Missing dll files in Webuilder 2008

[alex]

Since upgrading to Webuilder 2008 (Version 9.0.0.96) I keep getting an error as I navigate a document relating to php.exe and missing dll files. I will be typing code and all of a sudden it pops up interupting my workflow. The program continues to run and doesn't seem to have any other issues, but the popup is annoying.

The actual error reads:

php.exe - Unable to locate component
This application has failed to start because <INSERT DLL NAME> was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

So far there have been calls for the following dlls:

• CORE_RL_xlib_.dll
• CORE_RL_magick_.dll
• CORE_RL_ttf_.dll
• CORE_RL_lcms_.dll
• LIBR_RL_ZLIB_.dll
• LIBR_RL_TIFF_.dll

These seem to be all the missing dlls as now I have downloaded these I get the following error:

php.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point GetImageGeometry could not be located in the dynamic link library CORE_RL_magick_.dll

I have re-installed Webuilder 2008 and I still get the error. Nothing has changed with my web server setup and PHP seems to be running correctly in a browser environment. I did not have this issue with Webuilder 2007 or Webuilder 2006 which I used previously.

The problem seems to occur most when I am working on PHP code within a file so I think it may be related to the new inline PHP syntax checking or Ruby language support, although I don't know why the latter would affect me as I don't actually use it.

Does anybody know of a way around this, it's getting very annoying while I work.

It seems that you have enabled the Silent Syntax check (this is on by default), but for some reason the syntax check can not be executed.
To switch off it, you need to go to Options -> Preferences -> PHP Settings -> make sure "Enable Realtime PHP Syntax Check" is not marked.
At least this should prevent you from receiving those error messages when editing your PHP files, if you do not want to have the Realtime Syntax Check.

That's all well and good, but what if I want to make use of this excellent feature?

Is there a reason why isn't working? Is it due to my system or the Webuilder 2008 software?

This is because your php installation is corrupted or buggy. These are php DLL files and have nothing to do with WeBuilder.
