Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Dynamic loading
Operating System: Windows
PHP Version: 4.3.2RC4
New Comment:
I too am having this problem. I have version 5.0.0 of php_gd2.dll, and
now PHP 4.3.8.8 (having uninstalled 4.3.4 and installed this to try and
fix the problem). My system has XP Pro with IIS 5.1.2600.1
The only php*.dll files I have on my machine are php4ts and php_gd2.
Whenever I try and call the image functions I get the same error:
'Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\php_gd2.dll' - The
specified module could not be found'. The file is at this location. I
also get a similar error when I try and register the DLL with regsvr32
on the command line, which leads me to suspect that it's something to
do with the DLL and not how PHP uses it, or potentially a Windows
configuration issue. Also, I've tried putting the DLL in various
locations and no joy. Any ideas anyone??

I am a stupid idiot/dolt person.
Gahh.
I found that there were php4ts.dll/php4apache.dlls in my apache
executable directory that were out of date.
Updated them and the the problem disappeared.
Let this be a lesson.. search for *.dll!

I am getting this bug as well, I am aware this one has been declared
bogus, but I am curious.
I have found that php_gd2.dll and php_sockets.dll will not load at all
in the latest version of PHP (4.3.2), but if I take the modules from
PHP 4.3.0, they will both load using PHP 4.3.2.
I have made sure these are the only copies avaliable in the path, and I
have tried as many locations to put these DLLs as you care to think of,
but they still won't load.
Since the problem only seems to occour when I try to use the latest
DLLs, doens't that mean something is wrong with the DLLs?
To my knowledge, I have followed the install instructions quite
carefully, and I am certain that all of the relevent (PHP) DLLs have
been updated on my system to version 4.3.2. I have spent quite a while
puzzling over this.
I'm running Apache 1.3.7 and PHP 4.3.2 on Windows XP Pro Sp1.
A friend of mine found that PHP wouldn't load on his system either if
he tried to use the most recent gd2.dll.

*puts head down with sheepish grin*
For some reason or another our sysadmin had a copy of the dll's in
c:\windows and c:\windows\system32. Once I deleted those from
c:\windows and updated those in c:\windows\system32
all was well.
Sorry for the inconvenience, appreciate the support

I am still having the problem with multiple Windows machine, with
different configurations. In all cases, the gd2.dll loads with php
4.3.1, however when I upgrade to the RC 4.3.2 gd2 cannot load.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance

This is *NOT* a configuration problem. Using 4.3.1, without changing
my configuration file, paths, or anything else (just the appropriate
dll's), it works - gd2 extension loads. When I change to the 4.3.2
RC4 code, it does not work. This is using the exact same machine, web
server, configuration, etc.
