Hi, All🙂

I'm trying to use Apache+php4 to setup a web site on my Windows 98 notebook for developing web pages. I want to load the extensions including in php4 package and use some add-on functions in it (ex. mssql support).

I've tried many kinds of path of "extension_dir" (C:\php4 c:/php4 c:\windows\system d:\php4 d:/php4 d:\php4\extensions ....), but the situation doesn't change -- I just get a "Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\php4/php_db.dll' - Can't find dll files needed for executing the application", or something similiar.

Can someone tell me what's the problem?

Thanks in advanced.
I really need this to get my job done.

    I'm not 100% sure about this but try leaving the extension_dir blank - it worked for me with the same setup (though I copied the php add on dll's into my c:\windows\system directory as well as c:\php4)

      Thanks for your advice.
      I already find the solution - remember to add a '\' after extension_dir path. Ex. 'D:\php4\'.
      If I use 'D:\php4' then the system will mess up with '\' and '/', and try to find the extensions at 'D:\php4/', and of course there's no such directory.

      But I think this is so hard for me to figure it out🙁

          I'm having the same trouble with my extensions on WAMP.
          I've tried everything that has been suggested in the thread, but no luck.
          i'm trying to run php_sablot.dll.
          whenever i try to run a php page with that dll enabled, and i type Ctrl+Alt Delete, i can see that there are loads of Php applications running.
          I've tried just running other extension, but no luck
          do i need some library's or something?

              Hi there,

              I had the same problem on apache on win2k loading any module.
              I fixed that by copying libsasl.dll from php/dlls to the winnt/system32 directory. Everything works fine now!

              I hope this helps...

              Regards,
              Andreas
