APC FOR PHP 5.3.8 - php

I've been trying to install apc . I've added the .dll file to the extenstions directory ( so far i'm running the application on xamppm, apache) . I've also updated the php.ini as well.
The problem comes up when I restart the apache and then the next warning appears :
php startup : unable to load dynamic library c:/xampp/php/ext/php_apc.dll
I think the problem might be the fact that the php version I employ is 5.3.8 .
I've been looking for apc download for php 5.3.8 and I hadn't found any,
What am I able to do in order to solve this problem ?
Any suggestion will be helpful , thanks in advance

I had the same problem and it was because i was using x64 version of WAMP server so i downloaded the x64 version of php_apc.dll file and it worked.
Here is a link

In the following site you'll be able to find the extension compiled for Windows in a variety of "flavours" ready to download:
http://dev.freshsite.pl/php-accelerators/apc.html
Hint: you mention you use XAMPP, which as far as I can tell bundles PHP compiled with VC9 and thread safe, so you are probably looking for this one if you use Windows 7 or this one for other windows versions.
Side note: As somebody who has been using Apache and PHP under win heavily, I can only recommend to switch to Linux as soon as you can: PHP extensions (among many other things) are way much less of a headache there.

PHP script locks up when changed and re-ran (Caused by APC)

Basic Info - Running WAMP 2.2 with PHP 5.4.3 and Apache 2.2.22 on Windows XP Pro 32 bit
My problem is that when I run a php script it will run just fine. Now if I change that script and re-run it, the page will never load and the script will become locked due to being used by another program. I have found that it is being used by the process httpd.exe, which if I use End Process (Which actually restarts it rather than stopping it) the original page will suddenly load and the new script will be ran. If I change it again it will do this same thing.
If I disable the PHP APC extension this problem doesn't happen, so it is caused by APC
I have tried using php_apc_3114_beta_php54.dll (renamed it to php_apc.dll) downloaded from http://dev.freshsite.pl/php-accelerators/apc.html "APC 3.1.14 beta for PHP 5.4" and apc_3113_beta_php54_vc9.dll (renamed it to php_apc.dll) the same place "APC 3.1.13 beta for PHP 5.4 vc9"
I would suggest to download PHP extensions from specific sites only. The extensions should be compiled for your specific PHP version and system (check for x86/x64 and thread-safe vs non-thread-safe). The best places to download correctly compiled extensions for windows are:
PHP for Windows:
http://windows.php.net/
http://downloads.php.net/pierre/
and Anindya's Blog:
http://www.anindya.com/tag/php/
http://www.mediafire.com/php-win64-extensions
EDIT: As mentioned below in my comment, have you tried using BOTH versions of APC (thread safe AND non-thread-safe) from the original site you linked to?
This does sound like some sort of threading issue...
I did myself a favor and did it all on Linux. Setting up my whole server and installing APC on Ubuntu was faster and smoother than just trying to insert APC in WAMP. After a few commands and a clean install it's working beautifully, I can't believe I didn't migrate to Linux sooner!

php_memcache.dll for 64 bit wampserver with either php 5.3.13 or 5.4.3

Okay, so far ive been googeling and trying to find a solution for over 6 hours. normally i dont post questions because i feel the answer should be findable, but here goes nothing.
I need to work with PHP code that has implemented the memcache class. I use wampserver 2.2 as 64 bit install, with apache 2.2.2, php 5.4.3 (installed 5.3.13 too, to see if i could fix it in that version) and mysql 5.5.24
i have run the memcache service with both the memcached-win64-1.4.4-14.zip link and the memcached-1.2.6-win32-bin.zip link
I am now at a point where the feedback from wampserver i get is the following when (re)starting the apache module -> mem_cache_module, using the answers from a similar thread on stackoverflow.com/questions/3894065/php-memcache-dll-vc6-x64), in combination with php 5.3.13 64 bit:
PHP Startup: memcache: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20090626
PHP compiled with module API=20100525
These options need to match
This is a lot further than i got with the other options, most (or all) results i can come up with seem to redirect to either a 32 bit dll (which i cant use since my wampserver is 64 bit) or with the wrong php version or api version (compilation date?) .. i do not think i am able to compile my own library to solve this.
I have added *extension=php_memcache.dll* to both php.ini files for both php versions and the dll files have been placed into the correct php/php5.x.x/ext/ folders of the wamp server
my assumption so far is that i need the php_memcache.dll compilated for 64 bit (x64) for php 5.3.13 on the 25th of may, 2010. That or i need to install a php version matching the binairy compiled on the 26th of june, 2009.
Do any of you have a soltion to my specific dillemma? Any help will be greatly appriciated.
I tried all dlls and none worked but suddenly the one given in comment by falcontoast http://www.mediafire.com/?8d3vd26z3fg6bf1 did work.
Will be glad if it works for someone :).
One must check architecture of the phpversion from phpinfo() and must use corresponding dll file. Also the version for memcached service should be of same type.
Try following steps that might work for you. Yes it did work for me when I almost gave up.
1 - Close all memcached services if any already running.
2 - get this service memcached-win64-1.4.4-14(find it) and install it and then start.(the ways to install are already given out there).
3 - get the dll file in comment by falcontoast and put that in extension(ext) folder.
4 - do the changes in php.ini file.
5 - restart the wamp server(probably exit it and then again start it).
If everything is done properly, then the program given here https://commaster.net/content/installing-memcached-windows should work fine.
Basically you need Memcache OR Memcached Library that match your PHP Executable. When I say match I'm not speaking of date but of code. The old PHP won't support new Memcache and vice-versa.
You can try to compile a special one just for your version of PHP (I tried once with other libraries it's not fun). Or you can find a version of PHP that would work with a version of Memcache but this new PHP will also need to work with your version of Apache...
After years of playing with that I just gave up and just used a unix system.
PS: Now that I think about it PHP already come with a correct version of Memcache... So your error may be just that you're using "new Memcached();" instead of "new Memcache();"
Thank you zzarbi!! Freaking finally, I have tried all possible dll's out there and the one you provided finally worked, all others gave Invalid Win32 application.
My setup is Wamp 64 bit with Apache : 2.4.4 MySQL : 5.6.12 PHP : 5.4.12 on Windows 8 64bit

