Unable to load dynamic library 'php_grpc.dll'

Question

My goal is to connect my laravel project to firestore firebase. I will be needing the grpc in order to continue it. However my problem is the .dll cant be found. I already uploaded the .dll file in ext folder.

I also included it in my php.ini file.

still getting the same error

I dont know if its the version og php and grpc is conflicting.

After applying the comments' suggestions:

@nice_dev just the grpc.dll? anyway, tried it with grpc and grpc.dll, still the same. is the grpc version that im using is relevant? im using 1.43.0-81 for my php 8 — Overley Loley, Oct 24 '22 at 07:18
Ok so it will be `extension=fileinfo` and `extension=grpc`.. Remove the `.dll` as well. — nice_dev, Oct 24 '22 at 07:20
Have you checked this stackoverflow [link1](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56395404/not-able-to-load-php-grpc-dll-for-php-5-6-in-xampp-for-windows) & [link2](https://stackoverflow.com/a/25027173/18265638) — Sathi Aiswarya, Oct 24 '22 at 07:52
@nice_dev yes, it's the php.ini. the php.ini that is also connected to the visual studio code. — Overley Loley, Oct 24 '22 at 07:53
@OverleyLoley Now that I see the pic again, there seems to be some compatibility issue with Win32. — nice_dev, Oct 24 '22 at 07:55
@SathiAiswarya tried it, stll doesnt solved my problem. thanks — Overley Loley, Oct 24 '22 at 08:01
@OverleyLoley First step would be to install the right grpc package according to your PHP version and Operating system. — nice_dev, Oct 24 '22 at 08:08
@nice_dev i want to download the latest ver in https://pecl.php.net/package/grpc, however it doesnt have the dll file and it's just the .tgz file. Thats why I just downloaded 1.43.0 — Overley Loley, Oct 24 '22 at 08:10
Ok, it is difficult for me to trace and solve such type of issues without getting the control of the machine. — nice_dev, Oct 24 '22 at 08:26
@nice_dev do u know how can i download the 1.50.0 dll package from this website? https://pecl.php.net/package/grpc — Overley Loley, Oct 24 '22 at 08:35

You need to mention extensions without php_ and .dll prefix and suffix like below:

 extension=fileinfo
 extension=grpc

Restart Apache server if required. You can also check for php version on the command line using php --version. If it shows the version without any warnings/errors, it means the extensions are loaded correctly.
Also, as the error message in your screenshot suggests, you need to install the right thread safe package of GRPC relevant to your operating system architecture and PHP version from https://pecl.php.net/package/grpc

Since nice_dev pointed out it was a compatibilit issue. I downloaded the non thread x64 and used it. It worked. Been using the x84, maybe the reason why it's not working.
