php sqlsrv 扩展未加载

Question

I am running php 7.3 on my local machine running windows 10 and it works perfectly with the sqlsrv extension and ODBC Driver 17. I am trying to update php to 7.4 but php will not load the extension. Anyone know why it is not loading?

Error I get:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'php_sqlsrv_74_nts_x64' (tried: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\PHP\\v7.4\\ext\\php_sqlsrv_74_nts_x64 (The specified module could not be found.), C:\\Program Files (x86)\\PHP\\v7.4\\ext\\php_php_sqlsrv_74_nts_x64.dll (The specified module could not be found.)) in Unknown on line 0

Answer 1

Found a solution... You need to add the file extension to the extension= in the php.ini file.

So php.ini should look like this:

extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_74_nts_x64.dll
extension=php_sqlsrv_74_nts_x64.dll

Answer 2

You can write the complete filename in php.ini like that:

extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_74_nts_x64.dll

But because this is supported only for legacy reasons I would recommed the format extension=<ext> without 'php_' and '.dll'. In your case:

extension=pdo_sqlsrv_74_nts_x64
