[ACCEPTED]-program cant start because php5.dll is missing-debugging

if your php version is Non-Thread-Safe (nts) you 11 must use php extension with format example: extension=php_cl_dbg_5_2_nts.dll else 10 if your php version is Thread-Safe (ts) you 9 must use php extension with format example: extension=php_cl_dbg_5_2_ts.dll (notice 8 bolded words)

So if get error like above. Firstly, check 7 your PHP version is nts or ts, if is nts.
Then 6 check in php.ini whether has any line like 5 zend_extension_ts="C:\xammp\php\ext\php_dbg.dll-5.2.x" choose 4 right version of php_dbg.dll-5.2.x from 3 it homepage (google for it). Change from 2 zend_extension_ts to zend_extension_nts.

Hope 1 this help.

Download php5.dll (http://windows.php.net/download/) and copy it to apache/bin 3 folder. That solved it for me (Win 7 64 2 bit apache 32 bit)

EDIT: Start with the non-thread 1 safe version.

For Wamp x86+Phalcon users (with same error):

Take care of 2 download the right version of Phalcon:

Phalcon 1 1.3.2 - Windows x86 for PHP 5.5.0 (VC11)

I had the same problem I switched from wamp 5 to xampp and yes PHP was working because 4 my path was still pointing to my old installation. I 3 had forgotten to change it to point to my 2 new php installation which version of php 1 didn't match the rest at all.

In case this might help someone, after installing 16 the thread safe version of PHP 5.5.1, everything 15 was working under apache for my dev sites, but 14 I ran into the same "php5.dll is missing" problem 13 installing Composer using the Composer-Setup.exe 12 - or, as I soon discovered, just running 11 something as simple as php -v from the command 10 line. I made a copy of php5ts.dll and named 9 it php5.dll and everything worked. I assume 8 the Composer installer was specifically 7 looking for "php5.dll" and I knew that the 6 thread safe code would be run by the renamed 5 .dll. I also assume something is wrong with 4 my setup to screw up the command line functionality, but 3 with everything working, I have more important 2 issues to deal with than to try and find 1 the problem.

I just now faced this issue while trying 3 to restart XAMPP Apache.

What you can do 2 to solve this is:

1. download PHP5.dll from http://originaldll.com/file/php5.dll/30704.html
2. Copy the downloaded php5.dll to C:\xampp\php
3. Start APACHE and MySql from XAMPP control panel

Hope my solution solves 1 your problem.

Thank You!

I needed to change environment variable 4 PATH and PHPRC. Also open new cmd.

I already had PHP 3 installed and added EasyPHP when the problem 2 came up. After I changed both variables 1 to C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC9\binaries\php\php_runningversion it worked fine.

When you open phpinfo() see if the thread 6 safety is enable or not enable also see 5 the version of php and see MSVC-- what 4 is the number in place of -- and see the 3 architecture these all things help u to 2 get the suitable php driver

here a url help 1 u to get a php driver https://s3.amazonaws.com/drivers.mongodb.org/php/index.html

What you can do to solve this is:

1. Download PHP5.dll or PHP7.dll from: http://windows.php.net/download/.
2. Copy the downloaded php5.dll or php7.dll to C:\xampp\php.
3. Start Apache and MySQL from XAMPP Control Panel.
