Extension files not loading

I'm trying to run Apache2.2.6 with php. However, I keep getting a long
list of error messages in the log file indicating that includes are
failing. For example,

"PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library './ext/
php_sybase_ct.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in
Unknown on line 0"

I have changed the "extension_dir" line in the php.ini file every way
I can think of, including the original:

extension_dir="C:/PHP/ext"

and

extension_dir=./ext/

I have tried with and without quotes, foreward slashes, back slashes,
etc. Both direct paths and indirect paths fail.

How do I get php to find these files?

Thanks

Well, first of all, are you sure these extensions are there? And are you=

editing the right php.ini (check the output of phpinfo(): what file does=

Yes, the extensions are there, and the path being searched does depend
on how I set extension_dir.
The log file will faithfully reproduce the path I indicate in the line
reporting the error. For example,
extension_dir="C:\PHP\ext"

results in lines of the form:

"PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\\PHP\
\ext\\php_sybase_ct.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r
\n in Unknown on line 0"

This can also occur if one of the DLL's required by the PHP SyBase DLL
can't be found. Do you have the SyBase libs installed and available for
loading (i.e. in your PATH environment)?

It's not just 'php_sybase_ct.dll' that isn't loading. It's a long list
of libraries that are present in the ext directory that aren't being
found no matter what I do. There are about 17 that aren't loading. it
could be that they all are failing to find external dependencies.

My issue is that php scripts are not being recognized. I believed that
it was because some of these include files were not being found, but
perhaps it is more of an issue with how I have apache configured.

Yes, if you can't load all of those extensions, you have a problem.

First of all, get rid of the extensions and get phpinfo() to work.
Verify you're working with the correct php.ini file and the proper
extension directory. Then try loading your extensions one at a time.

Remember you have to completely stop and start Apache after changing the
php.ini file. You cannot just restart it.

First of all, extension_dir should be an ABSOLUTE path to where extension
libraries are stored.

Check the phpinfo() output to see the actual value of that variable for Your
scripting environment.

Add
LoadFile path/to/SyBaseSharedDlls

into Your httpd.conf before

LoadModule php5_module

Example:

LoadFile C:/usr/sbin/php-5.2.2-Win32/libeay32.dll
LoadFile C:/usr/sbin/php-5.2.2-Win32/ssleay32.dll

LoadFile C:/usr/sbin/php-5.2.2-Win32/libmysql.dll

LoadFile C:/usr/sbin/php-5.2.2-Win32/php5ts.dll
# LoadFile C:/usr/sbin/php-5.2.2-Win32/dlls/iconv.dll

LoadModule php5_module "C:/usr/sbin/php-5.2.2-Win32/php5apache2_2_filter.dll"


php_admin_value extension_dir "C:/usr/sbin/php-5.2.2-Win32/ext"
PHPIniDir "C:/usr/sbin/php-5.2.2-Win32"

Hi,

Did you check filepermissions?
Can PHP actually read these files? (I don't think it needs more than
read permissions)
IIS -> IUSR_
Apache -> nobody or apache or www-data (check which one first of course)

If an Apache module doesn't use those files it is not necessary to load
them in the Apache configuration. The PHP extension will call for them
to be loaded.
