Unable to load php_curl.dll solution

Today you need to load the dynamic library php_curl.dll, and remove the semicolon in front of extension=php_curl.dll in php.ini. However, when starting Apache, it still prompts that the file php_curl.dll cannot be loaded, and there is also the file php_curl.dll under the ext directory, but why it cannot be found is really puzzling.

Then I checked on Google. The information on the Internet all said that the path of extension_dir was not configured or extension=php_curl.dll was not opened. But the problem was that I had removed the semicolon in front of it.

Later I saw an article and the problem was finally solved: the reason is that not all dll files can be opened directly, and some depend on some files. For example, this php_curl.dll depends on two files ( ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll) If these two files are not configured correctly, it will prompt that the dynamic library cannot be found. These two files are under the php directory.

Solution: Configure it in Apache's httpd.conf file:

LoadFile "D:/webserver/php/ssleay32.dll"
LoadFile "D:/webserver/php/libeay32.dll"

Then restart the apache service and it will be ok.
