Cphalcon: win10 php7.1 Unable to load dynamic library php_phalcon.dll

[wolinyy]

I tried multiple versions of the dll file and found that the latest available version is 3.3.2.

3.4.x cannot be used.

The number of files in the 3.3.2 and 3.4.x zip package is different.
Has the compiled environment changed?

@wolinyy Can you tell me the exact version you took? I only see zip files with a php_phalcon.dll and a LICENSE.txt
I assume you need Phalcon for PHP 7.1 & NTS. Do you need x86 or x64?

Yes I need PHP 7.1 & NTS & x86 for win10

phalcon_x86_vc14_php7.1.0_3.3.2_nts.zip has 2 files
phalcon_x86_vc14_php7.0_3.4.0-1656_nts.zip has 16 files

I test 3.3.2 and 3.2.0, is OK。
but 3.4.0， 3.4.1，3.4.2,3.4.4，can not work：php -m Unable to load dynamic library ，but phpinfo can find phalcon module。

I guess the php_phalcon.dll build environment has changed since 3.4.0.

Looks like you took the wrong php version. You downloaded 7.0 instead of 7.1.
Can you try https://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon/releases/download/v3.4.4/phalcon_x86_vc14_php7.1_3.4.4_nts.zip

Sorry, I have cut the wrong picture.
In fact, I can switch the version of php locally,
I tried both 7.1 and 7.0, 3.4.x will not work,
and later I tried php7.1 3.2.0 and 3.3.2.
There is no problem with the version of php

[wolinyy]

When reporting an error, the version of php_phalcon.dll is 3.4.2.

Can you delete the zip files you've already downloaded and any of the extracted contents. Then remove any existing php_phalcon.dll (except your backup of 3.3.2) from the ext directory and reinstall using ones of the links below?

• PHP 7.1 x86 NTS use this version
• PHP 7.0 x86 NTS use this version

What does the entry in your php.ini look like?

If you're still having trouble, we'll need to confirm the windows installs ourselves.

My configuration is definitely no problem.
As shown, the cli mode php_phalcon can't be found, but nginx+php prints phpinfo() but can see it.

I was using the win10 system for the first time. This system is installed on a remote virtual system. I suspect there are certain reasons for this.

3.3.2 Can be used ok, my home win7 can use 3.4.x series

but nginx+php prints phpinfo() but can see it.
my home win7 can use 3.4.x series

Sounds like it's working on Windows

My configuration is definitely no problem.

Help us, help you. Do what I've asked, then report back.

Thanks :)

win10 PHP 7.1.13 (cli) (built: Jan 3 2018 20:14:59) ( NTS MSVC14 (Visual C++ 2015) x86 )

PHP 7.0 x86 NTS not work.
PHP 7.1 x86 NTS php cli not work，nginx+php work Ok. Just like the screenshot above.

Win10 is my working environment, The screenshots above are all in win10.

I've just tested this on my own Windows PC. I can't reproduce the issue, I downloaded a fresh copy of PHP 7.1.31 (x86) NTS and installed the extension.

I did have an issue where PHP was trying to read the extensions from another directory which can be seen in my console output below. This was remedied by updating the php.ini entry to;

extension=C:\Users\Cam\Documents\php\7.1.31\ext\php_phalcon.dll

Cam@CAMPC C:\Users\Cam\Documents\php\7.1.31
$ php --ri phalcon
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\php\ext\php_phalcon.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
 in Unknown on line 0
Extension 'phalcon' not present.

I'm very confident this is a configuration issue. I hope you manage to work it out, but I don't think there is anything further we can do for you here.
