WAMP Server: phpMyAdmin showing loads of Deprecation Notices & errors? - php

I'm working with WAMP Server for local development, As WAMP does not ship with PHP 7.1, I installed it manually as I needed that version for a project to work.
I downloaded the binaries from the PHP site (Thread Safe version) and placed it inside wamp64/bin/php/php7.1.8 and renamed the php.ini for development file to phpForApache.ini and had to change the extension dir for modules to load also.
After all of that I went on phpMyAdmin and here is an example:
There is many more errors of the same type.
My question is how do I solve them?
I am running 4.6.4 for phpMyAdmin...

These errors came mostly cause of your phpMyAdmin version is not compatible with php version please first sure the cause of issue.
So you have to download the latest version of phpMyAdmin phpMyAdmin-download-link
Download the latest version from upper right green button
Then extract that zip file in wampp/apps directory and remove all-languages from folder name and remove - from behind the version number this is not necessary but doing this to set a conventional name which will help us while we changing version number in files.
Copy config.inc.php file from older version folder and paste in new version folder which one you extract.
Edit phpMyAdmin version in phpmyadmin.conf file found in wamp/alias directory.
Edit wampmanager.conf file found in wampp/ directory if you found phpMyAdmin version defined in this file because I am not sure probably they removed it from latest version of wamp.
Hop you found this helpful if yes please vote, happy codding 😊

Cannot load imagick library

I have installed the imagick from here (ImageMagick-7.0.3-1-Q16-x64-dll) and the dll (TS 32 bit) from here. And also copiend the CORE_RL_* to the C:\xampp\apache\bin BUT still i get the following error when i run the laravel server.
ERROR: Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\xampp\php\ext\php_imagick.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
in Unknown on line 0
Also, I placed dll file in C:\xampp\php\ext\php_imagick.dll.
Also, the imagick is shown in the phpinfo().
And when i use it using laravel i get the following error.
getting Imagick to work on Windows has always been a bit hit and miss as pointed out here is a good guide
http://stackoverflow.com/a/36378764/1090867
But it misses an important point
You do not need to put the binary into the PHP folder!
So here are the steps I follow myself every time I need to do this. This should work for apache, Nginx, or IIS.
Step 1
find out your php version and setting
You need to version, Architecture, Compiler and Thread Safety
if Thread Safety is disabled this is NTS is enabled it will TS
Step 2
Get and install a copy of ImageMagick and make sure it matches your Architecture, this also needs to be dll.exe rather than the static version.
Regarding Q8 and Q16 I'll leave that to you but both versions will work
Link
I recommend changing the install directory name to something generic like
C:\Imagemagick since I've had some problems in the past with the default directory name with PHP and windows.
Just install but make sure you tick add application path and I normally tick the legacy utils as well.
Once it's installed go to your environment variables and make sure it is actually in the path. There is no need to copy anything to your PHP folder
Just to make sure everything is working open the command line and type convert --version you should get a response
Step 3
This unfortunately is the hard part and can be a bit of trial and error. I've found the following provides the best php_imagick.dll that seems to work 9 times out of 10
http://www.peewit.fr/imagick/
Just pick the version that matches your install.
If this doesn't work then go to php.net and try each version until one works... (start at the latest)
http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/imagick/
Once you have a php_imagick.dll put it into your php/ext/ folder
thne locate your php.ini file go to the bottom (or whereever your extensions are) and add extension=php_imagick.dll
Step 4
Restart PHP (or your computer) and it should be working if not try a different php_imagick.dll and repeat.
If the above doesn't work
Then try a slightly older version of Imagick I normally use version 6.8.6-8 Q16.
Please note I've only ever really done this on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008, 2008 R2, 2012, and 2012 R2 all x64 with x86 PHP
If this still doesn't work then you probably need to copy over the CORE_RL files into your Imagick directory this normally causes more issues but if you are running out ideas then give it a go
I just ran into this issue. Only I'm using PHP on the command line (PHP CLI). The problem is the dependencies that the main php_imagick.dll file has. PHP will attempt to load the extension but since Windows can't find the CORE_RL_ DLLs, the extension will fail to load and the error/warning message about being unable to load the DLL will appear. It helps to know how Windows loads DLLs:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682586(v=vs.85).aspx
It's pretty convoluted but you can see that the reason the Apache /bin directory trick works with Apache is that httpd.exe is located in that directory. However, when using PHP CLI, the DLLs need to be located in the same directory as php.exe.
If you don't want duplicate DLLs floating around, add the directory containing php.exe to the system PATH and plop all the CORE_RL_ DLLs there. The PATH is the last thing searched, but it'll work fine. If you don't want spurious entries in your system PATH, then set the extra PATH information only during startup of Apache.
This is because the dependencies are missing. Those who are facing the same error Unable to load dynamic library 'php_imagick', Please follow the below steps
Go to https://pecl.php.net/package/imagick choose a stable version and click on the DLL link.
From the DLL list click the link which, is suitable for your PHP version.
After downloading the php_imagick zip file, extract it and copy the php_imagick.dll file to C:\xampp\php\ext folder.
Extract all DLL files from the php_imagick zip file (except php_imagick.dll) to the PHP root directory (where you have php.exe). Ex: For XAMPP user C:\xampp\php folder.
Add extension=php_imagick to your php.ini file.
Restart the Apache server.
Things to keep in mind before choosing from the DLL list.
Check the PHP version.
Check the architecture (x64/x86).
Check Thread Safety (enabled/disabled).
N.B: Above solution is for XAMPP users only.
I changed php_imagick in php.ini file to php_imagick.dll and it happened
I had the same problem. It turns out I have to install complete ImageMagic application, not just ImageMagic php extension.
And I also set MAGICK_HOME environment variable.

