How can I install APCu in Windows?
I found this. But I need a solution for Windows.
I use PHP 5.5.6 (I have the XAMPP package).
This short and straight to the point tutorial should help you
Install APCu on Windows
Assumptions
I assume that you know what is APC - Alternative PHP cache
You want to install APCu because APC is not compatible anymore with PHP 5.5.x
You want to install APCu for wamp, xampp. Mostly windows web development platforms for PHP
Instructions
Pre: All directory locations might be different for you depending on your wamp installation folder and your PHP/apache versions.
Go to http://pecl.php.net/package/APCu, there is a table with available releases
Choose whatever release suits you better (latest stable version that supports your php version)
Choose package from DLL list, depending on what Windows you are using:
PHP version (5.5 in your case)
x64 (64 bits) OR x86 (32 bits windows)
Thread Safe (for Apache compatibility)
Unzip the archive, copy php_apcu.dll in C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.5.6\ext.
Go to C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin open php.ini and add the following lines (I just added them at the end of the file):
[apcu]
extension=php_apcu.dll
apc.enabled=1
apc.shm_size=32M
apc.ttl=7200
apc.enable_cli=1
apc.serializer=php
This are recommended configurations located in INSTALL file from the php_apcu archive, excepting the location of the DLL file.
Restart wamp
Go to http://localhost/phpinfo.php and check if apcu configuration table appears and apcu is enabled
If you also want to use apcu for PHP CLI then you only need to add in C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.5.6\bin\php.ini the config lines you added at step 5 in apache's php.ini.
The end!
For those who want APCu with backward APC compatibility (1:1 replacement without changing codebase, for example apc_cache_info > apcu_cache_info)
Download php_apcu.dll from release page (choose proper PHP version, architecture and thread safety mode)
Download php_apcu_bc.dll from PECL
Save both files in ext dir under your PHP installation folder
Load extensions in php.ini:
extension=php_apcu.dll
extension=php_apcu_bc.dll
Configure APCu in php.ini
[APCu]
apc.enabled=1
apc.shm_size=32M
apc.ttl=7200
apc.enable_cli=1
apc.serializer=php
INFO: APC extension with APCu-BC 1.0.3 must be named exactly php_apcu.dll in order to work. When I named it php_apcu_bc-1.0.3-7.1-ts-vc14-x86.dll XAMPP did not start properly (error about missing php_apc.dll)
Additional Note: the downloaded zip file from the source above for vc15 contained a file named php_apc.dll (in file: 'php_apcu_bc-1.0.4-7.2-ts-vc15-x86.zip' date: 13/06/2018) - just renaming it to php_apcu_bc.dll worked.
It matters if you use the thread safe or non thread safe version of the DLL. For me only the NTS worked in Windows 10 x64 and PHP 7.4 using the PHP built in server.
It was confusing because the error msg PHP gave when run php -i was Unable to load dynamic library 'php_apcu.dll' (tried: ext\php_apcu.dll) as if the file was not there.
Please refer to the official documentation:
https://secure.php.net/manual/en/opcache.installation.php
In my case, I'm using PHP 5.6 on XAMPP
and everything I need to do is to update my php.ini file with (recommended settings):
opcache.memory_consumption=128
opcache.interned_strings_buffer=8
opcache.max_accelerated_files=4000
opcache.revalidate_freq=60
opcache.fast_shutdown=1
opcache.enable_cli=1

I've just installed plesk on centos 7, it has multiple php versions installed.
7.1.10 was turned on and was the preferred version to use
However, i've tried to install phplib but it never loads on 7.1.10.
Have installed phplib perfectly fine, yet when you place pdf.so on the php.ini file it never load the extension.
I then noticed that pecl was installing the files in /usr/lib64/php/modules when php claimed they were in /opt/plesk/php/7.1/lib64/php/modules
That got me thinking that it must be installing it on a different php version, so I turned on the default php version of 5.4.16 and what do we have? pdf.so now loads and displays pdflib in the php config page.
Any ideas how to get it working on php 7 under plesk?
