I just now faced this issue while trying to restart XAMPP Apache.

What you can do to solve this is:

download PHP5.dll from http://originaldll.com/file/php5.dll/30704.html
Copy the downloaded php5.dll to C:\xampp\php
Start APACHE and MySql from XAMPP control panel

Hope my solution solves your problem.

Thank You!

In case this might help someone  after installing the thread safe version of PHP 5 5 1  everything was working under apache for my dev sites  but I ran into the same  php5 dll is missing  problem installing Composer using the Composer-Setup exe - or  as I soon discovered  just running something as simple as php -v from the command line  I made a copy of php5ts dll and named it php5 dll and everything worked  I assume the Composer installer was specifically looking for  php5 dll  and I knew that the thread safe code would be run by the renamed  dll  I also assume something is wrong with my setup to screw up the command line functionality  but with everything working  I have more important issues to deal with than to try and find the problem
