I had the same issue after replacing 5.0.0RC2 with 5.0.0RC3 (and also with dev snapshot from 17-Jun) using IIS 5.1 and Windows XP SP1.  The error shows up at the end when viewing the output from the single command, phpinfo().  In all other pages, it shows up on the first line of output.  

The first thing I did was disable *all* extensions.  Nothing changed.  

Then I checked permissions and file attributes on the PHP directory.  Couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.  

Hope this helps!

I've checked up at various forums and found that most replies were that the newer php5isapi.dll has the bug. I don't know really but thats what I got from most people because there is no problem at all whatsoever in linux. Also, there are people who recompile the source code in linux and somehow make it work - but not in wimdows.

Hi folks,

I have nearly the same error msg on my System:

Windows 2003 Server Enterprise
IIS 6
PHP 5.0.0 RC3

The error msg on beginning of every php page is:
"PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 017573DD"

after that the php file is normaly executed and send to browser but it never stops loading, and finaly the browser shows the "Page can not be viewed." msg.

My server is a complete new installed system with only one website on it and is thought as development platform.

The error must depend on the "php5isapi.dll".
Because by replacing the "php5isapi.dll" from RC3 with the on from the RC2 package, the error disappears!

This is also my workaround for the time waiting on a fixed dll.

Greetz from Germany!

I was experiencing the same exact behavior described by others after upgraded to v5 RC3...

"PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 010173DD"

My platform info:
Win2k Pro, SP3
IIS 5
PHP 5.0.0 RC3 (downloaded today, 6/23/04).

Thanks to Andreas' suggestion, I was able to resolve the problem (swapping "php5isapi.dll" from RC3 with the one in the RC2 distribution).

My apologies, Andreas' solution only partially addresses those in the original posters (for me at least).

Original posters claim of "There is not a single "mysql"
keyword in the phpinfo() page!" still applies to me as well (though the Access Violation error is in fact gone).

Something odd, when I view the Import/Export table for the "libmySQL.dll" file, I see most of the expected functions, except "mysql_connect"!! I am using the program "FileAlyzer" (made by the fine people of SpyBot S&D) to view the import/export table. 

This is using v5.0.0 Alpha of MySQL (maybe a MySQL problem, just wanting to see if others getting this same issue are using the same version of MySQL)

This MySQL issue has been around sometime with PHP5. But you'll find that PHP's own db called SQLLite is enabled by default (I have no idea how this works an where is the db in the first place). They are probably concentrating more on their db.....but still it doesn't make sense though since almost all web servers are using MySQL and what are the chances of them switching to SQLLite soon ???

Same problem with XP Pro IIS 5.1 PHP 5.0.0RC2 & RC3 
PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 00B473DD 
- after reading some of the comments I replaces the php5isapi.dll with the package RC1 - and that fixed it....

Hope this helps

I have the same problem with PHP 5 RC3/iis.
A simple <?php echo "hello"; ?> will give me an access violation. But what is weird is running phpinfo at the start of my script will make it work e.g. <?php phpinfo(); echo "hello"; ?> 

Also note in the phpinfo() page under "PHP Variables" section, the key _ENV["TEMP"] had a value of "Access Violation...", once I added access to user IUSR_PCNAME it reverted back to "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP"

Since it appears that the php5isapi.dll RC2 works, can someone please provide a URL so I can download it.

Hope this helps

Demis - Have you tried this :
http://museum.php.net/php5/
RC2 is not listed but RC1 is.

Same with 2003 webserver edition

i not inglesh, i portugues
http://br.php.net/get/php-5.0.0RC2-Win32.zip/from/this/mirror

is the orc2

The error above shows when using myphpadmin 2.5.5-pl1 on IIS 5.1 with PHP 5 RC3 and MySQL 4.0.20c

Most of my PHP/MySQL scripts works fine except for this one, I want to add the myphpadmin so i can do database manipulations on hand but sadly this version won't. Any help would be gratefullt appreciated.

After building a Windows 2003 server with IIS6 and PHP 5.0 RC3, I have the same Access Violation error.  I also tried replacing the php5isapi.dll with the RC2 version, no luck.  I then fully rolled back to PHP 5.0 RC2, same problem.

In comparison, my Redhat environment with Apache 2 and PHP 5.0 RC3 was also crashing erratically, although I was unable to track it down to an Access Violation error.  I believe that this problem is more than likely related.

