Status: Bogus
Bug Type: *Configuration Issues
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP
PHP Version: 5.0.0
New Comment:
Make that six users with the same problem. I've searched the bug
database, the net, newsgroups, and found no resolution to this issue,
other than PHP developers declaring it bogus.
Well, I've got my path updated, and the following set in my php.ini:
extension_dir = ".;c:/php/ext/"
I'm still getting the same issue as described above. This is either a
bug with PHP or a bug with the documentation.

Who set the status to 'Bogus'? Why?
I pretended that the current installation of PHP 5.0.0. does not
install PEAR DB?
5 users claimed that they could reproduce the bug.
The suggested solutions consisted in moving files around on a computer
to places where "it might work". The solutions only claim to "solve the
problem", but do not claim that there is no problem.
Somebody else suggests that I change the system path.
But I did add the following system variables already:
"PHP_PEAR_SYSCONF_DIR"="C:\\php"
"PHP_PEAR_INSTALL_DIR"="C:\\php\\pear"
"PHP_PEAR_DOC_DIR"="C:\\php\\pear\\docs"
"PHP_PEAR_BIN_DIR"="C:\\php"
"PHP_PEAR_DATA_DIR"="C:\\php\\pear\\data"
"PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN"="C:\\php\\php.exe"
"PHP_PEAR_TEST_DIR"="C:\\php\\pear\\tests"
Do these environment variables have no effect?
I start to believe that PHP is a tool for hackers only, and that the
need of a controlled installation procedure is not present in the mind
of the PHP community.
This is really sad, as I like PHP a lot.

I am having the issues as well. My php_mysql.dll is located in c:\php
and php.ini knows this. I've moved libmysql.dll to c:\windows\system32
as well. On top of this all, the extension=php_mysql.dll in php.ini has
been uncommented.
Yet, I get errors when I try to have mysql/php things loaded in my
webpage. It comes up with 'Unable to load dynamic library
'c:\php\php_mysql.dll\' - The specified procedure could not be found'.
I've tried the suggestions like php_mysql.dll to c:\windows\system32
and all the stuff. Even moved libmysql.dll to various places, but
nothing worked. I am kind of stumped here, looks like there's some
heavy bug in there.

Either add c:\php to your system path, or copy all dlls from that
folder to system32.

I solved the problem by copying the file "libmysql.dll" from the php5
root to the win/system32 library - I have no idea why this works but
stumpled upon the suggestion on a website!

After the installation on WindowsXP/IIS of PHP 5.0.0 (stable) in
c:\PHP\ and configuring the php.ini with:
extension_dir = "c:\PHP\ext"
I receive the following message:
"PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'c:\PHP\ext\php_EXTENSIONNAME.dll' - The specified module could not be
found"
for all extensions except:
php_bz2.dll
php_cpdf.dll
php_curl.dll
php_dba.dll
php_dbase.dll
php_dbx.dll
php_filepro.dll
php_gd2.dll
php_gettext.dll
php_imap.dll
php_ldap.dll
php_mbstring.dll
php_mime_magic.dll
php_ming.dll
php_mysqli.dll
php_openssl.dll
php_oracle.dll
php_pgsql.dll
php_shmop.dll
php_snmp.dll
php_sockets.dll
php_tidy.dll
php_xmlrpc.dll
php_xsl.dll
All the other extensions result in the error above (of course, some of
them cannot be loaded because of 3rd-parties dll missing like with oci8
but what about php_mysql.dll, php_mysqli.dll, ...)