I would recommend to do the typical installations steps.
download the current PDFlib package for your Linux (64-bit) PHP and unpack the archive on your server
pick the correct PDFlib PHP DSO for your used PHP version (see bind/php/php-*)
get the correct extension_dir path from your phpinfo() output.
copy the PDFlib PHP DSO to the extension_dir
determine the correct php.ini from the phpinfo() output
add extension=php_pdflib.so to the php.ini
after a restart of your webserver, you should see a "PDFlib" section in the phpinfo() output.
Please see also the PDFlib in PHP Howto or PDFlib 9.1 Tutorial, chapter 2.9 "PHP Binding" for more detailed introduction how to install PDFlib.
I am using magic library to change the resolution of the images. But I am getting following error when I am running the Wamp.
I am also sharing links of the website I have followed.
Link
http://www.zoharbabin.com/5-steps-to-get-imagemagick-on-xampp-1-7-3/
These are step by step instructions on how to get ImageMagick running under PHP in a Windows environment. Apache does not provide binaries for Windows and relies upon several sources to do so:
XAMPP
WampServer
Apache Lounge
Bitnami
Apache Haus
It is recommended to download either the XAMPP or WampServer distributions as they are complete packages that contain Apache HTTP server, PHP and MySql known and tested to work together.
Making ImageMagick work was not easy for me. It took two days of trial and error to get this to work. Hopefully this will help you get up and running faster. I have this running on the following:
Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit
XAMPP 5.6.3
Apache HTTP 2.4.10 (Win32), VC 11
PHP 5.6.3 x86 VC 11, Thread safe
Thus, a 32-bit web framework compiled with VC 11 and thread safety enabled all running on 64-bit Windows 7. You must choose a 32-bit ImageMagick DLL distribution along with a 32-bit VC11 thread safe DLL wrapper to match.
The instructions below should work equally well with WampServer as there is no dependency on the Windows web framework.
The important thing to understand here is that you must know your web server environment and what components are installed and built with. you must match bitness, Visual C runtime, and thread safety configurations together.
Step #1: Install imageMagick to C:\ImageMagick
Go to Link and download the latest release. Use the 32 bit DLL version (ImageMagick-6.9.0.0-Q16-x86-dll.exe)
Install it into C:\ImageMagick directory
Step #2: Get the PHP wrapper from the Windows PECL repository
Go to http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick
Get the latest stable version, 3.1.2. You want the 32-bit, VC 11, thread safe version
php_imagick-3.1.2-5.6-ts-vc11-x86.zip
Step #3: Create distribution directory
Create a /php/ext/imagemagick directory
Copy the ZIP into it and unzip it
Step #4: Make backup copy of DLLs
Make a C:\ImageMagick\Backup directory
Copy DLLs in the C:\ImageMagick directory to the C:\ImageMagick\Backup directory
Step #5: Overwrite DLLs
This is the most important step that if you don't do, will result in the PHP wrapper not loading correctly:
Take all the DLL files in \php\ext\ImageMagick and overwrite those in C:\ImageMagick
If you do a SET on the DOS command line you will see that the ImageMagick installer had created a entry into the system variable environment path (i.e. to C:\ImageMagick). Supporting DLLs will be picked up from there and they will be the Pecl Windows repository DLLs, not the distribution.
Step #6: Set module extension in PHP.INI
First, copy the php extension wrapper php_imagick.dll into the /php/ext directory. Then modify the PHP.INI to do this:
extension=php_imagick.dll
Step #7: Reboot Apache
Reboot Apache
Go to phpinfo and see that imagick is installed as a module.
Here's where you can learn more about your environment.
Pay attention to stuff in phpinfo like:
Compiler: MSVC11 (Visual C++ 2012)
Architecture: x86 (32 bit; as opposed to x64 which is 64 bit)
Thread safety: enabled (TS)
Apache Environment Configuration (PATH should have C:\ImageMagick included)
More gory details: Installing ImageMagick with PHP and Windows
I have been using a software which files are encoded by Zend Guard. Since PHP 5.3 + versions don't support Zend Optimizer hence I have to install Zend Guard Loader to run that application on my windows xampp installation.
