I have installed MAMP 3.5 with Apache 2.4.16 on Yosemite 10.10.5 and have run into some obstacles that I find hard to solve.
The first issue was that virtual host settings have changed in Apache but that I managed to fix.
The remaining problem is with extensions. I use gettext in an application and it can not be found.
php -v says PHP 5.6.10 (cli)
phpinfo() says PHP 5.5.27
php --ini says /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.6.10/conf/php.ini
The php.ini path seems to be correct although phpinfo() says that extension_dir is /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212
This seems very strange to me? The gettext extension is not in this directory but is found along with all other relevant extensions in the directory listed in the php.ini file for PHP 5.6.10 which is the one that should be used...
Any ideas what has gone wrong and how I can make PHP use the correct ini file?
CLI uses the installed version of OSX, MAMP uses it's own version.
The easiest way to use same version for both is to add the MAMP version first in your path in ~/.bash_profile.
export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.0/bin/:~/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
of course you need to replace the php7.0.0 part with the version you want to use.
Quit your terminal app and reopen it, and try php -v again.

I'm having huge problems installing memcached extension for php.
Currently using:
OS: Windows 10 x64
PHP: 7.0.1 via XAMPP
Apache: 2.4.18 (Win32)
I have successfully installed memcached in C:/memcached the service is running.
But the problem starts when trying to add the memcache php extension. I've tried numerous versions of php_memcache.dll and non seem to be working. I did include the extension in php.ini extension=php_memcache.dll
When i run php -m memcache is not listed and at the top i recieve the error:
PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\xampp\php\ext\php_memcache.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
And when I try running a test.php for memcache initialization i recive the Class not found exception
This is a huge problem, because I need it for running selenium tests.
The memcached service doesn't actually install the PHP memcached extension for you. It only installs the memcached server used to store your cache.
You'll need to download the Windows DLL from the PECL repository first (click on the blue Windows DLL link). Then you must add the extension=php_memcache.dll line to the correct php.ini file for your SAPI. Also, note the extension DLL file needs to be placed in the correct path for your XAMPP installation.
For Apache, simply create a script in your document root with the line <?php phpinfo(); and try loading that in your web browser. You should see a line at the top labeled Loaded configuration (php.ini) which gives you the full path to your loaded php.ini file. On Windows the path may actually appear different than what is stated in phpinfo() if you installed PHP through something like XAMPP. So you may need to rely on XAMPP to locate the correct php.ini file.
For the CLI SAPI, you can use php.exe --ini to do the same. Again, you may need to rely on the XAMPP package if it has modified your configuration path (since this is a compile time directive).
After making your changes to php.ini you will need to restart PHP for the changes to take effect.
Since you're using PHP 7 on Windows it's probably also important to note that the compiled DLL from PECL may not actually work under apache for Windows, because you're more than likely using a theaded SAPI. So make sure you are downloading the correct version. As far as I can tell that version is only compiled to work with up to PHP 5.6. The github alternative, for PHP 7, available at https://github.com/nono303/PHP7-memcahe-dll as mentioned in the comments is tested under non-thread safe. So you may only be able to get this working for your CLI scripts on Windows.
I am trying to install the Libsodium PHP extension using PECL, but I have no idea how to get the dll files needed. I want to use it with Wampserver on Windows 7 (64-bit).
Can any one help me?
Here is How I did it.
Download the libsodium from here > For PHP 7.0, For PHP 5.6 And For PHP 5.5 (All x64). #One Important Note, Please download appropriate x86-32 bit or x64-64 bit of this extension matching of your environment from here
Extract the Downloaded file and copy libsodium.dll to wamp->bin->php->php5(x).x.xx Folder
Copy php_libsodium.dll From the extracted File to wamp->bin->php->php5(x).x.xx ->ext
Now Click on the WAMP System tray icon.
Go to PHP-> PHP Settings and Click on the enable dl from the menu of the WampManager from the system tray
Now Add bellow line to php.ini from PHP -> php.ini from the menu of Wampmanager, save and close it
extension=php_libsodium.dll
Now Restart Apache or click Restart All Services from the menu of WampManager
You should now get your php_libsodium in the extensions of the php Up and Running.
:)
**I didn't notice that, this question is 4 months old. I hope You have solved this.
use command prompt :
pecl install libsodium
and go to wamp folder find php.ini in php folder :
append this line: to ini file
extension=libsodium.so
You might be able to achieve this result by running php5enmod libsodium, depending on which webserver you use. Make sure you restart your webserver after installing PECL libsodium
here is good references:
https://paragonie.com/book/pecl-libsodium/read/00-intro.md#installing-libsodium
You can download the dll files you need here: http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/libsodium/1.0.2/
Select the version that corresponds with your PHP version, compiler and architecture. (this can be checked using phpinfo(); on your machine)
Copy php_libsodium.dll to "ext" directory (C:\PHP\ext)
Copy libsodium.dll to root of PHP directory (C:\PHP)
Add extension=php_libsodium.dll to php.ini
restart apache
This worked on a standalone version of PHP running on Windows 7, I see no reason why this shouldn't work on WAMP or XAMP.