Cannot find php_sqlsrv extension - 5.3, threadsafe

I've followed the answer to this question to the letter:
Connection between MSSQL and PHP 5.3.5 on IIS is not working
I'm using XAMPP with threadsafe 5.3. I've copied the files to the extension directory (while leaving them in the /php folder) and I've added the extension lines:
extension=php_sqlsrv_53_ts.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_53_ts.dll
When I do this, Apache fails to start, giving me errors in eventvwr like:
Application popup: Warning : PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'C:\xampp\php\ext\php_sqlsrv_53_ts.dll'
- The specified module could not be found.
Except, obviously, that that file DOES exist in that spot, and php.ini is pointed at that extension directory.
What's the problem?
Windows reports this when a shared lib dependency of what you're loading is missing. Use depends.exe to view the dependencies of php_sqlsrv_53_ts.dll and make sure it's either previously loaded or in the shared library search path.

php_sqlsrv.dll: gives error when checking PHP version but extension works
Read it:-
Since PHP 5.3, Microsoft has a new driver for windows :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/ff657782.aspx
Maybe you can try this version, which seems quite recent (06/2011)
Hope that helps !
Sadly, none of the answers addressed the issue or were avenues I had already explored.
I have decided to use the ODBC drivers with a SQL Server connection string, which seems to work fine, minus the fact I can't use MSSQL and SQLSRV native functions.
I have written a page that might help when installing the SQLSRV driver:
http://robsphp.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/how-to-install-microsofts-sql-server.html
Unfortunately the instructions got complicated when MSFT removed the download for the old XP/2003 driver (version 2.0), so read the whole page before starting.
Wrong technology, but I was having problems getting WAMP to connect to MSSQL, with the same types of errors.
I fixed the problem by installing the 32-bit version of WAMP (instead of 64, even though we were on a 64-bit system).
Even if that's not applicable to the OP, I hope someone finds this helpful!
I was getting the same error messages when I started the Drupal 7 stack after installation. I am using VM Ware with Win 7 x64 and acquia-drupal-win-7.31.36-6159.54300.
I went to the PHP site http://php.net/manual/en/sqlsrv.requirements.php and installed the x64 Package.
steps
1) Stop Drupal Stack
2) run the file: sqlncli.msi
3) restart Drupal, and no error messages.

Version problem in php

I upgraded my system from Windows xp to windows 7. When i was in win xp i used the wamp server with php version 5.0 now i installed the wamp server with the version 5.3. But now it's making problem. The old projects are not running. Even-though they are created in php version 5. How i can solve this problem?
New versions of WAMP use apache 2.2.x and lovest php version supported for that is 5.2. That beeing said you can downgrade your php version of wamp installation by downloading a php addon http://www.wampserver.com/en/addons_php.php from here. Or you can ultimately downgrade WAMP apache installation from 2.2 to 2.0 http://www.wampserver.com/en/addons_apache.php . If your project don't work with 5.2 or 5.3 you need to debug and update your code with the latest changes in php http://php.net/migration53
There are some (but not many) backward-incompatible changes between PHP 5.0 and 5.3. But they're fairly obscure and not generally going to cause major issues. You can find the full details here: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/migration53.incompatible.php
However my guess is that it's more likely that you've installed the new version missing one or more extensions which your code is relying on.
For example, if you are using the pdo_xx() functions, you would need the PDO extension. Most PHP programs will use functionality from several extensions, and not all of them may be included in the default installation, so you need to ensure you have installed with all the ones you need.
The other possibility is that there's an issue with the installation (either PHP itself or the web server, etc) that is preventing PHP from running at all.
But this is all really a guess, because you haven't actually told us anything about what exactly the problem is. You need to look and see in what way it's failing. If you're not getting error messages in the browser, check the server error logs. This is the quickest way to diagnose the problem. It should give you some good clues (if it doesn't help you understand what's happening, paste the relevant log entries here, because they'll definitely make sense to someone)

Installing IonCube on IIS7 / Windows Server 2008

we've inherited a PHP project from a client that requires IonCube. Our boxes all run on IIS7 and although we've followed the instructions for configuring it, it isn't loading the decoder library. Have any of you had any success with getting IonCube up and running on Win 2k8 (32bit)? I'm pulling my hair out over this so any help would be beyond appreciated.
Thanks
For anyone attempting to do this in the future, here is what you must do:
Determine if you are running a thread-safe version of PHP. You can check that by accessing your php_info or the file they provide. If you are not running a threadsafe version continue:
Download the non-ts version (non-threadsafe version) from the typical download page (there are two version available)
Put the Dlls inside of your Windows\System folder (i put mine in a subfolder)
Add the line zend_extension = C:\Windows\System32\ioncube\ioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll
note that it is NOT zend_extension_ts and is zend_extension instead
restart IIS
Run their ioncube-loader-helper.php file to verify that it worked properly.
Enjoy.