I downloaded Zend guard loader and copied to xampp folder.Then I edited the following lines to php.ini file.
zend_extension ="E:\xampp\ZendGuardLoader\php-5.4.x\ZendLoader.dll"
zend_loader.enable=1
Then restarted the xampp but it was giving php5.dll missing error then I downloaded php5.dll file from internet and uploaded to xampp/php folder and edited following file
xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf here I edited this line
LoadFile "/xampp/php/php5ts.dll"
to
LoadFile "/xampp/php/php5.dll"
then the php5.dll error gone and the following error occurred:
"the procedure entry point zend_new_interned_string could not be located in the dynamic link library E:\xampp\ZendGuardLoader\php-5.4.x\ZendLoader.dll"
When I tried to search on internet then found that this is the issue with 'Thread Safety' is enabled in xampp php. I don't know how to disable 'Thread Safety' or how to use 'Non Thread Safety' php version with xampp.
Please help me to install Zend Guard Loader on Windows 8 os Xampp 1.8.1 with php 5.4.x
Before you waste any more time checking, see if phpinfo() output shows that Thread Safety is enabled or not.
Zend Extensions are NTS (non thread safe) so if it is enabled, it cannot load and you need NTS PHP to load Guard Loader extension.
And
Thread Safety cannot be disabled, it is a compilation flag and how the compiled binary works.
You need to load a different Apache PHP Module which is non-thread-safe (php.net releases both TS and NTS builds).
Take a look to
http://forums.zend.com/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=43013
So, I had this same issue.
XAMPP (as far as version 3.2.1) comes bundled with Thread Safe PHP compilation. This is php binaries are compiled using a flag to force "Tread Safe", so, it can't be switched back on the same binaries.
You need to change the binaries of XAMP for those Non Tread Safe (NTS) compiled.
I followed this guide for replacing PHP in XAMP to use NTS. The guide explains how to enable FastCGI and Zend OPcache, so if you copy paste the steps, you should have XAMP run PHP on FastCGI mode. The relevant steps are:
Identify the version of Apache server that is running. [..]
Download the latest PHP binaries for windows. Choose the non-thread-safe (you might choose a newer version of php) [...] Create a new folder for the new version of PHP (ex. c:\xampp\php56-nts ).
Edit the Apache configuration file (ex: c:\xampp\apache\apache\conf\extra\ httpd-xampp.conf ) and replace the paths in the php5 module configuration you may need to change the name of the .dll
As php binaries downloaded from php.net can be used for developpment or for production, you need to create a php.ini according to your needs (there are 2 templates in the folder you can use to begin with: php.ini-development and php.ini-production )
With this, basically you have XAMPP to run PHP's NTS version. Afther that, you can install Zend Guard Loader as the guide says. Basically:
Download the Zend Guard Loader binary
Locate the ZendLoader.dll file and paste it inside the library path of php for xampp. Get the path.
Configure php.ini to use ZendLoader; Add
zend_extension=< full_path_to_ZendLoader.dll>
zend_extension=< full_path_to_opcache.dll>
Add any other optional configuration. Restart Apache and it should restart with the NTS version of PHP. You can test this with localhost/xampp/phpinfo.php
There don't seem to be any concise tutorials/walk throughs for installing ImageMagick on WAMP for use with PHP.
I've tried dozens of combinations of their binary releases with different php extension dll files. I can get imagemagick working fine from the command line, and I can get it to show as ticked in the WAMP extensions, but can't actually use it.
Has anyone come across a good guide for installing this ball ache piece of software?
I've followed http://www.knowledge-transfers.com/it/installing-imagemagick-on-windows-setup-imagick-on-php with no luck...
Update: this is what happens when I follow the steps in PHP farmer's answer on windows7. My php.ini is setup as follows:
extension_dir = "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.0/ext/"
extension=php_imagick.dll
I reboot and get these two errors in this order
and here is the dll file where it should be:
I know this is old post but I spend my all day to make it work, so here are the steps that helped me:
Download ImageMagick Binary Release - http://www.imagemagick.org/script/download.php
Install in C:\imagemagick, on last step check "Add application directory to your system path"
Download Imagick DLL: PHP5.6.x version from http://www.peewit.fr/imagick/ (I have 5.6+ version installed on my localhost
Copy php_imagick.dll to C:\wamp\bin\php\ext
Download PHP 5.6 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

Install Imagick in WAMP
Open your phpinfo() page
Check the below
PHP version (mine : 5.5.12)
Compiler (mine : MSVC11 (Visual C++ 2012) )
Architecture : (mine : x64)
Thread Safety : enabled
Loaded Configuration File (mine : C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin\php.ini)
extension_dir : (mine : c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/ext/)
Apache Bin (Not in phpinfo() page) : C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin\
Get the latest release match to your architecture from here (for me it was ImageMagick-x86_64-pc-windows.exe).
