I've been trying to get the intl extension working on my test workstation (PHP 5.5.1, Apache 2.2.4, Windows 7 32-bit). It seems that no matter what I try I can't get it up and running.
I've checked the Apache error log and found this line every time I've restarted Apache:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\\wamp\\php5.5\\ext\\php_intl.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\\r\\n in Unknown on line 0
I repeat myself, but c:\\wamp\\php5.5\\ext\\php_intl.dll DOES EXIST!
I'm tempted to try pointing at Windows Explorer and shouting at my computer, "LOOK! THE STINKIN' FILE IS RIGHT THERE!" Any idea why I can see the file and PHP cannot even though we're apparently looking in the same directory? Or is something else going on that I've missed?
Make sure that Apache can find and load icu*.dll files from PHP base dir.
Fast, simple solution is to copy these dll's to Apache bin directory.
Although SeventyFourLaboratories's solution is simple and it works, there is a solution that doesn't require you to modify your Apache or PHP distribution (and sometimes, you are not allowed to change them in production servers).
You said you've verified C:\\wamp\\php5.5
is in your PATH
. Windows has two kinds of environment variables: user and system variables.
I've tried to set C:\\wamp\\php5.5
in my user variable PATH
, and it doesn't work. But, setting it in the system variable PATH
makes it work. So, you should verify that you use the PATH
system variable to configure Apache instead of a user variable with the same name.
I had this exact same problem and after close to 5 hours of working on this issue I finally got it resolved. There were two main changes that I had to make.
1) When I downloaded the extension I was trying to use, it came with many other files beyond just the .dll file - most of them were .pdb. I moved all of them into the ext folder that contains the .dll files.
2) The answer by smaines at alaya dot com provided as a comment here gave me the second thing that I needed to do - add the path to the ext folder to windows $PATH variable.
There are many ways this can be done, here is one:
I hope that helps, it worked for me. It seems like this is a fairly common problem - at least I found quite a few discussions on it and variations of it.
This was driving me crazy. I had all the icu dlls in my path etc. In the end installing Visual C++ 2015 x86 solved it for me.
complete fix would be to change C:\\wamp\\scripts\\config.inc.php as follow:
Find this section of that file
$phpDllToCopy = array (
'fdftk.dll',
'fribidi.dll',
'libeay32.dll',
'libmhash.dll',
'libmysql.dll',
'msql.dll',
'libmysqli.dll',
'ntwdblib.dll',
'php5activescript.dll',
'php5isapi.dll',
'php5nsapi.dll',
'ssleay32.dll',
'yaz.dll',
'libmcrypt.dll',
'php5ts.dll',
'php4ts.dll');
And change it to
$phpDllToCopy = array (
'fdftk.dll',
'fribidi.dll',
'icudt51.dll', // - Additions to avoid unknown error PHP 5.5.5
'icuin51.dll',
'icuio51.dll',
'icule51.dll',
'iculx51.dll',
'icutest51.dll',
'icutu51.dll',
'icuuc51.dll',
'icudt50.dll', // - Additions to avoid unknown error PHP 5.5
'icuin50.dll',
'icuio50.dll',
'icule50.dll',
'iculx50.dll',
'icutest50.dll',
'icutu50.dll',
'icuuc50.dll',
'icudt49.dll', // - Additions to avoid unknown error PHP 5.3/5.4
'icuin49.dll',
'icuio49.dll',
'icule49.dll',
'iculx49.dll',
'icutest49.dll',
'icutu49.dll',
'icuuc49.dll',
'libeay32.dll',
'libmhash.dll',
'libmysql.dll',
'libsasl.dll', // - Additions to avoid unknown error
'msql.dll',
'libmysqli.dll',
'ntwdblib.dll',
'php5activescript.dll',
'php5isapi.dll',
'php5nsapi.dll',
'ssleay32.dll',
'yaz.dll',
'libmcrypt.dll',
'php5ts.dll',
'php4ts.dll',
);
HOW TO add your PHP.exe location to PATH.
(Windows 7 GUI)
For admin access to "Environment Variables : System Variables", follow instruction here: https://kb.wisc.edu/cae/page.php?id=24500
In "Environment Variables : System Variables", edit the 'Path' variable and prefix the existing string (DO NOT DELETE IT), with your location. eg: C:\\wamp\\bin\\php\\php5.5.12;
Correction to above messages
If you are adding php folder to PATH, make sure to add php folder, not the php/ext folder.
In my case it was C:\\wamp\\bin\\php\\php5.5.12, not C:\\wamp\\bin\\php\\php5.5.12\\ext.
