Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/ext/php_intl.dll'

Question

I am attempting to connect from an android app to mySQL database within the WAMP server. I am getting this error consistently throughout my php_error log:

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/ext/php_intl.dll'
             The specified module could not be found.

in Unknown on line 0

When I click on the Apache>Version>2.4.9 I get the 2 following errors as pop ups:

The program cant start because icuuc51.dll is missing from your computer.
Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem

and

PHP startup: unable to load dynamic library 'c/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/ext/php_intl.dll'
The specified module could not be found.

Does anyone know what is causing this or any potential solutions?

Answer 1

This can be corrected very simply as follows.

Using the wampmanager menus do the following :-

left click wampmanager -> Apache -> Version

and then click the version number, probably 2.4.9

This will cause WAMPServer to rebuild of all the SYMLINK's in the apache2.4.9/bin folder and that will put the correct symlinks in there for these 2 extensions.

TO CORRECT THE SECOND ISSUE

Edit the \wamp\script\config.inc.php file and find the code that sets this variable $phpDllToCopy and replace it with this code.

$phpDllToCopy = array (

Answer 2

You simply need to install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4
