I just started to learn PHP and in order to do that I installed wampserver on my windows 8.1. When I try to launch, it works properly but I have two problems:
1) I have an error in my localhost page:
*** ERROR *** The PHP configuration loaded file is: - should be: C:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.17/bin/php.ini or c:/wamp64/bin/php/php5.6.16/phpforapache.ini
I tried to find the php.ini file but it doesn't exist. In my phpinfo() it is (none) in front of Loaded Configuration file.
2) The other problem is I can't access phpmyadmin and I get this error :
"The mbstring extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration."
Since I'm really new in php, please keep the answers simple! :)
Thanks in advance.
I just solve this problem.
to be sure to start Wampserver "As an administrator," :
right-click the shortcuts, Properties, tab Shortcut:
Select "Run as administrator"
OK
Apply
Leave Wampmanager and ursing win+x+a or others ways to open a cmd administrator command window.( attention:it should run the cmd as an administrator)
In this window, access to your apache installed path
for exemple, my path: D:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin
then type
D:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin> mklink php.ini d:\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.15\phpForApache.ini
and you will see a message likes"php.ini << === >> d:\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.15\phpForApache.ini symlink created"
close the cmd and restart Wampmanager as an administrator
I hope that my solution also works for you.
after installation of php you must rename file php-production.ini to php.ini. Those files in your root php directory installed.
For mbstring you must enable this extension. For that you must uncomment the line in your php.ini file (renamed just before) :
;extension = php_mbstring.dll
Check if you have this line in your php.ini :
[mbstring]
mbstring.language = all
mbstring.internal_encoding = UTF-8
mbstring.http_input = auto
mbstring.http_output = UTF-8
mbstring.encoding_translation = On
mbstring.detect_order = UTF-8
mbstring.substitute_character = none;
mbstring.func_overload = 0
mbstring.strict_encoding = Off
in system tray (bottom right corner of windows) left click wamp icon, php, version, and click on the current version (the one marked with green tick)
This was my issue:
* ERROR * The PHP configuration loaded file is: c:/program files (x86)/php/php.ini - should be: c:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.27/bin/php.ini or c:/wamp64/bin/php/php5.6.31/phpforapache.ini
You must perform: Right-click icon Wampmanager -> Refresh
To resolve this issue, I just went into program files(x86) and added 1 to my PHP folder to make this invisible and retarted all Wampserver services it worked fine. Could have been a conflit with my This old PHP.

I've installed latest XAMPP server with PHP 7 (update: checked also PHP 7.1) (on my Windows 10 system). Wanted to use opcache, so I enabled it in php.ini.
[opcache]
zend_extension=php_opcache.dll
opcache.enable=1
opcache.enable_cli=0
opcache.memory_consumption=128
opcache.interned_strings_buffer=8
opcache.max_accelerated_files=4000
With that change now, and with almost every page refresh, I'm getting this error from Apache:
AH00428: Parent: child process 3748 exited with status 3221226356 -- Restarting.
So, page is loading, and loading... waiting to Apache start again. When I'm turning opcache off (by setting opcache.enable=0), Apache is not restarting and everything works fine (omitting the slower web application topic, of course).
Everything works fine while loading app on XAMPP having PHP 5.6 with enabled opcache.
EDIT (added GIF image):
As you can see, sometimes page refreshes like it should. But sometimes it's refreshing much longer, and Apache is restarting in that moment.
EDIT:
To be honest, I gave up with this application and working with PHP on Windows (was working on it for around 10 years with PHP <= 5.6). It's very hard/impossible (for now) to make PHP 7.x work on that OS (with Opcache). Decided to go with Ubuntu and server created with Docker. Everything is easier to configure (especially with Docker) and works faster. I advise everyone to do the same ;).
Your php_opcache.dll path seems wrong, you need write it like below, it works for me.
[opcache]
zend_extension=C:\xampp\php\ext\php_opcache.dll
opcache.enable=1
opcache.enable_cli=1
opcache.memory_consumption=256
opcache.max_accelerated_files=2000
More details
If your XAMPP comes with PHP 5.5+ by default, opcache already included in the bundle, you will just need to enable it. To enable the extension:
Open php.ini (by default it should be located here: C:\xampp\php\php.ini).
