Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP.

They are usual in the PHP directory. --> add the PHP directory to the (system) PATH environment variable. (Maybe a restart is required).

It relates to loading extension dll files. I can load the extension "php_gd2.dll", but if I try to load any of "php_mysql.dll", "php_mysqli.dll" or "php_mcrypt.dll" When I start apache (which attempts to load php as a module) I get a pop-up saying: "PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\server\php\ext\php_mcrypt.dll' - The specified module could not be found" Similar messages appear for the other two mysql dll files also. Then a second series of three identical popups is displayed. Apache still runs, and php is available, but as soon as, for example mysql is accessed in a script I get the familiar "Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect()..." Importantly, all four of these files are within the same directory which I can guarantee is that referred to by my php.ini file. And seeing as php_gd2.dll is accessed, one would assume that the extension_dir value is correctly set. Interestingly these errors only occur when using php via apache. That is, if I run "php -i" from the command line, no such error occurs. Comparing the output from php -i to that of the <?php phpinfo(); ?> command (accessed via apache) I can see that the value of "extension_dir" and "Loaded configuration File" show exactly the same values in both. However the "php -i" version contains a mysql and mysqli section whereas the webpage version does not. I've been playing with this for literally days now, and would REALLY love a solution. My software versions are as follows: PHP 5.2.9-2 (cli) (built: Apr 9 2009 08:23:19) Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 Zend Technologies Apache Server version: Apache/2.2.11 (Win32) Server built: Dec 10 2008 00:10:06 Mysql (not that I think it matters) mysqld Ver 5.1.34-community for Win32 on ia32 (MySQL Community Server (GPL)) Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3 Will be happy to provide any further information.
