hm... Seems I can't actually edit this. I think we need some work doing on this bug reporting system! No redirect after post? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-30 02:52:05] andy at haveland dot com When upgrading using the php-5.2.3-Win32.zip file and after checking and migrating php.ini from php.ini-dist.txt this error reappeared: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library './ext\php_exif.dll' - The specified module could not be found. The solution (hack) is to put php_mbstring.dll before php_exif.dll, and make sure that this is the case (perhaps with a mention) in php.ini-dist and php.ini-recommended and NOT to just sort the list of extensions without due regard to dependencies! The error message is also very confusing - all other modules loaded successfully from the ext dir implying that php_exif.dll can't be found even when it is also in the same dir. The init routine should ideally collect all the enabled modules, check dependencies and then report an error if not satisfied, and actually mention which is the *real* module that couldn't be found. Also, in the ini files, extension_dir = "./ext" should be default, to match the path in the distribution package. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-30 02:45:12] andy at haveland dot com Description: ------------ When upgrading from the php-5.2.3-Win32.zip and after checking and migrating php.ini from php.ini-dist.txt this error reappears: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library './ext\php_exif.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
