I am running wamp server with php 5.3.0. My efforts running memcached were a fail :( After googeling I found out that the problem is that I need the correct php_memcache.dll which is a vc6 compiled for windows 7 X64. Does anyone know where can I find the dll?
If you are running a 64 bit webserver and 64 bit php you need 64 bit extensions and a 64 bit service:
The common service and extensions will not work for you.
Install the 64 bit memcached service:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.northscale.com/memcached-win64-1.4.4-14.zip
And one of these php extensions (to match your php version):
Php 5.3: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?o60feet9sw71six
Php 5.4: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?8d3vd26z3fg6bf1
Follow up for people looking for other 64 bit php extensions:

From what I have found on PHP web pages, 64bit is not supported on VC6 platform. But to make things clean, you only need 64bit dlls only if you have the rest of the program compiled in 64bits. And as PHP can't be VC6+64bit, you 'only' have to find VC6 version of php_memcache.dll. I've tried to find some recent version of it, as my XAMPP is also VC6, but to no avail.

I'm unable to make ioncube encoder work with Apache 2.4.12 and PHP 5.5.8. So, this is what I've done by now:
1. Installed httpd-2.4.12-win32-VC11 [http://www.apachelounge.com/download/]
2. Installed php-5.5.8-Win32-VC11-x64.zip [http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/archives/]
Their raw combination works ok - I can run php scripts etc. I then:
3. Installed ioncube for Windows VC11 (64 bits) [https://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php]
I made corrections to php.ini and when I do php -m I see that it loads ioncube extension without any errors. However, when I now start Apache I get an error with a message about zend_get_hash_value and php5ts.dll. (PS. Combination with Apache 2.2, PHP 5.4 and ioncube works for me, but it seems rather outdated).
It seems like you have mismatched the thread-safe version of Apache and the ionCube Loader. PHP extensions have to match exactly the version that they run on, that is PHP with thread-safety enabled has to have a thread-safe Loader.
To confirm this, go to the output of your phpinfo(); and look for the entry Thread Safety. If it says disabled, make sure you have the Non-TS version of the ionCube Loader (Win x64 Non-TS zip). Likewise, if it says enabled, make sure you have to thread-safe version of the Loader (Win x64 TS zip).
Furthermore, please consider using 32bit PHP / Apache on Windows, as PHP 64bit is still marked as experimental and can cause issues with the ionCube Loader:
The x64 builds of PHP for Windows should be considered experimental, and do not yet provide 64-bit integer or large file support (source)
I'm trying to integrate php on Apache. Following is the versions I'm using
Apache 2.4 (httpd-2.0.64-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8o)
PHP (php-5.5.0-Win32-VC11-x64.zip)
I'm setting this on a 64 bit windows 7 machine. I have made the configurations as per this, but I'm getting the following error even though I have place the dll in the specified folder.
Cannot load C:/php/php5apache2_4.dll into server: The specified
module could not be found.
The httpd.conf line entry is this
LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache2_4.dll"
Is there any version compatible issues?
The only way I've been able to get PHP (5.5) to work with Apache (2.4) on Windows (7 and 8) is to make sure Apache and PHP are both either 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) and that Apache and PHP are both Thread Safe (TS). Using Non-Thread Safe (NTS) did not work for me (or others), and the Thread Safe build comes bundled with the needed Apache Module for PHP "php5apache2_4.dll". Once all my bit-depths and thread safety was matched up, Apache 2.4 and PHP 5.5 work well together on my Windows systems.
Both products must also have been compiled using the same major versions of Microsoft Visual Studio/C++, such as VC6 (the legacy VC++ compiler), VC9=Studio 2008, or VC11=Studio 2012. For the above Apache versions, only VC9 or VC11 are commonly used.

You are right Marty, they work only if both are either 32bit or 64 bit. I used XAMPP- Apache's distributed installation to resolve this issue.
Apache win 32 with 64 bits its the problem, you need Apache64
I need to install PHP 5.3.x (preferably x >= 4) on Windows box running Apache. Unfortunately, in the PHP downloads page, I cannot find any PHP 5.3.x compiled with VC6. So...
Can I use the VC9 binaries on Apache?
If so, how? Do I have to do anything special?
From the release announcement:
Windows users: please mind that we do no longer provide builds created
with Visual Studio C++ 6. It is impossible to maintain a high quality
and safe build of PHP for Windows using this unmaintained compiler.
For Apache SAPIs (php5_apache2_2.dll), be sure that you use a Visual
Studio C++ 9 version of Apache. We recommend the PHP builds as provided
by ApacheLounge. For any other SAPI (CLI, FastCGI via mod_fcgi, FastCGI
with IIS or other FastCGI capable server), everything works as before.
Third party extension providers must rebuild their extensions to make
them compatible and loadable with the Visual Studio C++9 builds that we
no longer provide.

http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=2743 - In this thread, they say that using VC9 PHP is not recommended at all with VC6 Apache, even though it might work at first. They don't say why.
http://windows.php.net/qa/ - Here, they also state not to use PHP5.3 VC9 with Apache compiled with VC6 (and also don't state why).
I think it might be best to upgrade your Apache to the VC9 version: http://www.apachelounge.com/download/
PHP 5.3.5 for VC6 server is still available: http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/archives/
I'm fairly sure you can install the VC9 versions of Apache from http://www.apachelounge.com/download/ and they will work with the 5.3.x VC9 builds.
i need help installing and configuring PHP APC i have downloaded from http://downloads.php.net/pierre/ in my PHP info, i see
Compiler MSVC9 (Visual C++ 2008)
Architecture x86
so i downloaded php_apc-5.3-nts-svn20100226-vc9-x86.zip. then to install, i tried adding
[PHP_APC]
extension=php_apc.dll
to php.ini. restarting Apache fails. trying to execute php in cmd results in an error saying php5.dll is missing. but i doubt so. removing the 2 lines from php.ini fixes the error. how can i install apc then?
UPDATE: This is a very old answer. Since then I've used APC well with php5.4 and since the upgrade to php5.5 which removed APC, moved to memcached.
On Windows, seems php5.3 cannot work with APC. I simply use php5.2.5 instead as it's not a production machine anyway.
for the record :
Which version do I choose?
If you are using PHP with Apache1 or Apache2 from apache.org, you need to use the VC6 versions of PHP
If you are using PHP with IIS, you should use the VC9 versions of PHP.
VC6 Versions are compiled with the legacy Visual Studio 6 compiler
VC9 Versions are compiled with the Visual Studio 2008 compiler and have improvements in performance and stability. The VC9 versions require you to have the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x86) or the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x64) installed
Do NOT use VC9 version with apache.org binaries
Short story use vc6 for apache and vc9 for windows
Personally i use PHP 5.2.6 and php_apc_3014_php521.dll. It works in production.
I had a similar problem. I used this copy of PHP APC: http://downloads.php.net/pierre/php_apc-3.1-svn20101116-5.3-vc6-x86.zip and it worked to put 3.1.7-dev in place on XAMPP 1.7.7 with PHP 5.3.8
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
