When ever we try to load dll's on our Apache 2 test server, it gives the following error, with the appropriate dir in front of the dll name.

Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\extensions/php_mssql.dll' - The specified module could not be found.'

We have checked many times to make sure that all the files are available and that the links are correct, but it still gives the error.

Here is the config line for the extensions:

extension_dir = "C:\PHP\extensions"

And that IS where they are located.

Please reply ASAP.

Thank you in advance.

I forgot to mention that PHP does work, when there are no extensions loading. And the problem is not just for MSSQL, but for all extensions.

..and you have followed the instructions in install.txt?
And copied all the necessary bundled dlls into your path?
And you have mssql client dlls installed in your system?

(Sorry, full post here)

Yes, I have followed all of the driections from the install.txt file.

I made sure that php_mssql.dll is in the \extensions\ dir, and that php4ts.dll is in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ dir.

Also, PHP runs just fine when I am not trying to use any extensions.

Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking
support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.
For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP,
please visit http://www.php.net/support.php

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

This is probably problem in your install. My guess is that you forgot to copy content of dlls folder from php distribution into your c:\winnt\system32. php_mssql.dll needs ntwdblib.dll which is located in that dir.
