In PHP 7.2 libsodium should be part of PHP core. Is any entry in php.ini file required to make it work or maybe it should work out of the box?
I'm trying with PHP Version 7.2.0beta2 and functions like sodium_version_string() or sodium_compare are unknown. I'm using PHP docker box (7.2-rc-fpm)
Just in case - I haven't installed any PECL extension because as far as I understand it shouldn't be necessary.
In order for this extension to be built, the library has to be present, as long as the development headers.
In addition, the --with-sodium option has to be given to the ./configure script before compiling PHP.
If you don't want to recompile PHP, you can install the PECL version, which offers the exact same API (I usually update the PECL version first, and then port the changes to the PHP source code).

I am trying to install SPL_Types extension in my PHP 7.1.8 compiled from source.
I have tried with sudo pecl install SPL_Types and compiling the extension from source, but I get the following output:
https://mega.nz/#!WE5WjajQ!QyVxMYWrsUiDF6Gq09psYBpR5Y336v26PusnlBNd8bg
I know it's not cool to post links, but I was not able to put the hole output here.
This extension is outdated now and cannot be build with PHP 7.x. Latest version of this lib released at 2012 and supports only PHP 5.4. Native scalar type declarations support makes this extension mostly useless (maybe except for SplEnum).
With PHP 7.x many of internal PHP API was have significantly changed. As you can see in the attached output, source code of the extension uses dozens of outdated APIs (most of errors caused by missing macros, wrong data types, etc).
For the extension to be built with the new version, it must be updated accordingly: Upgrading PHP extensions from PHP5 to NG. If you are not familiar with C you can try to use unofficial fork or polyfill.
Is there a version of Mailparse that works with PHP 5.6.2? I installed it this morning using pecl install mailparse and it placed mailparse.so in what seems to be the wrong location and when I view it in Finder it shows up as a document.
I decided for the heck of it to copy it to the appropriate folder and when I execute the code the uses it I get these messages:
Warning: PHP Startup: mailparse: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20121212
PHP compiled with module API=20131226
These options need to match
in Unknown on line 0
FYI, I'm not a PHP expert by any stretch.
For php 5.6 and debian first install php5-dev module:
apt-get install php5-dev
and next use latest build for php5, which is currently:
pecl install mailparse-2.1.6
If mailparse is already installed you can remove it before any action:
pecl uninstall mailparse-2.1.6
Officially, no, there's not.
http://php.net/manual/en/mailparse.installation.php
Windows users will enable php_mailparse.dll inside of php.ini in order
to use these functions. A DLL for this PECL extension is currently
unavailable. See also the building on Windows section.
It seems to be just a matter of compiling, so anyone should be able to compile it and share the DLL, but as far as I know no one has done this.
mailparse hasn't had a release for some years - though the git repo is showing recent work (April 2015). I recently used it for a project, however the version I used had some issues in decoding the display-name & email from a list of not perfectly formatted string of multiple names.
I've since installed mmucklo/email-parse and I'm using that as a native PHP solution on PHP 5.6.
I have problems with the Pthreads PHP extension. I have compiled PHP with ZTS enabled (--enable-maintainer-zts) and installed the pthreads via pecl and also tried to manually compile the extension.
It seems I don't actually know how to use it. I assumed I would be able to use the Thread class in PHP like any other built-in class, but with no luck as PHP doesn't recognize it. POSIX functions seem to work.
I am using Ubuntu 12.10 Server 64-bit with mod_php 5.4.6.
If you cannot access the extensions classes then it is not loaded.
I think you opened a bug report, to which I responded that your configure line is malformed.
The configure line you want to use is:
./configure --enable-pthreads --enable-maintainer-zts
The above command will build pthreads as a DSO.
./configure --enable-pthreads=static --enable-maintainer-zts
The above command will build pthreads statically into PHP.
Both are equally supported by 5.3, 5.4 and even 5.5.
Additionally, if you are overwriting your system installation then you should use a specific --prefix, for example, if you php executable is at /usr/bin ( which you can ascertain with "which php" ), then --prefix=/usr will overwrite your system installation.
Clean out your old installations ( do make uninstall if the sources are still available ). Start again, ensure you are either, overwriting the system installation or isolating this one completely.
Please update the bug report when you have worked it out.
I am trying to compile the imagemagick (imagick) extension to use in a non-thread-safe environment on windows.
I am using PHP 5.3.10 and have set up Visual C++ express as my compiling environment.
The problem is that I am using a non-thread-safe version of PHP as a FCGI module in Apache 2.2.
Thus, my PHP is supplied with a php5.lib and not a php5ts.lib. I believe this is the reason why I am getting these errors:
imagick.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__tsrm_mutex_alloc referenced in function _zm_startup_imagick
I have only ever built and compiled things on linux, so am not too sure how to do this on a windows environment.
How can I compile the extension so that it is non-thread-safe?
I downloaded the threadsafe binary of PHP 5.3.10 to get a copy of php5ts.lib. I was then able to compile the extension.
I am guessing that setting the ZTS preprocessor directive to either 1 or 0 would cause the extension to compile as either threadsafe or non-thread-safe. (Not too sure about this, so if someone could let me know if this is correct or not, it would be much appreciated. :) )
I then set up a virtual machine running Windows 7 and installed the latest version of WAMP. Reason being that it used a threadsafe version of PHP.
I placed the dll in the ext folder in the PHP installation and enabled it in php.ini. However, even after trying both the ts and nts version in WAMP, I would get:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.10/ext/imagick.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
in Unknown on line 0
