Where can I download extensions from PECL for PHP 5.3? I find that the links are only for 5.2.6, and the site of PECL4Win is discontinued.
I tried to download extensions from PECL on the site but the code is written in C and I can not compile the files and get the .dll.
Why can't you compile the C files? There is a lot of tutorials out there that show you how to do it. It takes an hour or two to get all configured and setup, but it's worth it because you don't need to wait in the future for new .dll files to come out, you can just compile yourself.

On php it says:
PECL extensions for Windows is being worked on. The interface on the pecl website will most likely be updated to offer Windows DLL download right from that website.
In the meantime, some extensions can be found here.

I found tons of instructions, how to install Imagick on windows. Here is a very good and detaild explanation.
I am following the instructions. So, first, download the latest DLL from PECL. Copy the php_imagick.dll to the extension dir, copy the _CORE* libraries to PHP root directory, and it shows me the following version: ImageMagick 6.9.1-2 Q16 x64 2015-04-14
Wow, great, now I have nothing to do just install this exe.
Oh, wait...
There are no installer like this. And the problems starts here. Of course, I've tried to download and install the latest installer, installed it, set the environment variables, but it always says something about entry points.
I don't know why Imagick guys removes the releases from their ftp, I think this is a very bad behaviour. Can not access from archive too.
So I am unable to installing the Imagick.
Can anybody help me with this version of installer, or give me a step-by-step instruction, how to install this Imagick for Windows 10, 64bit for Apache 2.4.2 64bit, and PHP 5.6.5 64bit?
I tried the 32bit version, but with that, the phpinfo() does not show me anything.
EDIT: There is an alternative download location here.
I started a thread on the Imagick forum, and now I don't know, should I cry or should I laugh...
The answer for my question was this:
Hmm... it seems we don't build our libraries with 'deprecated' methods. I will see if we can change this before the next release so DrawAllocateWand will not suddenly be gone.
I tell to the guy, ok, it's a cool thing, but I've just reinstall my machine from the scratch, so, I got this error:
Procedure entry point (DrawAllocateWand) not found in DLL
or something similar, I translated it.
So, please tell me, where can I download the ImageMagick 6.9.1-2 Q16 x64 2015-04-14 binaries, because it seems, that php_imagick.dll need this, and I should work...
The answer was:
We don't keep an archive of old binary version of ImageMagick. You could however decide to build IM from source.
CONCLUSION
If you ever had a working installer for windows for Apache, PHP, Imagick, you should always keep these in the cloud for yourself. MHO: I really hate these things. I know, most of us is working on linux boxes, but our company policy is to use OS what admin says. So I need to use windows. Now I should suck for a while, to download and install a cygwin with compilers, compile the Imagick somehow, and set all the environments variables, because some developers do not use a version controller, or maybe the sotrage is too expensive for them to store old binaries... I can not imagene these options.
ImageMagick is available here:
http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/deps/
Imagick, that has been compiled against that version of ImageMagick is available here
http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/imagick/3.4.0rc5/
Downloading random versions of libraries from other places is not guaranteed to work.
I downloaded WINCACHE-1.3.7.4.tgz from the PECL download page. Unpacking it i find many a C orientated source file. Compiling from source in Linux i have some experience in BUT none at all in Windows (i am running Windows 7).
The instructions on PHP.net's WinCache pages does not seem to match the files extracted from the `.tgz'
I have looked at suggested questions
Creating Windows DLL from C++ source files
Creating php DLL from pecl source files
but i have NO idea where to actually start off.
And thus, does anyone know how i would build WinCache .DLL from the provided source? (if at all easily possible)
Do you really need to build this extension from source? If not, you can download precompiled DLLs here. If yes, you have to follow this tutorial for compiling PHP extension on Windows. Basically, you have to build PHP and it will also compile extension that you will enable. After successful compilation you should be able to find required dll and use it with your running PHP.
But another question is for what do you need it? What version of PHP do you use? If 5.5+ you should consider OPCache instead WinCache.
Since the Zend Opcache extension is now in the core PHP product, the WinCache opcode cache is disabled by default. As of PHP 5.5, the opcode cache portion of WinCache is deprecated, and will be removed in a future release of the WinCache extension.
I found a few related posts here but didn't get my answer. So posting again.
How would I install a PECL extension on windows? Say I want the PECL oAuth extension on Windows XP.
I know 2 methods, but none of them is working for me.
The site http://pecl4win.php.net/ is down for months. So I cant download the DLL. Is there any place we can download the DLLs from ?
running the command
pecl install oauth-0.99.9.tgz is throwing the error
The DSP oauth.dsp does not exist.
I tried with few other extensions also and getting the same error.
What am I missing here?
Releases can now be found here:
http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/
If you need an extension not available there you might ask on the pecl-dev at lists.php.net mailing list.
I got what I am looking for in http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/
Currently PECL for windows is in an odd reformation state. The reason being that I believe they are trying to provide VS2008 source versions. I would actually suggest using Zend Server for now until the windows half of the php group gets everything fixed up. Zend Server includes almost all of the extensions that you can find in PECL, and everything else, if you are lucky, you could find an compile yourself.
The PECL installer downloads the source code of the extension and tries to compile it with your local C compiler. The problem is that the whole process is designed for Unix systems, where a C compiler is available or can be easily installed. Setting an environment to compile C code under Windows is pretty complicate.
The ideal solution is getting a DLL file that someone already compiled. That's what the pcle4win site was for. However, there's currently no official repository to download PECL DLLs so you only have two alternatives:
Find an unofficial DLL somewhere in Google
Compile it yourself (another link) with Microsoft Visual Studio
It'd be cool that there was a DLL repository out there but I'm unaware of any.
The php source ships with a set of configuration scripts for windows (using windows script host) that mimics the autoconf tools as far as php is concerned. If you place the code for the extension in a directory under the /ext directory (where all the other extensions like bcmath, bzip, ... are located) you can let the buildconf-script create a makefile that includes the build rules for that (new) extension.
There's a step-by-step walk-through at http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild which seems to be brief but feasible.

