%1 is not a valid Win32 application for php_mysql.dll

问题

Im trying to set up a AMP installation on my windows 8 laptop. However, Im not being able to get PHP to talk to MySQL. When I start apache server, the following error log is generated

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\\php_mysql.dll' - %1 is not a valid Win32 application.\r\n in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\\php_mysqli.dll' - %1 is not a valid Win32 application.\r\n in Unknown on line ..

Any idea why this could be happening?

回答1:

For me it helped to not load php_pdo_firebird.dll in the PHP installation, because this is being loaded in the PHP distribution.
