PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'php-7.4.0_sqlanywhere.dll'

[former_SQLA_member1695062]

I am unable to properly run the PHP SQLAnywhere extensions. I have tried both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the extension but had no luck with either. I am using SQL Anywhere 16 and PHP 8.0.10. I added both of these lines to my php.ini file:

extension=php-7.4.0_sqlanywhere.dll

extension=php-7.4.0_sqlanywhere_nts.dll

I made sure that both dll's are in the correct path with all the other extensions which is also the one that is specified in the error message.

Error message I recieved:

Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'php-7.4.0_sqlanywhere.dll' (tried: C:\\XXX\\php-7.4.0_sqlanywhere.dll (The specified module could not be found), C:\\XXX\\php_php-7.4.0_sqlanywhere.dll.dll (The specified module could not be found)) in Unknown on line 0

Just realized I'm running PHP 8.0.10 not PHP 7.4.0.

The extension I'm using is only compatible with PHP 7.4.0, after downgrading the problem was fixed.
