Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/module.so' - php

When I run the command
php -v
this error comes up
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/module.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Feb 22 2013 02:37:06)

This is cause by mcrypt extension.
Edit /etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini
and change
; Enable mcrypt extension module
extension=module.so
to this
; Enable mcrypt extension module
extension=mcrypt.so
Edit:
mini
If the directory /etc/php.d does not exist – it seems You don`t have php installed or file mcrypt.ini is in different location. Try work around.

PHP7.2 unable to load rdkafka

I need to install rdkafka on Ubuntu20 with Apache2 web server for a Laravel project. The PHP version is 7.2. I followed the documentation in Official Link and it finally shows
Installing '/usr/lib/php/20200930/rdkafka.so'
Now I see the warning
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'rdkafka.so' (tried: /usr/lib/php/20170718/rdkafka.so (/usr/lib/php/20170718/rdkafka.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), /usr/lib/php/20170718/rdkafka.so.so (/usr/lib/php/20170718/rdkafka.so.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on line 0
The command php -i | grep extension_dir gives me
extension_dir => /usr/lib/php/20170718 => /usr/lib/php/20170718
It seems the rdkafka.so is installed inside a directory where PHP7.2 doesn't load its modules. If I manually move the rdkafka.so from /usr/lib/php/20200930 to /usr/lib/php/20170718 - as documentation suggested - it reports the error
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'rdkafka.so' (tried: /usr/lib/php/20170718/rdkafka.so (/usr/lib/php/20170718/rdkafka.so: undefined symbol: zend_string_init_interned), /usr/lib/php/20170718/rdkafka.so.so (/usr/lib/php/20170718/rdkafka.so.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on line 0 PHP 7.2.34-24+ubuntu20.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 (cli) (built: Aug 26 2021 15:55:49) ( NTS )
The error undefined symbol: zend_string_init_interned shows up.
What shall I do?
Thanks in advance.
I solved the problem by install php7.2-dev which contains phpize7.2 and uninstalling php*-dev to make sure only phpize and phpize7.2 are installed. Then it installed the rdkafka in the right directory.

Even though several other answers suggest it, installing more unnecessary software is generally not the best solution. Instead, you should fix the underlying problem. The reason these messages appear is because you are trying to load those extensions, but they are not installed. So the easy solution is simply to tell PHP to stop trying to load them:
First, find out which files are trying to load the above extensions:
$ grep -Hrv ";" /etc/php5 | grep -E "extension(\s+)?="
Example output for Ubuntu:
/etc/php5/mods-available/gd.ini:extension=gd.so
/etc/php5/mods-available/pdo_sqlite.ini:extension=pdo_sqlite.so
/etc/php5/mods-available/pdo.ini:extension=pdo.so
/etc/php5/mods-available/pdo_mysql.ini:extension=pdo_mysql.so
/etc/php5/mods-available/mysqli.ini:extension=mysqli.so
/etc/php5/mods-available/mysql.ini:extension=mysql.so
/etc/php5/mods-available/curl.ini:extension=curl.so
/etc/php5/mods-available/sqlite3.ini:extension=sqlite3.so
/etc/php5/conf.d/mcrypt.ini:extension=mcrypt.so
/etc/php5/conf.d/imagick.ini:extension=imagick.so
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini:extension=http.so
Now just find the files that are loading the extensions that are causing the errors and comment out those lines with a ;. For some reason this happened to me with the default install of Ubuntu, so hopefully this helps someone else.
sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
...etc resolved it for me :)
hope it helps
Look /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/ and delete corresponding *.ini files. This error happens when you remove some php packages not so cleanly.
Seems like you upgraded PHP to newer version and old .ini files are still pointing to old location.
The solution: find out where are modules located now
ls -l /usr/lib/php5
There should be a directory similar to old 20090626. In my case it is now 20131226
The .ini files giving you an error are located at /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/
Just edit those .ini files which module gives you an error. For example, in case the error is for mcrypt module:
sudo vi /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-mcrypt.ini
Change the line:
extension=/usr/lib/php5/20090626/mcrypt.so
to reflect the new path for .so file. In my case the correct path should be:
extension=/usr/lib/php5/20131226/mcrypt.so
That's it! The error is gone. Ofc you'd have to do it with each module giving you an error.
If you put the ; symbol, this action inactive the extension.
I had the same problem and did the following:
Uninstall php with purge parameter:
sudo apt-get --purge remove php5-common
And install again:
sudo apt-get install php5 php5-mysql
My problem was solved by the following command
sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt
I have
PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4 with Suhosin-Patch (cli)
Ubuntu Desktop 12.04
Mysql 5.5
I found this solution by blog.tordeu.com, and it's
sudo aptitude purge php5-suhosin
I'm not sure, but it seems that the suhosin is no longer needed, it worked for my, my PHP version:
PHP 5.4.34-1+deb.sury.org~lucid+1 (cli) (built: Oct 17 2014 15:26:51)
Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Zend Technologies
If you are using 5.6 php,
sudo apt-get install php5.6-curl
Somehow the gmp.so file seems to have been deleted from my system. This is what fixed it for me:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall php5-gmp
Well for Ubuntu 14.04 I was getting that error just for mcrypt:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20121212/mcrypt.ini' - /usr/lib/php5/20121212/mcrypt.ini: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
If you have a closer look at the error, php is looking for mcrypt.ini and not for mcrypt.so at that location. I just copy mcrypt.so to mcrypt.ini and that's it, the warning is gone and the extension now is properly installed. It might look a bit dirty but it worked!
I had enabled the extension_dir in php.ini by uncommenting,
extension_dir = "ext"
extension=phpchartdir550.dll
and copying phpchartdir550 dll to the extension_dir (/usr/lib/php5/20121212), resulted in the same error.
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext/phpchartdir550.dll' - ext/phpchartdir550.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext/gd.so' - ext/gd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
As #Mike pointed out, it is not necessary to install all the stuff when they are not actually required in the application.
The easier way is to provide the full path to the extensions to be loaded after copying the libraries to the correct location.
Copy phpchartdir550.dll to /usr/lib/php5/20121212, which is the extension_dir in my Ubuntu 14.04 (this can be seen using phpinfo())
and then provide full path to the library in php.ini,
; extension=/path/to/extension/msql.so
extension=/usr/lib/php5/20121212/phpchartdir550.dll
restart apache: sudo service apache2 restart
even though other .so's are present in the same directory, only the required ones can be selectively loaded.
I had a similar problem, which led me here:
$ phpunit --version

