Description:
------------
I've installed php 5.2 and update all related modules for oci8, odbtp. Everything is working. 

I use remote desktop to access the machine where i installed php and apach 2.0.59. i installed php as modules instead of cgi/fast cgi.

during my development of php pages, unable to load dynamic library for oci8, odbtp all came up from nowhere. i didn't see anything in error log.

i remembered when there was (using cgi/fast cgi as parser last time) memory leak or ?? reason, there will be php-cgi.exe stayed in windows Task Manager's process list forever. i had to kill it manually before it crashed my system. so, is this the effect of using modules as parser and when seomthing went wrong, the dynamic window pop/show up? i just have to close the window, everything is still working and running fine.

plz advise. I've read all the similar post but it's different.

thanks!


Lee

Sounds like you are using the dl() function to load the extensions. That will not work with multithreaded SAPI's. You can load the extensions with the extension=... directive in your php.ini file.

i am using the extension_dir directive but enable_dl was also set to on in php.ini. I set it to off now. Everything seems working fine. That pop up problem happens once in a while. so, hopefully i will no longer getting the pop up. 

thanks!

OCI8 extension requires Oracle client, other extensions might require other third party .dll's, which is described in the docs.

hi tony,

i don't have a problem with the extensions being loaded at startup or anything. 

after setting enabled_dl = Off, the dynamic loading pop up still show up (not when i restarted apache).

i noticed that it happens once in a while only when i connect to the server using remote desktop control. one time after i logged on, the other times during login screen. 

all the startup dynamic loading erorrs for all extensions i am using such as oci8, mssql, odbtp show up. i just have to close them. no errors reported in error log like how it usually will.


anyone have any explanation? thanks!

Sure. Your PATH is different when you connect through the remote desktop and Windows cannot find the required libraries.
Not PHP problem.

i think i kinda get it. so, is there any way to prevent those pop up from showing up? i connect to the server from the local machine. it only show up when the remote screen is idle for a long while and when i go back to it, those extension load will show up. since it's PATH problem, i am not sure how can i change the PATH locally or remotely or ??? plz advise. thanks bunch, at least i've got a better direction and answer so far. (even though this is not PHP problem).
