Thanks Jeff that did it.

You're loading mbstring in php.ini

Somewhere in your php.ini file is the line:

extension=php_mbstring.dll

...or similar. As well, in your PHP directory there is a copy of php_mbstring.dll that is not compatible with PHP 5.2.2. You need to get rid of both of these things in order for this to work.

Make that 5.2.2, PHP extension loading

@billk - Yes, 5.2.2, sorry.

@JeffG - OK, but I'm not aware of loading any PHP extensions. Is this something that happens during the virgin install of Komodo? If so, can I force that to happen again after the PHP update?

I did discover that the behavior is linked to Editor-> Smart Editing -> Enable background syntax checking after XXXX msecs.
Disabling that stops the warnings at every change to the file.

TIA,

DRHansen

That's correct

The only was to get that error message is if you are trying to load an extension that was built for a different version of PHP.

Do you mean php 5.2.2?

I had a similar problem after I upgraded to php 5.2.2 After surfing around a little, I took a guess and copied (after backing up, of course) the libmysql.dll in my previous (5.0.*) installation over the new one.

That seemed to do it for me.

PHP Startup: xxx : Unable to initialize module

DRHansen — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 14:35:25 -0700

Using Open Komodo 4.3 on WinXPP.

All was working fine until I updated PHP to 2.5.2 today. Now whenever I open any .php file I get:

Warning

      PHP Startup: mbstring: Unable to initialize module
      Module compiled with module API=20050922, debug=0, thread safety=1
      PHP compiled with module API=20060613,debug=0,  thread safety=1
      These options need to match.

The warning is repeated for curl, gd, and mysql. They're also repeated several time.

How can I stop the warnings or fix the problem?

Thanks,

DRHansen
