PHP 7.1.16 (cli) (built: Apr 10 2018 18:09:30) ( NTS )

Hello Cygwin,

I have been battling this issue for many weeks now and hoping to get some direction on what to try next.

I have installed php, everything seems to be working except: /usr/lib/php/20160303/php_com_dotnet.dll.

Cygwin PHP does not come with php_com_dotnet.dll so I downloaded from Microsoft. I'm trying to pull data from Visual Fox Pro 8.0 files.

My php.ini file looks like this:

[COM]
[PHP_COM_DOTNET]
extension=php_com_dotnet.dll

But when I execute my code, I get this error:
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/20160303/php_com_dotnet.dll' - No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Class 'COM' not found in /cygdrive/f/php/postcard.php:13
Stack trace:
#0 {main}
  thrown in /cygdrive/f/php/postcard.php on line 13

I have searched forever and can't find a solution.

Why would PHP installation have this dll included for this version of PHP?

<?php

$conn = new COM("ADODB.Connection");
$conn->Open("Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;Data Source=/cygdrive/f/php;Collating Sequence=Machine");

// open in read-only mode
$db = dbase_open('postcard.dbf', 0);

// do some stuff
?>

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Regards,
Larry
