I currently have PHP 5.5.12 and Apache 2.4 installed on Windows Server 2008 R2. Everything is running perfectly with no issue/warnings.
What I have done is copied the same Apache file/configuration to another server. I copied the C:\PHP directory and then the C:\Apache24 directory and pasted them into the new server.
Then I installed the Apache with one change (ie httpd -k install.) I changed the port number from 80 to 8877. The Apache is working with no issue and it is running on the 8877 port. I can also open the default page by going to SERVER_IP_ADDRESS:8877 and it works.
But, PHP is not working as it should. In the error.log file from the Apache server I get the warning listed below
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\\php_curl.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\\php_ldap.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\\php_pdo_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0
I can't seem to figure out why I get this error? All the .dll files that the warning is stating "The specified module could not be found" do exists in the C:\PHP\ext directoryphp
The PHP extensions are located in
C:\php\ext
Inside the file php.ini I have this variable
extension_dir = "ext"
here is a directory listing of the ext folder
Volume in drive C is OS
Volume Serial Number is C63C-1D75

When I try to access the website I get this error
Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND'
which is because the extensions are not loaded.
I am assuming that the configuration are correct since the same configuration are working on a different server.
How can I fix this PHP Startup issue?
I have the same issue with windows10, apache 2.2.25, php 5.2 Im trying to add GD to a working PHP.
how I turn around and change between forward and backward slash, plus trailing or not, I get some variant of ;
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:/php\php_gd2.dll' - Det g\xe5r inte att hitta den angivna modulen.\r\n in Unknown on line 0
(swedish translated: 'It is not possible to find the module' )
in this perticular case, the php.ini was: extension_dir = "C:/php"
the dll is put in two places C:\php and C:\php\ext
IS it possible that there is and "error" in the error log entry ? I.e. that the .dll IS found (as a file) but not of the right format, or something like that ??
maybe useful for somebody, I got next problem on windows 8, apache 2.4, php 7+.
php.ini conf>
extension_dir="C:/Server/PHP7/ext"
php on apache works ok but on cli problem with libs loading, as a result, I changed to
extension_dir="C:/server/PHP7/ext"
No prompt use:
dir /x
Procure o nome reduzido do diretório na linha do "Program Files (x86)"
27/08/2018 15:07 <DIR> PROGRA~2 Program Files (x86)
Coloque a seguinte configuração em php.ini para a opção:
extension_dir="C:\PROGRA~2\path\to\php\ext"
Acredito que isso resolverá seu problema.
Zorro
Use absolute path:
extension_dir="C:\full\path\here"
If you are using laragon open the php.ini
In the interface of laragon menu-> php-> php.ini
when you open the file look for ; extension_dir = "./"
create another one without **; ** with the path of your php version to the folder ** ext ** for example
extension_dir = "C: \ laragon \ bin \ php \ php-7.3.11-Win32-VC15-x64 \ ext"
change it save it
php\php.ini set your loadable php extensions path (eg. extension_dir = "C:\php\ext")
(https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DDZd06SLHSmoFrdmWkmZuXt4DMOPIi_A)php\php.ini) check if extension=php_mysqli.dll is uncommented
(https://drive.google.com/open?id=17DUt1oECwOdol8K5GaW3tdPWlVRSYfQ9)"C:\php") and php\ext folder (eg."C:\php\ext") as your runtime environment variable path
