title: PHP Error: Unable to load dynamic library php_intl.dll, not a valid win32 application?
body: <p>I installed <code>WAMPP</code> web server, and now after configuring <code>php.ini</code> to use <em>Netbeans</em> for <code>PHP</code> coding (following this), I had to restart the <code>Apache</code> and <code>MySQL</code> servers. I actually stopped them and tried to start again, and I am getting this error:</p>
  
  <p><strong>PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:xampp\php\ext\php_intl.dll' - %1 is not a valid Wind32 application.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I am on a <code>64 bit Windows 7 OS</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I installed <code>XAMPP v1.8.3</code> (got from <em>www.apachefriends.org</em>)</p>
  
  <p>My <code>PHP</code> version (got from <code>phpinfo()</code> is <code>PHP version 5.5.11</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried solutions to the questions addressing the same issue. </p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17976764/why-cant-php-on-windows-see-extension-php-intl-dll-even-though-it-exists">1.</a> I tried to copy all the <code>icu*.dll</code>'s to apache>bin directory, no joy. They were already there. I did not replace them.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1451468/intl-extension-installing-php-intl-dll">2.</a> I have my <code>extension=php_intl.dll</code> uncommented and points to the right directory. To no gain.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1451468/intl-extension-installing-php-intl-dll">3.</a> I added the directory of <code>icu*.dll</code> files to my system environment variables, did not help.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19883527/1-is-not-a-valid-win32-application-for-php-mysql-dll">4.</a> My <code>php_pdo_firebird.dll</code> in <code>php.ini</code> is already commented out.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Now, not a valid win32 application makes me think I have something for 64bit OS and it should be for 32bit OS.. But what is it? What do I do about it?</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>Please help me resolve this error.</strong> </p>
