Running PHP from command line windows - php

I have previously installed servers like xampp and appserv but I uninstalled those for some reasons.
and now I want to use php from command line and after I set the path in Environment Variables . and changed the php.ini as some previous answers mentioned it didn't resolve my problem.
I'm guessing that appserv has tampered with some files thus I installed the latest version of PHP Hoping that those libraries will exist but got the same error
and this is the error I get when typing php -v in command line:
php -v PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library

Php extensinos are not installed in your machinge, you can install php extension in linux with apt-get install
For example, if your Php version is 8.1,
sudo apt-get install php#8.1-bz2
sudo apt-get install php#8.1-mbstring
In Windows OS you can enable the Php extensions from .ini file.

I have this problem installing laravel. Actual link is
E:\XAMPPL\php\ext\gettext while it show E:\phpXampp\php\ext\gettext in warning.
How to change the path?

Go to you php installation folder - I'm guessing this is E:\XAMPPL\php\. Open and edit the php.ini file there.
Look for the line containing extension_dir. This is used by php to locate your extensions. Edit this line to:
extension_dir = "E:\XAMPPL\php\ext"
This should solve the problem.
Alternatively, you could just edit it to:
extension_dir = "ext"
They both refer to the same path.

I uninstalled composer and then installed latest composer setup and restarted my PC. And it Worked.

Laravel print to printer

Im trying to add the printer extension to laravel. But I don't know how to do this while using Laravel. It says that I have to add the php_printer.dll to php.ini. But I use Laravel. Does anyone know how I can add this extension to Laravel?
Link:
http://php.net/manual/fa/book.printer.php
Update:
I added the extension in the ext map but now it says that it can not be found
I get the following error:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'php_printer.dll' (tried: C:\xampp\php\ext\php_printer.dll (The specified module could not be found.), C:\xampp\php\ext\php_php_printer.dll.dll (The specified module could not be found.)) in Unknown on line 0

Lets first get the terms right.
The extension you are adding isn't a laravel extension. It is a PHP extension. Laravel is a framework that is written in PHP.
You can not just add the directive into the php.ini file and expect it to work. You also need to install the files. In this case you need to get them from PECL.
The question of how to install is already asked and answereed here installing php_printer on wamp server

If you are using XAMPP, open it up and click on apache->config, you can find php.ini there.

Could somebody help me ? Thanks.
Running in PHPstorm, Win 10

You may need to edit your php.ini file and restart the server. Add absolute paths in php.ini configuration. It worked for xampp server in my windows 8.1 machine.
example:
extension_dir="\xampp\php\ext" to
extension_dir="C:\xampp\php\ext"
Reference: How to fix PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\\php_curl.dll'?
Edit:
Additionally for my some cases, needs to edit
browscap="xampp\php\extras\browscap.ini" to
browscap="C:\xampp\php\extras\browscap.ini"

You are missing the b2z module for php.
Which is normally included in the php package for windows
I would suggest reinstalling php or manually moving the package from the download to the correct folder or switching to a vagrant environment.
Download:
https://windows.php.net/download/
In the folder ext/bz2
Move these folder contents over to the according folder.

Just comment out ;extension=pdo_sqlite in php.ini if you don't need it. It was enabled by default in my configuration and the error message is gone.

I had faced the same problem after updating my php version from 7.0 to the latest version which is 8.1.3 as for now , the solution I used was :-
Just comment the extension in the php.ini found in (C:\xampp\php\php.ini)
extension=gd2
Note: comment by prefixing semicolon at the start

I have fought with this for the last 12 hours on my Windows 10 box. For anyone having the same trouble I am having, you need to edit the php.ini to call out the full name of the DLL file. I had to change pdo_sqlite to php_pdo_sqlite.dll and sqlite3 to php_sqlite3.dll.

after adding php ext dir in php.ini, i also needed to add php dir to windows path (environment variables)

In your php.ini file,
find text=> extension=gd2
and make it ;extension=gd2

For windows 10 users, make open "XAMP" programe, then at apache click button "config"
then edit "php.ini".
#1- remove the semicolon (;) before this line
extension=php_gd.dll
#2- restart xamp
#Problem : when try to "composer update" print error:

To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:

You can also run `php --ini` inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.
