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

I want to downgrade php version from 7.1.1 to 5.6 in xampp 7.1.1. But I can't find any option.
I think the most safest downgrade path from PHP7 to PHP5 in Xampp is:
Download a self-packaged version of Xampp with PHP5 from here (as of today this is xampp-win32-5.6.37-0-VC11.zip).
Rename the php folder to php7 in Xampp.
Now copy the php folder from xampp-win32-5.6.37-0-VC11.zip into your Xampp install folder.
Make a backup from .\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf file.
Replace this file from xampp-win32-5.6.37-0-VC11.zip as well.
This way the config files (including php.ini) has settings from the Xampp team.
Before any changes, to verify changed Apache configs, you can compare both Xampp release folder at .\xampp\apache\conf with tools like Meld.
I should note that please download PHP 5 and 7 Xampp packages released at the same time.
Notify me if I miss something.
If you want to downgrade php from 7.1.1 to 5.6 in xampp follow the steps(For Windows):-
Go to https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/5.6.36/
Download and extract the file xampp-win32-5.6.36-0-VC11.zip see the image
[image 1][1]
Delete php folder and apache folder present in C:\xampp
Copy php folder and apache folder from extracted file and paste it to C:\xampp
Add " C: " before \xampp\ to php ini file present in php folder.
Start your apache and MySQL and check php version. It will show php 5.6.36
Just delete this xampp, and download 5.6 version.
There is no option to downgrade XAMPP. XAMPP is hardcoded with specific PHP version to make sure all the modules are compatible and working properly. However if your project needs PHP 5.6, you can just install a older version of XAMPP with PHP 5.6 packaged into it.
Source: How to downgrade php from 5.5 to 5.3
Change the .htaccess code to switch to PHP 5.6:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php56 .php
XAMPP is an integrated package and you can not downgrade or change one of its component such as php. (There are some solutions that you can use but there is little chances that everything work fine.)
You can download the package from these links:
https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/
You had better to download the old package form sourceforge.net.
You do not have to install another version of Xampp. I've managed to use PHP 5.6 on my Xampp PHP 7 version. Here is what you need to do to make it works:
Raname (backup) <XAMPP_DIR>\php to <XAMPP_DIR>\php~7
Copy (backup) <XAMPP_DIR>\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf to <XAMPP_DIR>\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp~7.conf
Download PHP5 and unpack it to <XAMPP_DIR>\php
Edit <XAMPP_DIR>\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf and change all php5 occurrences to php7. You need to change php7apache2_4.dll to php5apache2_4.dll, php7ts.dll to php5ts.dll and php7_module to php5_module
Ensure all your paths are correct like extension_dir in php.ini.
Restart Apache and voila.
If you want to downgrade php version, just simply edit yout .htaccess file.
Like you want to downgrade any php version to 5.6, just add this into .htaccess file
<FilesMatch "\.(php4|php5|php7|php3|php2|php|phtml)$">
etHandler application/x-lsphp56
</FilesMatch>
I know it might be late but I'm just adding to Lanti's answer since it's the most popular, I had the same problem as Wouter Vanherck in the comments and I can't comment yet.
What helped for me was instead of just replacing \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf I replaced the whole apache folder. I basically did the same thing with it as with the php folder (steps 2 and 3).
Now the error is fixed and Apache starts just fine.
Using WAMP is perforce option if we want to use more then one version of php.
It is very easy to do, all you need to do is
1) download 5.6 from [1]: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/5.6.36/, the run the setup and install in folder "xampp"
2) download 7.6 from [https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/7.4.2/xampp-portable-windows-x64-7.4.2-0-VC15-installer.exe/download][1] and run the setup in "xampp2"
NOte: after that you now have separate xampp installed in your system. all you do now is to run each xampp as a separate entity. Alway quite the 5.6 if you want to run 7.6
This solution is Only for local system / localhost on windows:
The simplest way to install xampp 5.6.X version as per your requirement in other windows drive then run xampp 5.6.X services from it's control panel for php 5.6 version.
NOTE: If you already have xampp (any other version) on your system then please close that xampp's services then start xampp 5.6.x services otherwise this solution will not work.
You can download your required (xampp 5.6 as per question) xampp version from below link:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/
I have used this solution many times, it worked like charm. I hope this will also help you. Thank you to ask this question.
i was trying the same, so i downloaded the .7zip version of XAMPP with php 5.6.33 from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/5.6.33/
then followed the steps below:
1. rename c:\xampp\php to c:\xampp\php7
2. raname C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf to httpd-xampp7.OLD
3. copy php folder from XAMPP_5.6 7zip archive to c:\xampp\
4. copy file httpd-xampp.conf from XAMPP_5.6 7zip archive to C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\
open xampp control panel and start Apache and then visit ( i am using port 82 instead of default 80)
http://localhost
and then click PHPInfo to see if it is working as expected.
