## #43264 — David M. Patterson — 2009-03-06T00:54:54+00:00

I'm having a curious problem with my extension.
I just moved to PHP 5.3-200903031530, made various changes as appropriate
and successfully built it.
Running php -i generates the expected output, including all of the stuff
from my extension. 
The odd thing is that PHP always reports:
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'./Debug_TS\php_dplhlib' - The specified module could not be found.

This seems particularly odd to me since it's built statically (and runs).

Ideas?

Thanks!

yes - remove extension=php_dplhlib.dll from php.ini.  You probably have
an old one you've forgotten about that is getting loaded.  You can
verify by doing

php -i |more

and seeing which it is loading, and then edit it in your favorite text
editor.