Change php configuration file in PhpStorm

I have installed WAMP server on my computer and tried to configure the PHP Interpreter in PhpStorm but it keeps pointing to the wrong php.ini file.
How can I change it to the correct one?
Let me know if you need more information.
Edit
The place where php.ini that WAMP tells me to edit is C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin\php.ini
The one that PhpStorm is pointing to has a big DO NOT EDIT label on it.
If this is for a website you are attempting to write then you need to point your Configuration File at
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache{version}\bin\php.ini
NOTE
There are PHP ADDONS provided for PHP7 that will install into the existing WAMPServer 3.0.x and the latest is PHP7.0.8 found here or from SourceForge
I had the same problem, and I backed up the original php.ini content inside bin\php\php7.0xxx folder, and I replaced the content with the php.ini inside C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache{version}\bin\php.ini, and then restarted phpstorm and it worked.

How to repair wamp server without re-installing?

After making changes in php.ini by uncommenting

Now the first error got fixed and now throwing this error mentioned below:
Later i also installed visual c++ 2008 to fix this error but unsuccessful. I have many important databases which i have not taken back up also. I am trying to repair this wamp server without re-installing. Can anybody please assist me with this.
Thanks in Advance
go to the wamp/scripts folder
open console
run:
php refresh.php
this should recreate wampmanager.ini
(requires wampmanager.tpl file in wamp folder.

