## #40009 — Ryan Panning — 2008-08-20T04:00:16+00:00

I am unable to load the Intl extension on Windows XP SP2 using Apache 
2.2.8 and the php apache module. I have tried everything I can think of 
and for the life of me cannot get it to load. The Apache error log keeps 
spitting out this error.

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 
'C:/PHP53/ext/php_intl.dll' - The specified module could not be 
found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0

I am 100% sure that the dll IS located there and is readable by 
PHP/Apache. Other extensions are loaded from that directory as well. The 
  php_intl.dll must be compiled as it's 112 KB. Ideas?

You might be missing ICU DLLs, try downloading them from 
http://www.icu-project.org/

The ICU dlls were missing from the packages. The latest snapshots have
them. My apologizes for not having catched this error, I had ICU
installed system wide here (not the case anymore :).

Thanks for testing and for your feedbacks!

Please don't, they are not compatible (not with snaps or the VC9
builds). ICU 4.x may be compatible with VC9 but not 3.x.

Hi, I downloaded a new snap (php5.3-win32-200808211204.zip) and had the 
same error. I again tried several options, specifying full path, forward 
and backward slashes, etc. (In the php.ini file) The icu*.dll files are 
in the snap. Do they need to be moved somewhere, such as system32? Thanks

Yes, they have to be available in your PATH. That can be where the
apache bins are, system or your PATH. Or if you use php CLI, where
php.exe is.
