Dear Friends,

I need to read a test.so file using dl() method. Its not working in latest version of xampp. am using xampp 1.8.0. Please help me to fix the issue.

Hi thilmca,

As JJ_Tagy already mentioned, dl() is only supported in specific Server APIs. PHP in XAMPP is running as Apache Module so it uses the SAPI apache2handler. This SAPI doesn't have any support for dl().

The other thing:

dl() is not supported when PHP is built with ZTS support. Use the Extension Loading Directives instead.

ZTS stands for Zend Thread Safety. PHP in XAMPP is build as thread-safe (TS) so it is not supported. Sorry.

best wishes,
