Unable to load Library

Question

Hi,

I've got Apache 2.2.22 with PHP 5.4.5 and want to load the "php_sqlsrv" library.

But if I start the Apache Deamon I've got an error:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\\php_sqlsrv_54_ts.dll' - Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden.\r\n in Unknown on line 0

Here the part of the php.ini file

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Dynamic Extensions ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

extension=php_exif.dll
extension=php_gd2.dll
extension=php_ldap.dll
extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
extension=php_sqlsrv_54_ts.dll
extension=php_tidy.dll

The System is running on Windows Server 2003 R2 Service Pack 2

Did someone know why I get this error?

yours sincerely

Answer 1

Microsoft's build is not compatible with Windows 2003.  I have expressed my feelings on the subject and find it inconvenient.

I built a version for myself and others like me that still use XP/2003 - you can download from here: Blog

Hi Rob,

is that true? The new Library isn't compatible with Windows Server 2003 R2?

I used an older Version of this library and it worked over years pretty good...

The PHP Script should connect to a SQL 2005 System

Answer 3

Hi HyP3r,

Either of SQL Server Native Access Client 10 or 11 will connect to SQL Server 2005, so either the official 3.0, or Robert's modification will connect. :)

Cheers,

Jonathan

Answer 4

I think only my build will work with PHP 5.4 on 2003 Jonathan, because it works with Native Client 2008... yours needs Native Client 2012, which only runs on Vista or better.

Oh I was just stating this as a general case. :)