Add this line at the end of the file:
zend_extension=C:\xampp\php\ext\php_opcache.dll
Restart Apache server.
open a php.ini file
Change the ;opcache.enable=1 to opcache.enable=1
Add opcache dll path at the end of the file zend_extension = "C:\xampp\php\ext\php_opcache.dll"
Restart apache
for more reference check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvWrNoRDjUY
In case of Xampp, just put the below lines next to [opcache]
zend_extension="C:\xampp\php\ext\php_opcache.dll"
opcache.enable=1
opcache.enable_cli=1
opcache.memory_consumption=256
opcache.interned_strings_buffer=8
opcache.max_accelerated_files=4000
opcache.revalidate_freq=60
opcache.fast_shutdown=1
To be honest - do not use xammp. Right now we have a bit better tech stack, to run PHP on Linux servers.
Docker
https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/
Vagrant:
https://www.vagrantup.com/
Both of them are based on linux systems, where most of xammp problems will not have place.
First at all:
This is 2022 and I had a similar problem too with PHP-7.2, not on Xamp, but similar server.
How I've got my problem solved?
If you're here because of that, at first try to go with a default "opcache configuration options". And just above opcache.enable=1 put zend_extension=opcache. Your PHP is smart enough to find the extension. And yeah, there's no need to define the full path if you have defined it here extension_dir = [YOUR PATH] (in php.ini). Of course you can use the full path too, if you want too. The path, probably, it's not a problem if your extension is there (in the folder with all PHP extensions). Did you checked, is it there, your extension?
My problem was in this two options:
opcache.memory_consumption
opcache.interned_strings_buffer
I have no idea why, but I guess this two option should have some balance, because both of them is about memory usage.
So, this had my Apache useless, because it didn't wanted to start
opcache.memory_consumption = 64
opcache.interned_strings_buffer = 32 ;this one BAD
next one works fine!
opcache.memory_consumption = 64
opcache.interned_strings_buffer = 16
this one is works fine too!
opcache.memory_consumption = 128
opcache.interned_strings_buffer = 32
So, as I said, at first try to go with a default values of "opcache configuration options", and later do experiments.
How to check everything works on PHP?
var_dump ( zend_version() );
var_dump ( extension_loaded("opcache") ); // bool(false) cuz it's ZEND
var_dump ( extension_loaded("Zend OPcache") ); // bool(true)
// Next one will give you a lot of data about current opcache usage,
// but of course, only if your extension is enabled.
print_r ( opcache_get_status() );
Default OPcache configuration options you can find here:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/opcache.configuration.php
Creeating directory with appropriate permissions and setting it php.ini worked!
opcache.file_cache=d:\xampp\htdocs\opcache
ThreadStackSize 8388608
Helped me in the similar case. This is a httpd option.
on php.ini add more
zend_extension=opcache
remove comment
opcache.enable=1
opcache.enable_cli=0
opcache.memory_consumption=256
opcache.max_accelerated_files=10000
restart apache
On Mac OSX Mavericks using homebrew php55 whenever I run a a php command I get the following error message (everything runs fine it's just annoying)
PHP Warning: Module 'intl' already loaded in Unknown on line 0
I ran

where the contents after the last slash is the extension.
I'm not sure where else to look.
Any help is appreciated
I think you have loaded Xdebug probably twice in php.ini.
check the php.ini, that not have set xdebug.so for the values extension= and zend_extension=.
Check also /etc/php5/apache2 and /etc/php5/cli/. You should not load in each php.ini in these directories the extension xdebug.so. Only one file, php.ini should load it.
Note: Inside the path is the string /etc/php5. The 5 is the version of PHP. So if you use another version, you always get a different path, like php7.
I had the same issue on mac i.e. Warning: Module 'pdo_pgsql' already loaded in Unknown on line 0.
Here's how I solved it.
Locate the folder conf.d, mine was in the directory
/usr/local/etc/php/7.0/conf.d.
In this folder, there's a file called ext-pdo_pgsql.ini.
Type sudo nano ext-pdo_pgsql.ini to edit it.
There should be a line extension="/usr/local/opt/php70-pdo-pgsql/pdo_pgsql.so". Comment it
out by adding semi-colon to the beginning of the line i.e.
;extension="/usr/local/opt/php70-pdo-pgsql/pdo_pgsql.so".
Save the file. (I usually run control + O, control + M).
Exit the file (control + X).
Hope this helps someone.
To fix this problem, you must edit your php.ini (or extensions.ini) file and comment-out the extensions that are already compiled-in. For example, after editing, your ini file may look like the lines below:
;extension=pcre.so
;extension=spl.so
Source: http://www.somacon.com/p520.php
You should have a /etc/php2/conf.d directory (At least on Ubuntu I do) containing a bunch of .ini files which all get loaded when php runs. These files can contain duplicate settings that conflict with settings in php.ini. In my PHP installation I notice a file conf.d/20-intl.ini with an extension=intl.so setting. I bet that's your conflict.
