Description:
------------
With the exif extension permitted in the php.ini file, a reboot of Apache 2 gives an error stating
Cannot load C:/PHP/ext/php_exif.dll into server. The specified module could not be found

PHP 4 worked fine, but 5 RC3 and 5.0.0 don't (I didn't try earlier versions).

Needless to say, other extensions I've permitted have worked fine, so it's not a problem with my php.ini file

might be the same as http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=29028 (however the "resolution" there does not state which extra libraries are the ones missing). 
Can reproduce on two IIS servers on Win XP, as well, so it may be a general problem on Windows. 
Maybe also related to http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=29131 (?)

If you're sure that you have downloaded the exif dll into the right place check if you also enabled module mbstring.

Enabling mbstring didn't help, for some reason it caused Apache to stop working completely. It didn't give any error messages, but wouldn't accept any request unless it was restarted with the mbstring module in the php.ini disabled.

I also tried moving the dll files to the winnt\system32 directory, but that didn't help. I also put the PHP\ext directory in the PATH, and that did nothing either.

I'm using the gd2, sockets, and gettext libraries without any problems, and I'm 100% all the files are in the correct place.

To enable exif support in Windows, php_mbstring.dll must be loaded prior to php_exif.dll in php.ini.

That worked, cheers. You'd think for known cases like that they'd sort the order out in the php.ini file. Thanks again
