I have found plenty of tutorials covering how to install memcache in Windows and install the PHP extension. My situation though is slightly unusual:
I'm using iis, not apache.
I don't need to install memcache on the server (it has its own dedicated server already setup). I ONLY need to install the extension.
I thought I simply needed to add the PHP_memcache.dll extension to the PHP extension folder and add it to PHP.ini
This causes an error loading the PHP module (unable to load dynamic library).
Is this error likely to be caused because memcache isn't installed on the server and what can I do to solve it?
Errors while loading extensions in Windows are not as helpful as they are in Linux, so you need a tool like dependency walker to fish out the problem.

If you are using XAMPP on Windows you probably have installed the 32bit-XAMPP version.
So make sure you are using the 32bit (x86) DLL of Memcache.
The DLL download List for windows can be found here: http://pecl.php.net/package/memcache/3.0.8/windows

I have been trying to install memcached on an ubuntu server and I followed a lot of tutorials over the internet. I am using 32-bit ubuntu 12.04, php version 5.4.7, xampp server 1.8.1 which are all 32-bit versions. In the end, I followed the tutorial in the below link and I installed all the things listed with no error.
http://stevelove.org/2009/09/30/how-to-install-php-memcached-on-an-ubuntu-server/
The only problem I have is that when I installed memcached using "sudo pecl install memcached" command, the extension couldn't be added to php.ini file. Then I used phpinfo() to learn which php.ini file I am using and added extension=memcached.so to the ini file. When I restarted xampp server, php.ini file doesn't work and it tries to download the pages. In the php error log, I get this error.
[30-May-2013 16:42:48 UTC] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/memcache.so' - /opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/memcache.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
Since I couldn't enable the extension, even though memcached is listed as installed with php -m command, I get Class memcached not found error when I try to execute my php code.
Can someone please help me with this issue?
Maybe because you installed the server but not the extension, try
sudo apt-get install php5-memcached
ps: memcache != memcached
Firstly, thank you for your answer Mohammad. I know that memcache is not memcached and as I said, when I list modules, memcached seems installed (not memcache) but when I use phpinfo(), memcached is not listed.
It turns out that even though I installed memcached, problem was xampp installation. I removed lampp and php5 installed in ubuntu and purged everything I installed. Then I installed xampp with development packages and re-installed libmemcached etc. It works fine now.
If there is anybody having similar problem, I can explain in detail.
I have RabbitMQ running on one of our servers and am trying to connect to it via PHP. I am developing on a Windows7 machine and my first line of code reads:
$cnn = new AMQPConnection();
It gives me the error:
Fatal error: Class 'AMQPConnection' not found in
I know that it is something that I need to install but what is it ? I am new to PHP so a little help would be nice.
Ps: I can connect to the RMQ server via the RabbitMQ admin web interface.
Thank you
Jack
Installation guide for php_amqp 1.4.0 (Stable version):
Download proper package for your php version from https://pecl.php.net/package/amqp/1.4.0/windows
Unpack php_amqp.dll to X:/php/ext/ directory
Unpack rabbitmq.1.dll to X:/Windows/system (not system32) directory
Modify php.ini file and add "extension=php_amqp.dll" line at the end of extensions list
Verify module installation by executing command "X:/php/php.exe -m" in command line
Restart webserver
I am developing on a Windows7 machine
You may be out of luck using that specific code. That class is from the PECL aqmp extension. Inside the installation instructions, it states:
Note to Windows users: This extension does not currently support Windows since the librabbitmq library does not yet support Windows.
You will want to use another library to speak to your message queue instead.
The rabbitmq-c library supports windows now, and the php_amqp pecl extension builds on windows as well. The documentation just hasn't been updated, nor are there any official binary builds in the wild. However, I managed to get them to build and have some 32 bit dll's available for download here:
http://www.nathanjohnson.info/?p=77
# AMQP installation php.net:
Note to Windows users: This extension does not currently support Windows since the librabbitmq library does not yet support Windows.
But here at RabbitMQ website is a windows installer...
Apparently this php.net page is outdated
To install do like this:
Download the correct package for your php from this official PECL amqp 1.4.0 page
unzip
add amqp.dll to your php ext folder
add rabbitmq.1.dll to your windows system 32 folder.
This according to the post on the blog I found here i think it is from the same #NathanJohnson who posted also here.
How I got it working:
My System Config: Win 7 Pro, (x64) XAMPP running PHP 5.6(x86)
Follow instruction from here to install RabbitMQ:
https://www.rabbitmq.com/install-windows.html
Now download compatible extension from here
https://pecl.php.net/package/amqp/1.4.0/windows
in my case it is "5.6 Thread Safe (TS) x86"
Now from zip file (php_amqp-1.4.0-5.6-ts-vc11-x86.zip) downloaded copy dll "php_amqp.dll" to your php extension folder in my case it is "xampp/php/ext" and copy dll "rabbitmq.1.dll" to "Windows\system" directory.
now register your php_amqp dll in php.ini file as
"extension=php_amqp.dll"
now restart apache.
Done. Now you should not get AMQPConnection not found exception.
When I try to start Apache with
[PHP_APC]
extension = php_apc.dll
[apc]
apc.shm_segments=1
apc.optimization=0
apc.shm_size=128
apc.ttl=7200
apc.user_ttl=7200
apc.num_files_hint=1024
apc.mmap_file_mask=/tmp/apc.XXXXXX
apc.enable_cli=1
in php.ini, it fails. I have the php_apc.dll in the ext directory.
Using Apache 2.2.17 and PHP 5.2.14 on Windows 7 x64.
Any suggestions?
After trying a lot of solutions, I found one that worked for me... so I am going to post this as an answer just to help people that may have the same problem finding the correct version to use.
I am using Windows 7 32bits, PHP 5.3.13, Apache 2.2.22, and the php_apc.dll found in the file apc-igbinary-fastlz-snap20110301-5.3-ts-vc9-x86.zip in this site: http://downloads.php.net/pierre/
I have registered the extension by just pasting the following code to the end of php.ini file:
[PHP_APC]
extension=php_apc.dll
Then I checked the result of phpinfo(), by using this php file:
phpinfo.php
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Best bet, due to the limited windows PECL support atm, is to install Zend Server CE w/ PHP 5.3. You can have it install itself on IIS or Apache on the windows machine. Zend Server comes with APC built in (As well as many other PHP modules missing from the current 5.3 PECL stack).
As a side note, you could probably (I haven't tested this so...is just a possibility) install the server, "steal" the dlls, and install PHP however you like w/o zend server. BUT, that said, Zend server is actually pretty nice :)
Fixed. Was using the wrong version of APC.
when on Windows use APC VC6 from here

I am pulling my hair for the moment trying to work with redis database in PHP. After some discussion, I was told that this PHP extension would do the trick for me: http://github.com/owlient/phpredis
How can I install it on my development server which runs WinXP? Does it need compiling to become a Windows-supported .dll-file?
Thanks
I have compiled a binary for php 5.3 here. To install it just download and put the dll in the php extensions directory and add the extension to php.ini.

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