But the thing is that c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.10/ext/imagick.dll' does exist, and yes I have checked this a lot of times.
I then downgraded ImageMagick to 6.6.2-10-Q16, but still see the same problem.
The same issue occurs on my dev machine running a nts version of PHP 5.3.10 on Apache 2.2 (all installed manually).
Looks like I could be wrong regarding the ZTS preprocessor. If I set ZTS=0 and compile, using dependency walker on the compiled dll still shows that it requires php5ts.dll which is only present on threadsafe versions of PHP.
I did more tinkering with dependency walker and found that I had to statistically link to msvc100d.dll. I then removed ZTS in the preprocessor definition and was able to compile using php5.lib instead of php5ts.dll. I think this should get me a non-ts dll.
However, when loading the extension, I am still getting:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'imagick.dll' in Unknown on line 0
And errors from dependency walker:
Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
Error: Modules with different CPU types were found.
Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.
Installed visual c++ express 2008 and compiled using platform toolkit v90, but still facing the same issues.
Any tips appreciated :)
Solution Found! See my answer.
Got it! I hope this can help those compiling php extensions on windows in the future. What I have done is based on: https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild
Note: I read an answer on this site that said compiling PHP extensions by itself on windows is unsupported. Based on my experiments yesterday, it seems to be a lot of work as well, so I am using the PHP build process.
The best way is to use the PHP build process.
Install Visual C++ Express 2008 (any version will do, but express is free) and Windows SDK 6.1 (note that we want the 6.1 version not anything older or newer).
Install the SVN client tools if you haven't done so and restart for your PATH variable to take effect.
Get the PHP SDK binary tools and extract it to C:\php-sdk.
Start the CMD Shell under Microsoft Windows SDK v6.1 in your start menu and run cd C:\php-sdk.
Run setenv /x86 /xp /release this creates a 32-bit release. You can use /x64 to build a 64-bit release (I have not tried this).
run bin\phpsdk_setvars.bat
run bin\phpsdk_buildtree.bat php53dev
Download the PHP source code and extract it to C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86 so that you end up with C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86\php5.3-xyz
Download the latest deps and extract everything to C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86. You may be prompted to overwrite any existing folders, so press yes.
run cd C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86
Check out the latest version of your extension from the svn repository: svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/pecl/imagick/trunk pecl/imagick I am checking out imagick here.
Install any dependencies. In my case, I need to install ImageMagick, so I downloaded the latest recommended windows binary. You will need to restart after installation to update your PATH variable, but you can do this after you have compiled. Make sure you install the C/C++ headers and includes as well.
Copy the contents of the includes directory from the ImageMagick install directory to C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86\deps\include.
Copy the contents of the lib directory from the ImageMagick install directory to C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86\deps\lib
Now, let's build: run cd C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86\php5.3-xyz then buildconf then configure --help. Look at the help properly. It will show you all config flags and any avaliable extensions to enabled. In my case, since I added imagick, I had an option called --with-imagick
Run config: configure --enable-cli --with-imagick=shared --disable-zts If you want to build a non-thread-safe binary use --disable-zts, otherwise remove that configuration flag. I am not sure why, but sometimes extensions use the --with-myextension flag and sometimes --enable-myextension, so check configure --help for the flag to use. If you add =shared after the extension flag, it will be compiled as a separate DLL, which si what we want.
Compile: run nmake then nmake snap.
Done :) Check C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86\php-5.3.10\Release (non-thread-safe) or C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86\php-5.3.10\Release_TS (thread-safe). Your compiled binaries should be in there. The compiled extensions (pecl), should be in a ZIP file similiar to pecl-5.3.10-nts-Win32-VC9-x86.zip. Open this file and extract the extensio DLL to your ext folder in your PHP installation.
Enable the PHP extension and restart your webserver. Run phpinfo() and check that the extension is enabled.
If the extension does not work properly, make sure you reboot to update your PATH variable. In my case, I need to have the imagemagick install directory in my PATH variable.

Profit!
Is there a reason you need to compile? Why not download? It's usually much simpler/quicker on Windows.

I've been trying to install some PECL extensions on my laptop, but I've ran into a few problems. Whenever I run pecl install whatever from the command line I get a message saying ".\php.exe appears to have a suffix .exe, but config variable php". It seems like PECL is using PEAR to perform installations. I checked and php_suffix is located in the files PEAR_Config.php and PEAR_Builder.php, but I'm not sure what to do with it in there.
Any ideas on how to fix this or workarounds? Unfortunately the pecl4win seems to be down, and http://downloads.php.net/pierre/ the site I usually go to for the .dll's has outdated versions for the version of PHP I'm using (5.3.1).
Unfortunately I don't know the specifics, but at least I can point you in the right direction To use pecl on windows, you need to setup Visual Studio c/c++ or MingW32 c/c++ and then configure pecl to use either compiler for building the requested extensions.
Unlike pear packages, pecl packages are PHP c extensions that needed to be compiled against your local PHP install.
Update
https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild A mostly friendly wiki page on setting up a windows box for building PHP from source. Looks like you need to build the interpreter and support libraries before you can get pecl working.
