot use this method, it was installed with a zip file.
On IIS Manager the extension is shown as enabled but checking the php error log I found this message multiple times:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.3\ext\php_mcrypt.dll' - %1 is not a valid Win32 application. in Unknown on line 0
Here is a the screenshot of phpinfo()
I have Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit with IIS 7.5 and PHP 5.3.10. Maybe the file (php_mcrytp.dll) is not the good one, where can I download it? On php site I cannot find the php_mcrytp.dll file under ext folder.
Thank you
If you downloaded PHP for Windows from php.net and are running the FastCGI version of PHP (as you should with PHP 5.3.x and IIS), mcrypt library is already compiled statically in the PHP engine. You don't need to install any extra DLL.
If you see the mcrypt section in phpinfo's output then it means mcrypt is already enabled (otherwise the mcrypt section would be missing).
And that's also the reason there is no mcrypt DLL.

MSSQL error (saying not enabled when it is) using WAMP / PHP 5.3.4

I am getting an error:
"Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'RuntimeException' with message 'The "mssql" extension is not loaded' in ..."
Though it is enabled. In php.ini (PHP version 5.3.4) it is uncommented out (no ;) before extension=php_mssql.dll and its showing up as checked off on the PHP extentions list in wamps system tray menu. What might be causing this?
Also semi related, I can't run php version 5.3.1. I downloaded and installed it but when i switch to it in wamp, the wamp system try stays yellow (instead of white indicating its ready to go). And no php loads anywhere / can't get to localhost or phpmyadmin at all. I tried to run 5.3.1 as a work around for this mssql error.
I am running WampServer Version 2.1 on a windows 7 64 bit box. This same exact setup works just fine on my windows XP (32-bit) box running 5.3.1.
Same issue. My apache log is showing
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.4/ext/php_mssql.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0.
I have the same issue with the ZIP module. The modules are legitimately not there.
I tried downgrading to PHP 5.3.1 from http://www.wampserver.com/en/addons_php.php, but then my Apache wouldn't start up at all; I'm guessing that was an x64/x86 issue.
Then tried copying the php_mssql.dll from 5.3.1 to my 5.3.4 directory, then restarting apache and it was just more fail with
PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.4/ext/php_mssql.dll' - %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
Installing WampServer 2.1e (the active build) but 32-bit to see if there were any differences. There were. This build packages PHP 5.3.5, which still doesn't include php_mssql.dll. BUT I was then able to use PHP 5.3.1 I had downloaded (apparently it is capable with this WAMP Build, whether because it's 2.1e or because 32-bit, I don't know or care).
So, the point of the story is that if you're trying to use WAMP Server with PHP's MSSQL extension, you're going to want Wamp Server 2.1e (32-bit, specifically) and PHP 5.3.1.
Also note, I still can't get the ZIP extension working with this setup, but luckily for me it's not essential to my current project.
Hope that helps someone.
