i'm trying to compile a shared extension for php 8.3.6 x64 for windows i basicly followed these instructions: https://ourcodeworld.com/articles/read/804/how-to-compile-a-php-extension-dll-file-in-windows-with-visual-studio#disqus_thread

Problem: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'php_mailparse.dll' (tried: ./ext\php_mailparse.dll (Die angegebene Prozedur wurde nicht gefunden)) in Unknown on line 0

so what did i do:

  • installed basic components of Visual Studio 2019
  • create folder c:\php-sdk
  • extracted php-source from https://www.php.net/distributions/php-8.3.6.tar.gz into php-sdk
  • extracted contents of https://pecl.php.net/get/mailparse-3.1.6.tgz to php-sdk/ext/mailparse as of instructions i should run buildconf and configure, what it said binary tools are missing, so
  • downloaded https://github.com/php/php-sdk-binary-tools and extracted to php-sdk/php-sdk-binary-tools-master
  • open vs command prompt
  • goto php-sdk/php-sdk-binary-tools-master
  • run phpsdk-vs16-x64.bat
  • go back to php-sdk
  • run configure --disable-all --enable-cli --enable-mbstring --enable-mailparse --disable-zts --with-all-shared output:
----------------------- | Extension | Mode | ----------------------- ... | mailparse | shared | ... ----------------------- Enabled SAPI: ------------- | Sapi Name | ------------- | cli | ------------- ----------------------------------------- | Build type | Release | | Thread Safety | No | | Compiler | Visual C++ 2019 | | Target Architecture | x64 | | Host Architecture | x64 | | Optimization | PGO disabled | | Native intrinsics | SSE2 | | Static analyzer | disabled | -----------------------------------------
  • run nmake

now in php-sdk\x64\Release i found a php_mailparse.dll, [edit] and copied it to the ext-folder of the precompiled php-binaries, [/edit] but this dll gives me the error written at the beginning ... anybody know what i've done wrong?

  • now in php-sdk\x64\Release i found a php_mailparse.dll <--> tried: ./ext\php_mailparse.dll. Are they the same folder? Commented Apr 20, 2024 at 10:26
  • ah yes of course i copied it to the ext-folder of the php-binaries Commented Apr 20, 2024 at 12:33
  • ./ext is a relative path, Can you confirm that you are running PHP in the folder where this ext file is located? If you are unsure, it is recommended that you use an absolute path. Commented Apr 20, 2024 at 14:09
  • to clarify this: its in the same folder all other loaded and working extensions are located, it also does not say, that the file cannot be found, it says, that the procedure can not be found Commented Apr 20, 2024 at 14:57

    I tried this instruction: wiki.php.net/internals/windows/… and it succeeded. The source code need to be placed in x64/pecl/. Commented Apr 21, 2024 at 7:28

thanks to @shingo and a little experiment i got it working, as @shingo posted in his comment compiling shared php-module as dll (windows) i've done the following based on the instructions of https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild_sdk_2#building_pecl_extensions

i have installed Visual Studio Community 2019 with the following components (i don't know which one a really needed, just glad it worked overall ^^)

  • Desktopdevelopment with C++
  • MSVC v142 - VS 2019 C++ -x64/x86Buildtools
  • Windows 10 SDK
  • Just-In-Time-Debugger
  • C++-Profilingtools
  • C++-CMake-Tools for Windows
  • C++ AddressSanitizer

now:

  • create folder C:\php-sdk

  • extract php-source to C:\php-sdk (now i had the php source in C:\php-sdk\php-8.3.6-src)

  • extract contents php-sdk-binary-tools-master.zip\php-sdk-binary-tools-master to C:\php-sdk (so that for exmaple phpsdk-vs16-x64.bat will be in C:\php-sdk)

  • go into php-src-folder (C:\php-sdk\php-8.3.6-src in my case) and create a folder "pecl"

  • extract src of extension to C:\php-sdk\php-8.3.6-src\pecl (in my case mailparse, so i had a folder C:\php-sdk\php-8.3.6-src\pecl\pecl-mail-mailparse-master, but i renamed it to C:\php-sdk\php-8.3.6-src\pecl\mailparse)

now open command prompt:

  • cd C:\php-sdk
  • phpsdk-vs16-x64.bat
  • cd php-8.3.6-src
  • buildconf
  • configure --disable-all --enable-cli --enable-mbstring=shared --enable-mailparse=shared --disable-zts (--disable-zts because i'm compiling for fastcgi under iis, also --enable-mbstring=shared was necessary, since mailparse depends on mbstring, without it, it did not work)
  • nmake

now i copied php_mbstring.dll and php_mailparse.dll from C:\php-sdk\php-8.3.6-src\x64\Release to the extension-folder of my running prebuild php-binaries ext-folder, REPLACING the existing php_mbstring.dll and now it works ;)
