PHP error-can't load dynamic library-double slashes in path

Post by entropicsinkhole »

PHP 5.2.1, running on Windows Server 2003

If it isn't obvious, I'm a total PHP noob :? . Anyway, I get this error in my error.log file. I'm assuming I shouldn't be seeing double slashes like that and maybe that's why I can't access this dll file which IS in the specified directory. Where would I go to fix this path? I would think php.ini, but then all my other dlls should be having problems too right?

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'D:\\xampp\\php\\ext\\php_svn.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0

You may need to copy some files into the WINDOWS directory in order to get other dlls to load. I ran into this recently.

Are all the other extensions loading properly?

The double slashes are supposed to be there. They're being escaped.

The only thing that I can think of is to check the extension's documentation. There's probably files that it depends on that aren't being found.
