php_enchant not loadable

[Rene Bartholomay]

Hi there,

i switch to PHP5.3 and now PSPELL is no more working. I read the docu
and found that i must use PHP_Enchant from now.

But everytime i try to use is PHP gets an error:

"Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\ext\php_enchant.dll' - The
specified module could not be found"

All other extension are loaded. The extension is in the defined
extension-dir and the settings in php.ini are ok.

I run PHP on Windows XP Prof...   Any ideas?

Bye..

Does the module depend on other DLLs?

Where did you get the extension file?  The enchant extension is not
supplied with PHP 5.3. It is available from PECL according to its
documentation, but as no windows versions of these extensions have been
available since PHP 5.2.7 or so. Any version you have is probably
incorrect unless you compiled it yourself.

Actually that is incorrect - enchant is available for PHP 5.3 on windows
but ONLY for the version compiled with VC9 - it is NOT available and
cannot be used with VC6 (and so mod_php with apache)

there is a libenchant.dll included in the distribution that PHP must be
able to find - easy way to do this is to put your PHP folder in your
windows PATH

Thanks,

The PHP-Folder is in the windows PATH of the machine. I try everything:

- put the libenchant.dll in the folders C:\, C:\Windows and
C:\Windows\system32
- put the extension to the end of the extension list in php.ini
(dependencies!?)
- try the snapshot PHP5.3 and a older PHP5.3 RCn
- try another machine

Nothing works. The error is everytime the same:

"Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\ext\php_enchant.dll' - The
specified module could not be found"

In my opinion the extension-file is corrupt...  Or something is missing.
The error message is not clear...


Or did anyone this run on windows without errors?


Bye, René

Thanks for the further info. I have not used the VC9 builds at all, so
was unaware of that.

Hopefully I'm just too tired, but I can't parse the first half of this.
I assume you are referring to VC9 builds only.

php_enchant is only available with the VC9 builds and requires
external libraries.

According to depends.exe, they are :

libenchant.dll (supplied as part of the VC9 build).

and

libglib-2.0.0.dll
libgmodule-2.0.0.dll

which come from http://www.abisource.com/projects/enchant/

AFAICT, you will need to compile these libraries yourself. See the
quote from [1] below.

"Getting Enchant

You can get Enchant from AbiWord's SVN. Instructions for how to use
AbiWord's anonsvn can be found here:
http://www.abisource.com/developers. The module's name is "enchant".

Alternately, you can download Enchant 1.5.0 [2] (May 23, 2009). Older
versions are still available here [3].

You can browse the Enchant source online from:
http://www.abisource.com/viewvc/enchant/trunk/. Enchant's public API
can be found here. Enchant's provider plugin API can be found here.
Enchant's C++ API can be found here."

Now that VC9 is the official MS compiler version, you still have TS vs
NTS. You also need HEAD/PHP53/PHP52. So for the current 227 extensions
in pecl, that results in a 1,362 builds. Now, if other compilers ARE
needed (older Apache must have VC6), then that double to 2,724. Oh. I
forgot x64, so 5,448 builds.

That's a LOT of processing. In addition, there may be branches within
the extension itself.

No matter how you look at it, there is a lot of work to do.

Got some time to help out? :-)

What does that mean "older Apache"?  I'm using what I think is the
latest build of Apache, and it's MUCH easier to replace my apache
installation than compile PHP or pecl extensions.

I suspect many people who need PHP for Windows do so mostly for their
development environment, then upload the code to Linux boxes for
production.  I can live without thread-safe extensions, I can upgrade
Apache, but some extensions are critical (namely http_get). Since
they've always been available with each PHP upgrade, it's never been a
problem, I've always grabbed the pecl zip file the same time I grabbed
the PHP zip file, and treated it as a two-step install.  (if PEAR were
periodically zipped up or available in svn, I would probably use it as
well, as it is I find PEAR terribly difficult to use).

I guess I had assumed that compiling the extensions was done in a big
batch.  If I had 5.3 extensions available, I'd gladly share them.  (I
paid for the development of php_swish.dll, and then had it added to
the pecl repository,but alas, I never compiled it myself).

I've just updated the documentation for this. May take a couple of
hours before http://docs.php.net/manual/en/enchant.requirements.php
gets updated.

Enchant also requires » Glib 2.6 or greater. Pre-compiled Windows
libraries are available from »
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/glib/.

What do you mean "older Apache must have VC6"?  When did they change
that, and where is the info to be found?
I've been waiting for an official notice from Apache that they have
changed the version, so that I can put PHP 5.3 on my dev box.  As it is,
I see no mention on the site to say what the binaries are built with,
only that VC6 or later is required to compile yourself.

Nothing has changed, only how the windows builds of PHP are now
'managed' ... http://windows.php.net/download/ left hand column.

Anything that is included now in a PHP windows build has to have been
built with the same version of VC, so many third party extensions are no
longer available to windows users. This purely relates to php, and while
the basic reason behind it does have a little sense, nothing has changed
between PHP5.2 and PHP5.3 that would actually prevent properly
configured import libraries using dissimilar versions of VC from being
used - it is only the php windows build team that have decided that this
is not allowed, and that all new windows builds require everything that
php links to is build using VC9.

Third party builds of both Apache and PHP are available for x64 versions
of windows for example and these do not follow the same over zealous
restrictions ....

Yeah, I knew all that from following win-internals, and it's why I've
been waiting for an announcement from Apache.
 The OP implies that newer versions of Apache use VC9 (well, that they
do not need VC6).

I'm also aware of these.  As much as I would like a 64 bit version of
Apache and PHP 5.3 on my Win2K3 server, I will have to live with the 32
bit versions until 64 bit versions are officially available.  I have to
be conservative for my servers and use official builds as I do not have
the time, or know how, to do it myself.

Hi there,

today i found the reason for this. As Richard Quadling described
php_enchant needs GLIB:

> Enchant also requires » Glib 2.6 or greater. Pre-compiled Windows
> libraries are available from »
> http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/glib/.


You need also
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/enchant-1.4.2-tml.zip

And a Windows Registry Entry is needed! Without this you get no error
Message!!  I don´t know why...


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Enchant\Config]
"Module_Dir"="C:\\Programme\\PHP\\"


After that create a new directory in the PHP-Directory
C:\Programme\PHP\Share\enchant\myspell and copy your prefered dictionary
in it.

The copy libenchant_myspell.dll in the PHP Directory.

After IIS-Reset all works fine here...


Regards,

     René