Is there a .dll version of the inclued extension for PHP?
The manual's link for Inclued on PECL4WIN doesn't help. I don't have a compiler to build my own DLL.
NOTE: The spelling "inclued" is correct!
Edit: I don't have a compiler, but do know someone with one... that's really a last resort though.
As best as I can tell, the Windows version doesn't exist anymore. Maybe whoever was maintaining it before had to stop for some reason.
I wonder what it takes to compile a PECL extension under Windows.
Edit
Here's some info on compiling a different PECL extension on Windows. You may be able to extrapolate to the inclued extension.
Edit
WAMP Server comes with PECL & PEAR. I can actually run the command pecl install inclued-alpha from the Windows command-line and it goes out and tries to grab the inclued extension from the PECL site.
Unfortunately it dies when it unpacks the .tgz file and tries to compile it
ERROR: The DSP inclued.dsp does not exist.
Which version of PHP are you running? I know someone that can compile you a version.
update
Alright, got this compiled - I've tested on my 5.2.6 build and it seems to work fine.
I've been told there may be problems using it in a threaded environment (e.g. Windows) but that's only a maybe. Also:
[13:10] <g0pz> the inclued dumpfiles will collide, because it uses PID # + increments
[13:11] <g0pz> but command line should work ok
[13:12] <g0pz> is the threaded apache version which'll have the same PID and well, a "possible" collision
So good luck with it :)
download
Poke me if you have any issues with inclued.
I'm just on the verge of putting out a release, I'll do a mkstemp() in windows instead of picking the PID + count.
Hopefully also with a gensvg.php which'll render the di-graph in-browser with pear::Image::GraphViz.
Isn't this their DLL download site? http://pecl4win.php.net/list_dlls.php
Unless I'm off on my browsing of the site?
Is this the page you are looking for?

The official PHP for Windows site says:
PECL For Windows
PECL extensions for Windows is being worked on. The interface on the
pecl website will most likely be updated to offer Windows DLL download
right from that website. In the meantime, some extensions can be found
here.
That "here" link leads to http://downloads.php.net/pierre/, where you will find, among the multitude of other extensions, builds of inclued for PHP 5.2 and 5.3, VC6 and VC9, thread-safe and non-thread-safe. The one matching my version of PHP seems to be working.
I am using a Windows XP Home Edition. I need to install a few extensions to PHP -- memcache, APC, .etc. And I would very much like to use PECL to make this happen. The problem is PECL takes it for granted that I will have certain programs on my computer. On another post, I read, for instance, that you need to have Microsoft Visual Studio C++ installed on your machine. However, the new version of Visual Studio, which I downloaded, does not have msdev.exe and instead uses vcbuild.exe, which has a completely different api and fails to compile the .dsp files that come with these modules.
So I tried to find a script that would upgrade the dsp to work with vcbuild.exe...and it turns out vcbuild.exe can do that, but of course that didn't pan out.
Another thing I tried was to find a make script for Windows (nmake2make). But there was no make file in the module's root folder.
I tried also downloading Cygwin and MinGW in hopes of finding a build script that would work as simply as in *nix operating systems, but to no avail.
How else do I use install PHP extensions on a Windows machine? Can anyone help me out of this predicament?
For all peoples coming here to download the dll extension files.
This is the link to the PHP extension download link http://windows.php.net/download/
And this is a list of PHP extensions to download: http://pecl.php.net/package-search.php
For core extensions, or if you cant find any on pecl.php.net, download PHP from a zip http://windows.php.net/download/ and look inside of /ext and copy them to your local php /ext folder.
The only way I can think of is: manually. Yeah, I know, but this is pretty easy comparatively.
If you have the compiler, then you can at least compile an extension if you have the source. Otherwise you're stuck with trying to locate a binary distribution (like me).
Here's what you do, from what I understand:
Put the extension library folder under PHP's install path. On my computer this is C:\xampp\php\ext. Search in your PHP.ini for "extension_dir" to find what yours is.
Edit php.ini to load the extension.
Find ; Dynamic Extensions ;.
Add line extension=my_lib.dll
This should do it. Otherwise you should probably search for an in-depth guide on manual installation.
For memcache you will need the memcache server located here -> http://code.jellycan.com/memcached/ and download the win32 binary
Never used APC :P I use eAccelerator0953_5.2.6 to cache the code