Opening localhost shows dashboard
Opening phpinfo shows version 5.6
Environment in local system
MAMP 3.2.2
PHP 5.6.24
Webserver Apache
Mongodb for caching is installed successfully and found running in MongoDBservice.
I Downloaded Mongodb drivers from https://pecl.php.net/package/mongodb (used thread safe versions PHP5.6 "php_mongodb.dll") selected php_mongo-1.1.8-5.6-ts-vc11-x64.zip, Made changes to php.ini as extension=php_mongo.dll
I just copied and pasted .dll file in my C:\MAMP\bin\php\php5.6.24\ext
So far good... After restarting my MAMP I cannot see mongo in phpinfo ---->This is my issue
Any idea about this?
Thank you
Just copying the DLL file to the correct directory is not enough. You also need to add the following line to your php.ini file before the MongoDB extension is available:
extension=php_mongo.dll
After that restart Apache and MongoDB should show up as an available extension in phpinfo().
By the way, that is also mentioned on the official PHP website for installing the MongoDB driver: http://www.php.net/manual/en/mongodb.installation.windows.php
Should be extension="php_mongodb.dll instead of extension="php_mongo.dll as it is the name of the file you copied.
In my case, I first downloaded a x64 version of php_mongo.dll, which did not show in phpinfo page. Then i downloaded a x86 version and everything works fine. Hope this helps.
PS. Make sure you pick the right php version.
I tried various tutorials online as well steps given on SO answers but nothing worked.
I am using windows 64 bit and m using wamp 2.4 ver and php 5.4.12
I have tried various combinations of Imagemagik and php_imagick.dll but nothing worked
Please help, its very important for to run it
I am getting the following error
I know we can open php.ini directly from wamp icon shown in tray but in my case it was not opening. So i was manually opening it from C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12
But then i realized that we have to make changes in three files to make it work.
That are:
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12\php.ini
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12\phpForApache.ini
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin\php.ini
Then I followed the steps given by fsasvari in following link
Download ImageMagick: ImageMagick-6.7.7-5-Q16-windows-dll from here (other versions did not work for me)
Install in C:\imagemagick, on last step check "Add application directory to your system path"
Download Imagick DLL: PHP5.5.x version from http://www.peewit.fr/imagick/ (I have 5.5+ version installed on my localhost
Copy php_imagick.dll to C:\wamp\bin\php\ext
Download PHP 5.5 Thread Safe (TS) x86 version from http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick/3.1.2/windows
Copy CORE_RL_* files to C:\wamp\bin\apache\bin\
Edit php.ini file in C:\wamp\bin\apache\bin\php.ini, add extension=php_imagick.dll line in extensions section
Copy all files from C:\imagemagick\modules\coders and C:\imagemagick\modules\filters to C:\imagemagick to load ImageMagick supported formats
Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced Settings -> Environment Variables -> New System Variable -> MAGICK_HOME = C:\imagemagick
Restart Wamp server and check phpinfo() for imagick plugin
If last step does not work, restart Windows

I see everywhere for downgrade php on wampserver I just have to do left click wamp> php>version> get more>
And dowload the version I want.
But when I do it I arrive on this page and I don't see any link for download an other php version. I only can download a file php5.2.4.isson this page
So fine I dowload it on php.net and I unzip the archive in my folder "C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.4"
Next I copy the files wampserver.conf, php.ini and phpForApache.ini from my folder "C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12" to the folder "C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.4"
And to finish I change in the file php.ini and phpForApache.ini the path :
extension_dir = "C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.4"
When I restart wamp I have the 2 versions of php the one I use actualy (5.5.12) and the one I want to instal (5.2.4) but when I choose the 5.2.4 my wamp icon became orange and stay like this I don't understand why.
To manually install any version of PHP into WAMP you can follow the following steps...
Download the binaries from php.net
Extract all files into a new folder: C:/wamp/php/php5.4.13 (or whatever the version number is)
Copy the wampserver.conf file from another PHP folder in wamp to the new folder.
Rename php.ini-development file to phpForApache.ini
Restart WampServer by exiting out of Wamp and restarting it)
Note: If you are adding php version 5.6, you need to copy php5apache2_4.dll from another php folder in wamp as well otherwise the wamp server wont start.
Visit Wampserver Activities and download the desired PHP version then run the package to install.
