ID: 9266 Updated by: irc-html Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: Analyzed Old Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: WinMe, Win98, Win2000 PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 New Comment:
The extensions are all (mostly) listed in a table at http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php#install.windows.extensions which also lists if the extension is dependent upon a specific library (another dll). Most of the extension documentation also lists 'You need xxx to use this extension', or 'In order to use this extension you need to install xxx', etc. I think it is clearly documented in the manual. A possibility would be to improve the error message, perhaps 'php_xxx.dll: This extension requires xxx library installed', something simliar would be helpful. Changing to feature request. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-06 13:18:40] [EMAIL PROTECTED] so better documentation is needed for extensions that rely on external libraries. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-02-14 20:07:11] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes, a more detailed error message, or/and two more lines in the manual could have saved me some time. And maybe it would for others too. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-02-14 16:49:32] [EMAIL PROTECTED] all of theese extensions depend on other DLLs being installed on your system like, for example, sybase_ct client DLLs (this is the native sybase call interface, _not_ the ODBC stuff) maybe we could improve the error message?

(moved to feature request) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-02-14 16:41:08] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I spent almost 2 day trying to figure out how to load the sybase extension under windows. I tried everything I could, but 14 of the extensions would not load under WinMe, Win98, Win2000, with any combination of apache, pws, iis. The extension_dir is just set all fine, and the rest of the extensions load and function well. I only wanted to get some data from a sybase db. I could actually solve it with ODBC, but I still thought it's not the real way. I discussed this problem on the local php mailing list, everyone knew it, noone knew why. I searched through the php manual and the rest of the web just to find a fraction of information that could be helpful either way, but there was no. The extensions that made me 2 horribe days: php_curl.dll php_fdf.dll php_gettext.dll php_ifx.dll php_interbase.dll php_ldap.dll php_mssql65.dll php_mssql70.dll php_oci8.dll php_openssl.dll php_oracle.dll php_sablot.dll php_sybase_ct.dll php_yaz.dll A sample message: PHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\php\extensions\php_sybase_ct.dll' My question is if it is possible to load these extensions some way, or should I give up trying, becouse they will never load. Thank you a lot. I wish you nice developing.