I haven't been able to produce this error with a sane amount of test code, but will add more comments as I try to narrow things down.

you must manually enable mysql extension modules (mysqli if you want to use Mysql 5.0 like i did) if you want to use it in php.ini... to answer that

also the ISAPI module I experience the same problem with both RC3 AND the FINAL release.

Could you try php5ts.dll from http://emini.dk/php5ts-zend-mm.zip

i have the same bug. i am developing under win xp pro sp1 iis5.1. i worked with php4.3.7 and mysql 4.0.20b. then i moved to php5 final and mysql 4.1.3b. it took me a hole day to get it run. i found round about 6 different ways to install it, but it didnt worked properly. and i needed 2 more hours to get mysql work, because "php_mysql.dll was not found". i had old dlls in windows/system32. finally it worked but my scripts didnt work anymore. especially the session handling. and now i just get "PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 015273CD". i found this page and wanted to vote on this bug and all what i get is:
query INSERT INTO bugdb_votes (bug,ip,score,reproduced,tried,sameos,samever) VALUES(28799,,2,1,1,1,1); failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '2,1,1,1,1)' at line 1
what the hell are the doing. are the now working for microsoft?

Voting not working ? This is new. I voted a few days ago though I posted this post long time back. My vote was counted. I thought I can vote again to see this error but can't vote now. Guess its a one time vote ?

edink,

Tried the php5ts.dll file provided in the link, no success.

This problem has existed since the 4.3.7 release (I have not tried 4.3.8 yet).

WinServer 2003, IIS6, PHP5 (Final and RC's).  phpinfo(); returns fine, but anything else returns an access violation.

Here's an example:
<?
echo "hello!";
?>

Result:
PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 017573CDhello!

Im using php 4.3.7 and not encountered any such problem - all is working fine. I find the problem only with php5.

Nevermind.  The .dll provided by edink did fix the problem, I just forgot to update the right version of it. ;)

For anyone still experiencing the, if you install PHP like I do, make sure that the php5ts.dll file is updated in your %SYSTEMROOT% folder, and your php folder (if you leave it there).  I setup <drive>:\php as a PATH value, so it may be different for me.

Thanks edink.

The new php5ts.dll fixed the access violation on non-mysql pages. Now I have a new access violation that is intermittant: meaning doens't work (query hits mysql using pear DB, access violation, and then nothing) and next load it works. There is a different access violation code now, as occured as i played with .ini and include paths and extension dirs thinking it was file access related.

PHP5 final, MySQL 4.1.1-alpha-nt, winXP version 2002 sp1

(php-5.0.0-Win32.zip and php5ts-zend-mm.zip)

I am happy to note that the dll download recommended by edink solved my problem - I am using MySQL 5.0.0a for Windows, PHP 5.0 final, IIS 6.0, all on Windows Server 2003 Standard.

I'll continue to test this to see if I get any more of those access violations errors and note them here if it shows up on my other servers.

after further testing though the library is still a bit unstable, for every few pages I still get the Access Violation error. after refreshing it, the page loads fine.

after further testing though the library is still a bit unstable, once in a while I still get the Access Violation error. after refreshing it, the page loads fine.

Running windows 2000 iis 5 php 5.  I was having the same problem and the dll provided by edlink solved it.  Thanks.

same thing here

windows 2003 server enterprise edition.
php5 extracted to c:\php5 directory

copied the php5ts.dll and libmysql.dll to c:\windows\system32

copied modified ini file to c:\window (just edited extension path to c:\php5\ext and uncommented the php_mysql.dll line)

and followed this instruction:
http://www.iis-resources.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=96

result -> phpinfo(); works other phpsites give me following error "PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 017B73CD"

does anyone recommend to switch to previous version of php ???

adding information to bugreport (top of this report).

when i rename the php.ini to php.ini_ so that php cannot find it, the access violation is on the bottom of the output. when i rename it again to php.ini the access violation is at the beginning of the page. maybe it has something to do with the php.ini-file handling.
the only things i changed is the ext-dir and the mysql extension thing.

hope this helps

the dll provided by edlink did also not work-same problem like before.

also experienced some things they have to do if php.ini is present or not:

without php.ini in c:\window-dir:
things using odbc_... working

with php.ini in c:\window:
things using odbc_... -> HTTP 500 error

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Hello,

Sorry for my bad english in first.

I had the same problem.
My reply : I had download a file .reg to configure my IIS server for ISAPI.
There is like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEME\CurrentControlSet\Services\w3svc\parameters\Script Map]
".php"="c:\winnt\system32\php5isapi.dll"

Becareful, the file php5isapi.dll and php5ts.dll must be in the same repertory.

Good By!!
