Apologies in advance - Unable to load dynamic library

Post by philholt8 »

Hi
Sorry I know nothing about PHP but all my PHP based websites are down and I have this message given to me by our IT guy who also isnt great with PHP please can you help at all thanks
Have found that php isn't loading because of this message

Unable to load dynamic library
c:\php\ext\bdg.dll

This file isn't in that folder so i commented out the extension in php.ini but it hasn't worked.
Not sure if this file needs to be there or if it should be something else?!
On a windows server

You have to restart the webserver for any changes in php.ini to take affect.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

What is the loaded php.ini according to phpinfo() ?

Something tells me you've edited the wrong php.ini

I doubt a phpinfo() page will work as PHP won't even load, but ~Jcart is likely on the right track. Search your server for "php.ini". Are you running PHP4 or PHP5? Those versions have different php.ini setups.