Wamp 3.2.0 64-bit
Even though in the past apparently more steps were required (see my comment from 2018), today I installed Wamp 3.2.0 64-bit, and when I got an error about libsodium not working, I was able to easily fix it by:
Wamp tray icon > PHP > PHP Extensions > ensure "sodium" is checked
(Wamp will automatically refresh)
I was pleasantly surprised that is worked!
You can also use https://github.com/paragonie/sodium_compat. You can simply use :
composer require paragonie/sodium_compat
So I've tried almost all the tutorials I've found here and on other sources but the problem is always the same. The extension is not installed when I call the phpinfo method.
I've added the file mongo.so to the extensions folder and I've called it on the php.ini as extension=mongo.so.
I'm using MAMP 2.2 on Mavericks and the php version is 5.5.3.
Appreciate any kind of help.
The output of phpinfo() will tell you which php.ini file (if any) is in use.
You have to modify that php.ini file and add extension=mongo.so and then restart your webserver.
One thing you need to keep in mind when you are installing the MongoDB driver for MAMP is the pecl command you are using is actually the MAMP command, not some alternative PHP install you may have on your system.
To do this, locate the PHP binary distributed with MAMP, and the use the full path to the pecl command of the MAMP installation.
I'm trying to install XDebug on my local machine with Win 7, Apache 2, PHP 5.3.6 TS VC9 build (server manually installed, no package). I've followed instructions at http://xdebug.org/find-binary.php:
I've downloaded dll, moved to dir with other extensions, added following code to C:\Windows\php.ini, restarted server and - in contrary to my expectations - xdebug is neither installed nor listed in phpinfo page.
zend_extension="E:\www\server\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.1.2-5.3-vc9.dll"
Altough I've gone trough my phpinfo and XDebug site several times I still have no idea what can cause this problem. Do you have any suggestions how to get XDebug working please?
Thank you
According to netbeans manual you have to add the xdebug configuration file to the apache php ini directory and not the local php ini directory to make it work with anykind of wamp.
1) http://wiki.netbeans.org/HowToConfigureXDebug
2) Definition of wamp: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAMP
try zend_extension**_ts**=...
and the in a console fire php -m to see whats in. No need to restart server
I "solved" the problem by updating from 5.3.6 to 5.3.8. I dont know where the problem was, but update and it will work fine. (I used http://xdebug.org/find-binary.php)
I have Windows 2003 Standard, IIS 6, PHP, MySQL and amy trying to get mcrypt working so I can use phpMyAdmin.
I have uncommended php_mcrypt.dll in php.ini and this file is in my extensions folder (c:\php).
I have downloaded libmcrypt.dll to c:\php, c:\php\ext, c:\windows, c:\windows\system32. I have also found a second version of this file on the next and tried that. After each change I have restarted IIS.
Whatever I try mcrypt does not seem to be loaded when I check php_info();. But there are no errors showing.
Is there another version of php_mcrypt.dll? does anyone have a version of phpMyAdmin that does not need mcrypt? Has anyone experienced this problem / have a solution?
All help will be greatly apprecaited.
Many thanks,
Tim
I had the same problem and found that the version of libmcrypt.dll I had was corrupt and when I downloaded a version from the net it was fine. As you have already done this I doubt this helps?
We had the same issue on W2k3(x64)/IIS6/PHP5.2.17. Copying libmcrypt.dll to %WINDIR%\SysWOW64 and an IISRESET solved the problem.
Make sure your extension_dir in php.ini points to the right path (e.g. c:/php5/ext)
Try restarting windows after each change instead of IIS.
libmcrypt.dll only has to be in c:\windows\system32
To be sure mcrypt is (not) loaded, use phpinfo() to check.
I'm also having difficulty getting mcrypt to load, but above has helped me a lot in getting closer to a solution.
Try starting php from the commandline with php -m. It will show you a list of loaded modules.
I was having a weird issue with Win 2k3 Server + IIS 6 + PHP 5.2.9 + mcrypt as well. As soon as I added the mcrypt (or mhash for that matter) extension, fastcgi just timed out. When I removed those extensions from php.ini I see my phpinfo() page as expected. The really weird part was that I could see the module loaded when I run php -m from the command line.
I grabbed all of the dlls from XAMPP (in the php folder) and stuck them all in my PHP installation folder (C:\Program Files\PHP for me). After making the the change to my php.ini
extension=php_mcrypt.dll
I restarted IIS completely rather than recycling the App Pool and my phpinfo page worked as expected. I am not sure why but fastcgi wasn't able to "see" the libraries in the system32 folder, I had to put them in my php root folder.
Good luck.
In my case, my site gave the error "PHP Warning: mcrypt_decrypt()..."
I use IIS6 - Plesk - PHP 2.5
So, I updated PHP version in Plesk CP to 5.3 and then the error disappeared.
Hope this helps somebody.