Copy all files from C:\imagemagick\modules\coders and C:\imagemagick\modules\filters to C:\imagemagick to load ImageMagick supported formats
Install in C:\imagemagick, on last step check "Add application directory to your system path"
Download the PECL matching to your architecture
http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick/3.1.2/windows
(for me : 5.5 Thread Safe (TS) x64)
Extract it and copy all the CORE_RL_* files to apache bin folder (mine : C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin)
Copy php_imagick.* files to extension dir (mine : c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/ext/)
Edit php.ini file (mine : C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin\php.ini)
add extension=php_imagick.dll line in extensions section
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 (Specially if you have previously installed imagemagick in different folder/version)
For WAMPSERVER 3.1.9 64bit, PHP Version: 7.3.5
I had a lot of trouble with this as well and some things I did wrong was that I doubted ImageMagick would load on my new php version. But you have to believe it will work and don't try with older php versions :)
So this was my approach, remember to follow it with your own settings and versions/folders.
Before you start, make sure you running the php version you want to run. If you installed Wampserver 3, you may click the wamp icon and go to php version and activate the one you want to run.
1
Get latest ImageMagick version for your system here: http://ftp.icm.edu.pl/packages/ImageMagick/binaries/
(I got the ImageMagick-x86_64-pc-windows.exe in the bottom)
2
Install ImageMagick in C:/imagemagick (I put it in lower cases),
You will be asked for some stuff during install, just make sure the path thingy is ticked.
You should also tick the convert thingy if it allows you.
Then after install you can run CMD and type convert -version to see if imagick is installed.
3
Run <?php phpinfo(); ?> And find out these settings:
PHP Version: 7.3.5
System: Windows
Compiler: MSVC15 (Visual C++ 2017) ([VC15])
Architecture: x64 (or maybe you have x86)
Thread Safety: enabled ([TS] else [NTS])
You probably have other settings, but you need to remember yours to download the proper php_imagick.dll
4
Get the php_imagick.dll you want for your php version from here: http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick
I got mine from here: http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick/3.4.4/windows for php 7.3
Remember your info from the phpinfo(), it has to match, else it won't work.
5
After you unzip it, copy the php_imagick.dll and paste it in C:/wamp64/bin/php/php7.3.5/ext/
Then copy all the other .dll files from that folder into C:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.39/bin/
Yes it's dirty but you will get it working like this.
6
Add extension=php_imagick.dll in C:/wamp64/bin/php/php7.3.5/phpForApache.ini
I added it after the other extensions in the file.
7
Restart all Wamp services.
If you been messing around earlier with installs, you might have to restart the computer due to some weird cache stuff.
8
Check phpinfo() again if imagick shows up and try something like $im = new Imagick();
9
Click the Wamp icon -> php -> extensions, php_imagick should be listed.
Good luck! :)
PHP 5.4 php_imagick.dll is here: http://www.peewit.fr/imagick/ .
I read somewhere that 64bit php doesnt work with php_imagick. That might be the case when you get this error in apache_error.log
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.3/ext/php_imagick.dll' -
%1 is not a valid Win32 application.\r\n in Unknown on line 0
As mentioned above, it was also necessary to add this into httpd.conf (also, i read you cant have spaces/dashes/dots):
SetEnv MAGICK_HOME C:/imagemagick"
If you dont, you might get this error:
"PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.3/ext/php_imagick.dll' -
The specified procedure could not be found. in Unknown on line 0"
In the end, this article might partially help: http://www.elxsy.com/2009/07/installing-imagemagick-on-windows-and-using-with-php-imagick/
This was a headache for me as well, but unfortunately I installed this quite awhile ago. The instructions from that link you posted seem accurate. Have you ran phpinfo(); to see if it is installed in the Apache Environment? It should be listed as MAGICK_HOME.
Make sure "SetEnv MAGICK_HOME C:/imagemagick" is set at the end of your httpd.conf file. Assuming imagemagick is installed in that directory.
Be sure that you have the extension "php_imagick.dll" in your php.ini file as well.
It should work just fine if you have all those set.