This document may help you How to uninstall WAMPServer without actually uninstalling it
The idea is that you uninstall your current version without actually running the unninstall and without actually deleting any files from your existing install.
You then rename the current wamp folder and then install the same version of wamp, make sure it works, and then copy all your sites and databases to the new installed wamp. If you install exactly the version of WAMP you have currently then you can copy the whole of the .../mysqlx.y.z/data folder and all you databases and users should be there on the new install.
This gets over whatever damage was done to your existing install. You may need to edit the php.ini and httpd.conf to match your existing configuration. I suggest you do not do a straight copy of either of these files as that may just get you to where you are now.
Fixed by installing wamp again into the same directory by renaming the older wamp. I just replaced wampmanager.ini file of new to the old one. Earlier it was just a little piece of code i pasted in wampmanager.ini file. But now it is a big one which fixed this issue. Thanks a lot for you guys, your suggestions saved my time. I did not change anything with php.ini also.
Backup all YOUR databases in SQL format and store the backups somewhere safe.
Stop All Services.
Remove the Apache Service.
Remove the MySQL Service.
Exit WAMPServer.
Rename your current \wamp folder to \wamp_old (This is your backup. DONT FORGET THIS STEP)
To all intents and purpose, you have uninstalled WAMPServer now.
7. Download and Install the new WAMPServer version
(32bit is recommended, 64bit is only for geeks and 64bit PHP is not yet fully converted to 64bit)
Change NOTHING! Check it works in its out of the box state.
Clear your browser cache ( CTRL+F5 ) to avoid any funnies with cached content.
Run localhost
Run phpMyAdmin (If asked for a Username and password; username = root / password = (nothing, leave this blank)
Run \wamp\www\testmysql.php. you will need to edit the file and change the "mysql_connect('127.0.0.1', 'root', '')"
If you want to bring some/all of your old versions of Apache/PHP/MySQL into the new WAMPServer
(Remember, one of the big advantages in WAMPServer is the ability to switch between versions of Apache/PHP and MySQL)
Apache: copy \wamp_old\bin\apache\apachex.y.z folder to \wamp\bin\apache\apachex.y.z
PHP: copy \wamp_old\bin\php\phpx.y.z folder to \wamp\bin\php\phpx.y.z
MYSQL: copy \wamp_old\bin\mysql\mysqlx.y.z folder to \wamp\bin\mysql\mysqlx.y.z
To tell WAMPServer about the old version of Apache/PHP/MySQL you just copied across run a "refresh",
right click the wampmanager icon -> Refresh
Give it a few seconds to go find all the new versions.
Compare your old configs with the new configs, move over any of your local change/requirements.
Remember, config parameters change between versions of Apache/PHP/MySQL !
Make sure your old changes are still required, valid, legal. ( Check the upgrade notes provided by all 3 software providers )
If it all goes horribly wrong. Check the bottom of this Doc to see how to unwind all these changes easily if you get problems.
help you
I have had the same issue. I am working with WAMP 2.5 version. The content of "wampmanager.ini" is OK but it's possible that the php path is wrong. Check folders of section [StartupAction], in my case my php version is "php5.5.12". Surely the error message "The directory name is invalid" was for this.
In win10 you can just right click on the wampmanager.ini file in the root and select Restore Previous Version, then just choose one from a few days ago when it worked.
i have similair issue in the morning and searched SO and other forums but none of the solution worked for me.
It was
syntax error on line number 561 (due to MariaDB)
After checking all wamp installation for MariaDB, i find out that file at root: wampmanager.conf contain lines about MariaDB. I removed all of those and then restarted wamp. It worked like charm!
Rename the wamp folder, you can just add a 1 or 0 to somehing like wamp641 then
re-install wamp server
3.copy paste the mysql and project folders from Bin and WWW respectively from the renamed wamp folder to the newly created folder after installation so that you dont loose any database and project files from your previous projects.
4 start your wamp and it should work well.

Configure LDAP certificate dir in PHP 5.5.x (Windows)

Until version 5.4, when PHP was compiled from its source, LDAP extension was hard coded to look for its certificates in c:\openldap\sysconf folder. Since 5.5, this 'harcode' was replace by an environment variable called %SYSCONFDIR%. However i can't make LDAP extension point to the same dir it did before, no matter what i do! :(
In PHP 5.4, ldap_config.h
#define LDAP_SYSCONFDIR "c:\\openldap\\sysconf"
In PHP 5.5, ldap_config.h
#define LDAP_SYSCONFDIR "%SYSCONFDIR%"
Sorry for my bad english.
Any clue? Thanks.
Download the latest version of PHP 5.5.
This has been resolved in the PHP 5.5.4 binaries from windows.php.net. The LDAP extension looks for "c:\openldap\sysconf\ldap.conf" as it had done in 5.4.
I ran a trace with Sysinternals Process Explorer and it revealed that php_ldap was attempting to open the file C:\Apache24\%SYSCONFDIR%\ldap.conf, where %SYSCONFDIR% is interpreted literally and not expanded from the contents of an environment variable.
I have Apache installed in C:\Apache24, but obviously the exact path will vary depending on the name of your Apache folder.
In the root folder of your Apache installation, create a folder named %SYSCONFDIR% (literally!) and put ldap.conf in there. That solved it for me.
It seems that it will be fixed by php team in the next release.

php_dio & php_win32service won't work on wamp server 2.5

I'm trying to use php_dio & php_win32service because I want to query COM10 on my server using php and also get status & restart some of my win services.
Although I'm using the correct dlls (for PHP 5.5 X64 thread safe) I keep getting warning icon on the extensions and there is no error on php log.
I'm clueless what can be done.
please advise.
The Warning icon is presented in that menu for 2 possible reasons
The extension=php_xxx.dll exists in the php.ini file but the dll does not exist in the \ext folder.
The dll exists in \ext folder but the extension=php_xxx.dll line does not exist in the php.ini file.
So which did you forget to do?
Also remember there are 2 php.ini files :-
The one in \wamp\bin\php\php{version}\php.ini is used by PHP CLI only
The one you can edit using the wampmanager->PHP->php.ini menus which is used by when running under Apache.
You say you have used the correct dll's but just to be sure for WAMPServer 2.5 using Apache2.2.9 you need the Thread Safe + VC11 compiled versions
