PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'm been trying to get PHP working with the sqlanywhere.so module and I get the following message. PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library

PHP 5.2.17
Mac: O/S X : 10.6.6
Server version: Apache/2.2.15 (Unix)
Zend Server:

Sybase Version 7.0

In phpInfo(), it shows that my sqlanywhere.so extension is in the proper extension_dir, and the php.ini file shows that the extension is suppost to be loaded.

I've downloaded the latest module threaded version from the sybase website (ver 5.3.5) threaded and still doesn't work. In addition I've also tried to manually compile the extension and paste into my extension_dir, but get the same error.

Also my LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set in my env and does point to the library files, so when i run say ./dbsrv12 it works.

Please help this is very frustrating

When you say "Sybase Version 7.0", what do you mean? I'm pretty sure we didn't have a PHP module in SQL Anywhere Studio 7.0, and you do mention dbsrv12, which implies that you're using SA version 12.

Sorry for the confusion, at work we have a Sybase database version 7, and yes I am using SA version 12

[MarkCulp]

This is still confusing me - what does "we have a Sybase database version 7" mean? Does this mean that your database was created with version 7 or does this mean that your company owns a license for version 7 (but that you have downloaded a dev-ed version of SA 12)? Please explain.

Note we ask because dbsrv12 cannot start a version 7 database.

Our database was created with version 7 and I have downloaded a dev-ed of SA 12.

I would still like to be able to install the PHP module however, because they are currently migrating over to the latest database version of sybase.

OMG after weeks finally figured it out! PHP is not build in 64 bit, and I was trying to load a 64 bit module to a 32 bit application and of course it won't work. I checked the bit of the extension by using the file command and got this

$ file /usr/local/zend/lib/php_extensions/sqlanywhere.so /usr/local/zend/lib/php_extensions/sqlanywhere.so: Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64

Then I used the below way to compile to make 32 bit module instead and ran the file command again and got.

$ file /usr/local/zend/lib/php_extensions/sqlanywhere.so /usr/local/zend/lib/php_extensions/sqlanywhere.so: Mach-O bundle i386

USE The below to complie as 32 bit:

phpize CFLAGS='-O3 -fno-common -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os' LDFLAGS='-O3 -arch i386 -arch x86_64' CXXFLAGS='-O3 -fno-common -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os'

./configure --disable-dependancy-tracking --disable-shared -enable-static

I was stumped, but now I see....

Glad to see you finally got it working. Hopefully using the product is a little easier than integrating it into your system.
