Cannot load PHP DLL

Former Member — Fri, 02 Feb 2018 05:43:13 GMT

Hello, I'm running PHP 7.1.7 64-bit on 64-bit Windows 2016 Server. I have followed your installation instructions for integrating SQL Anywhere, in short:

downloaded php-7.1.0_sqlanywhere.dll 64-bit version
moved that file into C:\\Program Files\\PHP\\v7.1\\ext
set my extension_dir correctly in PHP.ini
added extension=php-7.1.0_sqlanywhere.dll
installed the Sybase SQL Anywhere Client 17
verified that %path% is referring to C:\\Program Files\\SQL Anywhere 17\\Bin64
verified that %path% is referring to C:\\Program Files\\SQL Anywhere 17\\Bin32

Which still results in PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\\Program Files\\PHP\\v7.1\\ext\\php-7.1.0_sqlanywhere.dll' - Kan opgegeven module niet vinden. in Unknown on line 0

I've read that the .DLL has to be the exact version according to PHP, but I'm using the 7.1.0 DLL on a 7.1.7 PHP. Might that be the reason? Is the 7.1.7 DLL available? Or what could cause the problem?

Thanks for your help.

Ok, I seem to have found the solution. I had to use the non thread safe version. php-7.1.0_sqlanywhere_nts.dll. I found out that when running PHP as FastCGI on Windows, you need to use NTS.

Thanks for sharing your solution. So do you run FastCGI with IIS?