In my case I had uncoment the ;extension=php_curl.so in php.ini, but Ubuntu was already calling this extension somewhere else.
To find this "somewhere else", on php.ini will informe. On my case:
/etc/php/7.1/apache2/conf.d/20-curl.ini was the path.
So now we edit this file (terminal):
sudo nano /etc/php/7.1/apache2/conf.d/20-curl.ini
Comment the ;extension=php_curl.so
Save file and restart apache:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
solved by commenting extension=curl
For issue related to code igniter project upload,
go to the base directory index.php and add this code:
if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'local_server_name') {
define('ENVIRONMENT', 'development');
} else {
define('ENVIRONMENT', 'production');
}
if (defined('ENVIRONMENT')){
switch (ENVIRONMENT){
case 'development':
error_reporting(E_ALL);
break;
case 'testing':
case 'production':
error_reporting(0);
break;
default:
exit('The application environment is not set correctly.');
}
}
define('ENVIRONMENT', isset($_SERVER['CI_ENV']) ? $_SERVER['CI_ENV'] : 'development');
For shared hosting, in cPanel I unchecked the Module in question under "Select PHP Version" > "Extensions" and the error disappeared for PHP 7.4.
I had the same issue after upgrading from Fedora Server 24 (PHP 5) to 25 (PHP 7). After investigation, I found that /etc/php.d/ had two different .ini files loading extension=geoip.so.
Previous version of distros had this file named 50-geoip.ini but the recent was changed to 40-geoip.ini, and I suspect that in the version-upgrade process the old hasn't been removed, while the new one has been created.
That was the actual case of the issue. After removing stray 50-geoip.ini from /etc/php.d/ and restarting httpd it just worked flawlessly.
I deleted the 20-mongo.ini file in /etc/php5/cli/conf.d and this solved the problem.
I figured this out by printing the PHP configuration and searching by xml.ini. Notice in the following output how xml is loaded twice (first as 20-xml.ini and then as xml.ini):
$ php -i | grep xml
/etc/php.d/20-simplexml.ini,
/etc/php.d/20-xml.ini,
/etc/php.d/20-xmlwriter.ini,
/etc/php.d/30-xmlreader.ini,
/etc/php.d/xml.ini

xmlrpc_errors => Off => Off

There are two "php_intl.dll" files inside php.ini file on 872 and 968 number lines. if php warning module 'intl' already loaded in unknown on line 0 this message is focused on your CLI. Then you should have to remove the semiclone prefixes on line 872. I expect this will done.....
Just for the record as it might help others who are on shared hosting (cPanel).
I had error on shared hosting php7.2:
Module 'imagick' already loaded in Unknown on line 0
In the beginning hosting provider said it was my bad configuration (running Yii2.16). But after I showed them, that all Internet related this issue to server configuration -they started to listen to me. After I proved, that there was no error on php7.1 they started to search for the error.
As they told to me - the error was due to configuration in PERL modules or PEAR package, but they did not told me the real issue.
So, if you are on shared hosting - talk to you provider and experiment with PHP versions (if you can change them).
Comment out these two lines in php.ini
;extension=imagick.so
;extension="ixed.5.6.lin"
it should fix the issue.
In Windows 10, I fix this by comment like this
;extension=php_sockets.dll
Run php --ini and notice file path on Loaded Configuration File.
Then run command like cat -n /etc/php/7.2/cli/php.ini | grep intl to find if the extension is commented or not.
Then update loaded configuration file by commenting line by adding ; such as ;extension=intl
This can happen when you install php-intl package and also enable the same extension on php.ini file.
If you are on shared hosting, just apply the default php settings. Cpanel overrides php settings to default.
I am using WAMP in Windows 10 with PHP 7.2.10. I was able to solve it through commenting the line extension=ftp in php.ini inside wamp64\bin\php\php7.2.10 .
I am unsure but my guess why this happens is that my php.ini inside wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.35\bin already loads this module.
Be sure to restart all services of WAMP after doing so.
I had the same issue so I commented the extension=mysqli as I included this to run sql server. Check if you have uncommented this extension=mysqli if so, place ; in php.ini
I resolved this issue by removing php.ini file from extension=grpc commenting like this ;extension=grpc
I had a similar problem, the problem was that the extension intl was duplicated.
You can check in file C:/xampp/php/php.ini and find "intl". In my case extension=intl is already present and I scrolled again and found a second intl "extension=php_intl.dll".
The extension must one to execution can't execution extension intl again. This will show error like this "Module 'intl' already loaded".
