WampServer

As long as I am using a version up to PHP 8.1.24, cURL works. As soon as I am trying either 8.1.25 or 8.2.12 no cURL is loaded. I am getting the following in my PHP error log:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'curl' (tried: w:/wamp64/bin/php/php8.2.12/ext/curl (Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden), w:/wamp64/bin/php/php8.2.12/ext/php_curl.dll (Die angegebene Prozedur wurde nicht gefunden)) in Unknown on line 0

The path to /ext is correct, other modules load ok, and php_curl.dll is in the folder.

This is wampserver 64 on Win 11 22H2. The error occured only after I installed PHP 8.1.25/8.2.12. Any suggestions?

Which version of Wampserver?

The curl extension is perfectly loaded with PHP 8.2.12 or PHP 8.1.25.

Are you up to date with VC++ redistributables?

Thanks for getting back to me. I deinstalled the two versions in question and then went on to reinstall the VC++ executables from the MS site. Then I reinstalled PHP 8.1.25 as well as 8.2.12.
The error message is still the same, and the cURL module is neither found nor loaded.

I was the bold and changed the extension dir path in line 776 of phpForApatche.ini to point to php 8.1.24.
And lo: cURL is found and loaded. The same happens, when I copy the curl.dll from 8.1.24 over to 8.1.25.


What now?

Hi,

Right-Click -> Tools -> Check symbolic links

This is absolutely not the solution!
You're loading a library that doesn't correspond to the PHP version you're using.

What is your Apache version ?

I absolutely agree that this cannot be the solution.
Checking symbolic links did not reveal anything unusual.

My Apache was 2.4.54.1 and it wasn't clear to me that this was the problem. I've installed 2.4.58 and that works now.
Thanks for your patience.

It's impossible to find anywhere a table listing the compatibility between Apache versions and PHP versions used as Apache modules.

What tipped me off is that I always use the latest Apache version to check that the latest PHP versions are working properly.
