dll in PHP

[deepsheep]

I'm trying to use functions from a dll in php. I am getting the following error:

Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\php\lsd.dll' - The specified module could not be found. in Unknown on line 0

I'm using IIS. I've included the dll in the extensions in the ini file. I've ensured the dll is in the correct folder. I'm also using the mssql extension which works perfectly.

My co-worker wrote this dll. From what I've read, I should be able to include it. If the dll is 'bad', I think I should get a different error. Here's some information on production dlls:

Any insight would be muchly appreciated!

Could the dll be crashing on load?
Could the username IIS runs as not have permissions to the file?

I think the problem may be with the dll. After banging my head with php for many hours, I tried to use it with a visual basic application and recived "file not found" errors. It was in the system32 dirctory and in the directory with my project, it should have been able to find it. If anyone has any excellent sources on making dlls in C I would appricate it.

That is outside the scope of this forum. I recommend that you ask about this in one of the c-language fora.