I fixed it by commenting out extension=php_intl.dll using ";" like this ;extension=php_intl.dll. and restarted the apache service.
I spent three hours but I did not find anything; I'm unable to connect to a SSL enabled server. I want to list what i did:
First checked my PHP extensions directory was in order; extension wasn't there, php_openssl.dll
Then I opened my php.ini file but I could not see any extension=php_openssl.dll line to uncomment.
Also, I searched on Google and saw people with the same problem.
http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?p=162623
However, I also have
OPENSSL_CONF C:/xampp/apache/bin/openssl.cnf
...
openssl
OpenSSL support enabled
OpenSSL Library Version OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009
OpenSSL Header Version OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009
no lines . What should I do? Please share your suggestions.
Yes, you must open php.ini and remove the semicolon to:
;extension=php_openssl.dll
If you don't have that line, check that you have the file (In my PC is on D:\xampp\php\ext) and add this to php.ini in the "Dynamic Extensions" section:
extension=php_openssl.dll
[PHP_OPENSSL]
extension=php_openssl.dll
This is the answer.
Things have changed for PHP > 7. This is what i had to do for PHP 7.2.
Step: 1: Uncomment extension=openssl
Step: 2: Uncomment extension_dir = "ext"
Step: 3: Restart xampp.
Done.
Explanation: ( From php.ini )
If you wish to have an extension loaded automatically, use the following syntax:
extension=modulename
Note : The syntax used in previous PHP versions (extension=<ext>.so and extension='php_<ext>.dll) is supported for legacy reasons and may be deprecated in a future PHP major version. So, when it is possible, please move to the new (extension=<ext>) syntax.
Special Note: Be sure to appropriately set the extension_dir directive.
So, what did we do to make openssl_pkey_new() and all the other openssl_ functions in PHP work...
Enabled the extension php_openssl.dll in the (right/active) php.ini. Checked.
Checked that there exists a openssl.cnf in xampp\apache\conf\ (and also in two other directories within XAMPP). Checked.
Added the environment variable OPENSSL_CONF in the Windows system settings with the full path to the above openssl.cnf. Checked.
Restarted Apache (and after that did not work restarted the computer several times...). Checked.
Still does not work, and throwing errors such as
error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value
error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory
error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file
Okay, here are another two more things to check.
1. Trouble with the environment
Run phpinfo() from a PHP script, and go to the "Apache Environment" section. Check the value of OPENSSL_CONF.
Surprise. This is not what we have set in the windows system settings.
The solution is simple. Set the environment variable in the PHP script.
putenv('OPENSSL_CONF=C:\xampp\apache\conf\openssl.cnf');
2. Trouble with relative filenames
Now, openssl_pkey_new() will work, but openssl_pkey_export_to_file() does still not work and returns false without any further explanation?
Check the filename that you have specified as output filename. It will not work in Windows as long as you do not specify the full path.
$folder = realpath('../keyring');
$outfile = $folder.'/private.pem';
openssl_pkey_export_to_file($key, $outfile);
I use xampp. Beforehand I tried the example file "test_smtp_gmail_basic.php" in phpMailer (you can download phpMailer here: https://github.com/Synchro/PHPMailer), but I got the following error:
Mailer Error: The following From address failed: xxx#gmail.com
After I commented out ; extension=php_openssl.dll in php.ini, it is working now.
In xampp, if "extension=php_openssl.dll" is not present in your php.ini file then add it in the "Windows Extensions" section of your php.ini file
and restart your apache.
It works for me..
You will need to edit your php.ini. It's 4 easy steps.
Find your php.ini file.
$inipath = php_ini_loaded_file();
Enable openssl in the file:
extension=php_openssl.dll
Turn allow_url_fopen on
allow_url_fopen = On
Restart apache and you are done!
STEP 1: On your php.ini comment out ;extension=php_openssl.dll
STEP 2: Copy libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll from your PHP root folder and paste it your Apache/bin folder
STEP 3: Restart Apache
I am assuming that this question is for those using a windows based system.
After making sure that the extension extension=php_openssl.dll in your php.ini file does not have a semicolon.
Then make sure that you have added C:/xampp/apache/bin into your environment path in order to use openssl without having move the command prompt to that directory C:/xampp/apache/bin
Although not related to this question but as the WP migrate Pro docs link to this question I though I would post an answer here.
If your having problems with DB Migrate Pro activating instead of enabling SSL you can just add a line of code to your wp-config
define( 'WPMDB_LICENCE', 'XXXXXXXXXXx' );
I just installed wamp and the latest version comes with webgrind, but i cannot figure out how it works.It says
Select a cachegrind file above
And thats all.