Start the wamp server and try again to left-click wamp> PHP> version > select version
I think best and easiest solution is download older version WAMP ,when installing WAMP you can choose what version of php(default they choose latest version, so attention for that,) do you need, that is work for me. for me need to install to php 7.00 so i tried this wamp 3.2 link here
these are the php versions
I am trying to install this on a Windows+Apache machine.
Documentation says that SSH2 requires the OpenSSL and libssh2 libraries.
I have added this lines in my php.ini file:
extension=php_openssl.dll
extension=php_ssh2.dll
and restarted Apache but it still not working (Fatal error: Call to undefined function ssh2_connect()).
Can anyone explain me how to install this service?
Here's how I did it:
Downloaded Win32 SSH2 PECL extension from this location
(choose the appropriate version);
Extracted the archive's content and:
placed php_ssh2.dll and php_ssh2.pdb files in the ext folder (e.g. C:\php\ext);
copied libssh2.dll file to C:\Windows\system32 and (if you got Win64) C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder(s);
Run the following command to register the DLL:
C:\> regsvr32 libssh2.dll
Restarted Apache.
Final note
If you got PHP x64, you have to lookup for the x64 version of the SSH2 library / DLLs.
This site offers some Win64 compiled libraries for PHP, try here first.
Hope this helps.
If anyone is having trouble installing SSH2, here's how I did it:
1) Download SSH2 PECL library from PHP.net [choose the appropriate version].
2) Copy libssh2.dll to System32 [x86] or SysWOW64 [x64] folder.
3) Copy php_ssh2.dll and php_ssh2.pdb to php/ext folder.
4) Remove ';' from the ;extension=php_ssh2.dll line in php.ini. If this line is not on your php.ini, add it.
5) Restart Apache.
Place php_ssh2.dll in ext folder
Place libssh2.dll in php folder
Restart IIS
that work for me
PHP 5.4.25 NTS + Windows Server 2012
If you are running xamp 3.2.1 and PHP 5.6.8, this could be helpful for you.
Do what alex b said, and download the package that corresponds dependindg your php version (and bits) from this page (link)
I've downloaded and replaced in C:\xampp\php\ext and it worked!
Hope this helps, regards.
libssh2 (deps): http://windows.php.net/downloads/php-sdk/deps/
php_ssh2 (ext): http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/ssh2/0.12/
Versions prior to 5.5 has already the libssh2.dll (from the second link)
I have wamp with PHP 5.6.25/7.0.10 – MySQL 5.7.14 installed and I cm currently working on PHP 7.0. I had the same error. I checked using phpinfo() if both librarires OpenSSL and libssh2 was working(you can google how to check it). After I could see they was working, I have downloaded php_ssh2.dll at http://pecl.php.net/package/ssh2/1.0/windows (can also be found http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/ssh2/ ) for the 7.0 version, put it to php\ext folder. Than I included it in php.ini file using extension=php_ssh2.dll.
Then it appeared at phpinfo(). And it worked. Hope it helps.
Fix that worked for me. Am running xampp v. 3.2.1 apache 2.2 facing the same issue tried placing the dll files at different c: location but failed finally this helped.
1.) Download the version specific dll files from http://pecl.php.net/package/ssh2/0.12/windows and extract the files
Note that even though you are in 64 bit version of windows download the 32 version of THREAD SAFE ssh i.e. Thread Safe (TS) x86 as per your version of php
2.) Add/replace the libssh2.dll at C:\xampp\php (standard installation)
3.) Add/replace the php_ssh2.dll & php_ssh2.pdb within the C:\xampp\php\ext (standard installation)
4.) restart the apache server
Worked Like a charm
CHEERS
First of all, your question reveals two misconceptions:
The Requirements section actually says this:
The » OpenSSL and » libssh2 libraries are required. Ensure that the
development libraries are installed, where a typical package name
might be openssl-dev.
It isn't talking about PHP extensions, it's talking about third-party libraries that have nothing to do with PHP.
extension=php_ssh2.dll requires that you actually have a file called php_ssh2.dll in your PHP's ext directory and you probably don't have it, mainly because it isn't bundled with PHP.
If we check the Installation chapter we can read that SSH2 is a PECL extension. There're a few links with instructions but I can make a summary of the important info:
You need a php_ssh2.dll file that matches your PHP installation.
Neither the PHP team nor the PECL team distribute such file.
Installing PECL extensions on Windows is hard. You need to download the C source code, grab a C compiler and make the file yourself, or find someone who already did it for you.
Said that, unless you Google for php_ssh2.dll and find something relevant, you're probably out of luck.
