Loading Extensions PHP5 1

[Itshim]

I have Apache 2.2/PHP 5.2 running on WinXP, and I'm having a strange problem with loading some extensions. I noticed the problem when I tried to use the pspell extension. When restarting apache I receive

'C:\\Program Files\\PHP\\ext\\php_pspell.dll' - The specified module could not be found.

Since I'm running on Windows the backslash charaters are correct (they are doubled because of escaping), but this is normal.

Since some extensions are loaded correctly while others fail, I decided to enable all extensions (except for ones which conflict with others) to see if there was any sort of pattern and 15 out of about 43 fail, with no pattern that I can see.

I have verified that the dll files do exist in the same directory as all the others. Was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how this could happen.

Thanks,
Itshim

I can't speak to all the unavailable extensions, but some extensions are not self-contained. They require additional libraries.

Does your PHP installation fulfill everything described in the Pspell manual section?

Thank you very much sleipnir, I installed pspell before in PHP4 (on a different machine) and completely forgot about installing aspell first.

I also tried installing one of the other failing extensions, and the additional libraries were the problem.

BTW - if anyone else tries to install PHP5's pspell on Windows check out this comment PSpell functionality on Windows machines