On another note, here is a nice little library someone built to make imagick easier to use. https://github.com/francodacosta/phmagick
I hope that helps! Good luck!
I've never used WAMP but I have found that sometimes installing PHP extensions on Windows I need to ensure that any dll's that the extension relies on is in the Windows system PATH. If there is more than the one dll packaged with the imagemagick extension, try adding the directory that the dll's reside in to the Windows system PATH then REBOOT (to ensure that the web server gets a copy of the NEW environment).
I know this is an old question but i guess this will help someone someday out there....
If you are on WAMPP and have PHP 5.4.x installed , go here http://www.peewit.fr/imagick/
and download appropriate files as instructed. It will work.
Please see this answer already on StackOverflow:
Installing ImageMagick extension with php/windows
I answered this question some time ago. This solves the DLL mismatch error.
How can I install APC on Windows? I am using PHP 5.3, Windows 7 x64.
I used
pecl install apc
I got
C:\PHP>pecl install apc
downloading APC-3.0.19.tgz ...
Starting to download APC-3.0.19.tgz (115,735 bytes) ............
done: 115,735 bytes 47 source files, building
WARNING: php_bin c:\php\php.exe appears to have a suffix \php.exe, but config
variable php_suffix does not match running: msdev APC.dsp /MAKE "APC - Release"
ERROR: Did not understand the completion status returned from msdev.exe.
Installing an extension with the pecl command means :
downloading the sources
compiling them
And, generally speaking, a windows machine doesn't have what's required to compile software like PHP and/or PHP extensions.
A better / easier solution, in your case, would probably be to find a pre-compiled .dll of the extension, that matches your system and your version of PHP.
With a bit of luck, maybe one of the versions provided on http://downloads.php.net/pierre/ could be OK ?
(It's what kind of acts as replacement of the old pecl4win, until the extensions for windows are available on windows.php.net)
For more informations about which version you should use, take a look at the Which version do I choose? section, in the left side-bar of http://windows.php.net/
It is not really important, whether you are running Windows 32-bit or 64-bit version. What matters is what Apache (webserver) version you have installed (32/64). Since lots of PHP extensions (like APC) are not available for 64-bit systems, most common setup is as follows:
Operating system 32 or 64-bit (not really important). Apache 32-bit will run easily on Windows 64-bit. The difference is, that for 32-bit apache you MUST install PHP 32-bit. Once you install 64-bit PHP, you may find difficult to install some extensions - there are almost no extensions available for 64-bit PHP platform.
therefore your webserver should be 32-bit if you care about special extensions, like APC, Imagick etc... Also you need to know if your apache is thread safe (TS) or not thread safe (NTS) and whether it has been compiled in Visual Studio 6 (VC6) or newser Visual Studio 2008 (VC9). You will easily find all this info from phpinfo() function.
as for the APC, some nice compilation for Windows are available from http://dev.freshsite.pl/php-accelerators/apc.html.
For php 5.3 you use php.net/pierre/php_apc-3.1.10-5.3-vc9-x86.zip.
Download it and copy php_apc.dll to your php ext directory. (I choose the file under ts I have thread safe php installation. There is also an apc dll file for non thread safe.)
Add extension=php_apc.dll into your php.ini file
Restart your web server
Run phpinfo() to see if it's installed or not.
I am using php 5.4 and I downloaded php.net/pierre/php_apc-3.1.10-5.4-vc9-x86.zip and its working fine.
Hope this will help mate.Good luck.
Also, make sure that the compiled version from here http://downloads.php.net/pierre/
matches your php version, otherwise the extension will not load (php v. 5.2.17 requires php_apc.dll v 5.2.17.17 - which doesn't seem to be available as of this writing - I had to downgrade the php version to play with apc).
Another point, pierre's zip packages, at least the one I downloaded, did not include the management script. you can get it from here: http://pecl.php.net/package/APC - select the version you downloaded, then navigate to Browse Source, then find your version in the 'tags' folder. the apc.php script should be there.
There's no available version for php > 5.4.
I'm using APCu instead. Just download the dll and reference it in php.ini.
This website offers updated dll and installers for Apache, PHP and APC compiled to work on windows 64 bit. I've been using it for a while and it works fine. You could an APC version compatible with PHP 5.3.22 here