I had the same problem, but none of the answers above solved that. Here is how I solved the problem.
Open your php.ini file (mine was in /etc/php/7.3/cli/php.ini).
You may have something like this:
extension=pdo_mysql
Or maybe:
extension=/here/is/the/path/to/your/file/pdo_mysql.so
Add the following line before extension=pdo_mysql
extension=pdo
So, you will have:
extension=pdo
extension=pdo_mysql
It seems that the problem is (at least in my case) that we need to load pdo extension first to load the pdo_mysql extension.
Hope that helps!

Warning, when I run a PHP script

When I run a php script in console, I'm getting a following warning:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626/php_mcrypt.dll' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626/php_mcrypt.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

The PHP script is correct, because it works on other comuputers.

Check your php.ini currently you are trying to load a windows extension on a linux server.
Have a look in the folder /etc/php5/apache2/ for any file with a name like mcrypt and see if it references a dll file. If so, delete that file and restart apache
If you have ubuntu then sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt will enable mcrypt for you

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library

I am trying to use Firebird 2.5.2.26539 with:
Windows 8
Apache 2.2.22
PHP 5.4.10
When i enable the extensions of firebird in php:
- extension=php_interbase.dll
- extension=php_pdo_firebird.dll
I get these errors:
[26-Dec-2012 12:08:11 UTC] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\ext\php_interbase.dll' - Impossible to locate the specified module.
in Unknown on line 0
[26-Dec-2012 12:08:13 UTC] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\ext\php_pdo_firebird.dll' - Impossible to locate the specified module.
in Unknown on line 0
if i make PHP -a in command line, the error message is different: cannot find fbclient.dll.
I have the flamerobin running and it opens the database. So i copy the fbclient.dll to the PHP root path.
Then the errors change to:
[26-Dec-2012 11:55:46 UTC] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\ext\php_interbase.dll' - %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

in Unknown on line 0
Can anyone help me on this one? I suspect that this version of Firebird still does not have the correct extensions made for the PHP.
Thank you.
I am repeating the comment (which some might miss) by Nenhum Pois é above, because it is the real solution to the problem:
The problem was the fbclient.dll from the FB 64 bits installation. I just got the fbclient.dll from 32bits, copy it into the PHP root and it solved the problem
Cli and Apache PHP run with two different configuration files. That will explain the lacking error message in CLI mode. The likelihood is the extensions for this application where not stored in the PHP extension folder. I'm not versed with the configurations under windows so you may need to google for the Windows PHP extension directory and ensure your extension file is there.
Judging by your error the path is "C:\Program files(x86)\PHP\ext\
Please ensure your extension files are there before attempting to load them.
If you run on Windows check if your extension is compiled with the same Visual Studio compiler version as your PHP interpreter.
From PHP download page https://windows.php.net/download
PHP 7.3 = VC15
PHP 7.1 = VC14
PHP 5.6 = VC11
Whereas the MongoDB extension for examples is compiled with VC11, see https://pecl.php.net/package/mongo/1.6.16/windows and check the DLL list filename for -vc11-