Webgrind is a parser/viewer for a profiling file format called cachegrind. The PHP extension Xdebug can (among other very useful things) generate these. For webgrind to work, Xdebug needs to be installed and enabled.
Make sure Xdebug is installed and working (see the Xdebug docs for info on how to do that)
Have Xdebug generate a profiling report by requesting a local PHP file
Load webgrind in the browser and select a file in the popup-menu at the top
Press update, and hopefully everything should work
The wiki on Google Code has more on configuring webgrind.
1) Download XDebug from their download page.
2) Put all DLL files in your PHP extension directory: C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.x.x\ext
3) Add the following line in your php.ini file located in C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.x.x:
zend_extension = c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0\ext\php_xdebug-2.1.0-5.3-vc6.dll
4) Add also the following section to your php.ini (search for the [xdebug] section first to make sure it does not exist yet):
[xdebug]
xdebug.profiler_enable = 1
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "c:\wamp\www\webgrind\tmp"
xdebug.profiler_output_name = cachegrind.out.%t.%p
5) Restart Wamp and verify that the extension was loaded. To do so, add a file pi.php in C:\wamp\www\ and put the following code in it:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
6) Check the output by opening your browser at http://localhost/pi.php and search for XDebug.
7) Download Webgrind from their download page and extract in in your www folder.
8) Edit the config.phpfile located in C:\wamp\www\webgrind\ to change the storage directories:
static $storageDir = 'c:\wamp\www\webgrind\tmp';
static $profilerDir = 'c:\wamp\www\webgrind\tmp';
9) In the Webgrind directory where you have extracted the code, add an .htaccess file and put this content in it to avoid webgrind from profiling itself:
php_flag xdebug.profiler_enable 0
10) Rerun the http://localhost/pi.php script to generate some profiling data.
11) Open your browser with http://localhost/webgrind to display the results. Do not forget to click the Update button!
This answer is based on an answer provided by Jacob Moen. You can view the original source here.
It is good to watch if the application becomes SLOW, had problems with
it because of the settings of Cachegrind.
Good luck!
My settings are Wamp 2.4, Apache 2.4, PHP 5.4 and MySQL 5.6
[Portugues pt_BR]
É bom prestar atenção se a aplicação se tornar LENTA, tive problemas com isso por causa das configurações do cachegrind.
Boa sorte!
Minhas configurações são Wamp 2.4, Apache 2.4, PHP 5.4 e MySQL 5.6
Update the PHP.INI with these parameters
xdebug.profiler_enable = 1
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 1
RESTART ALL SERVICES
this should be work.
You don't have to do much....
I just edited the line to be
xdebug.profiler_enable = 1
Thats all buddy. Totally works!
I've updated php.ini and moved php_mysql.dll as explained in steps 6 and 8 here.
I get this error…
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\inetpub...
MySQL doesn't show up in my phpinfo; report.
I've updated the c:\Windows\php.ini file from
; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "./"
to
; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = ".;c:\Windows\System32"
Result: no change.
I changed the php.ini value of extension_dir thusly:
extension_dir = "C:\Windows\System32"
Result: much more in the phpinfo; report, but MySQL still isn't working.
I copied the file libmysql.dll from folder C:\php to folders C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows
Result: no change.
I stopped and restarted IIS.
Result: new, different errors instead!
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for
user '...'#'localhost' (using password: YES) in C:\inetpub\...
error in query.
Fatal error: Call to a member function RecordCount() on a non-object

I found several .php files in the website where I had to set variables:
$db_user
$db_pass
Result: The site works!
As the others say these two values in php.ini are crucial.
I have the following in my php.ini: note the trailing slash - not sure if it is needed - but it does work.
extension_dir = "H:\apps\php\ext\"
extension=php_mysql.dll
Also it is worth ensuring that you only have one copy of php.ini on your machine - I've had problems with this where I've been editting a php.ini file which php isn't using and getting very frustrated until I realised.
Also if php is running as a module within apache you will need to restart the apache server to pickup the changes. Wise to do this in anycase if you're not sure.
a "php -m" from the cmd prompt will show you the modules that are loaded from the ini file.
In the php.ini file, check if the extention path configuration is valid.
You will need to enable the extension=php_mysql.dll option in the php.ini as well. Also, make sure that the file is in the extension_dir you set.
You can read more about it at:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.extensions.php
On a completely different note, might I suggest WampServer? It should get you up and running with a Apache/PHP/MySQL install in no time.
You could even compare the WampServer config files with your own to see where you originally went wrong.
