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.

I'm having really hard trouble installing libsodium on my local server (WAMP64).
I used this guide and many others, but still no luck.
I successfully installed PEAR but I can't use it to install the PHP wrapper of libsodium. Can someone post a little guide step by step to help me?
I would appreciate help installing Halite, wich needs libsodium, because maybe it will be my next step.
Thank you everyone.
On Windows, download the appropriate zip file for your version of PHP and then follow these three steps. (I used 1.0.6 for PHP 7.0 in my testing).
Copy libsodium.dll to the System32 Folder or the same directory as php.exe. Also copy it to the apache/bin/ folder (for me that was C:\xampp\apache\bin).
Copy php_libsodium.dll to the PHP extension directory (C:\xampp\php\ext\ for me)
Add extension=php_libsodium.dll to your php.ini file.
The bolded part in step 1 is what I was missing. As soon as I placed the dll in that folder and restarted Apache, everything started working.
You can create a new php file with this code to verify it is working properly:
<?php
var_dump([
\Sodium\library_version_major(),
\Sodium\library_version_minor(),
\Sodium\version_string()
]);
Do Not Try To Install Pecl Extensions On Windows With Pear/Pecl. It Will Not Work.
Rather use pre-compiled .dll file.
The guide page even says so:
Installing Libsodium and the PHP Extension on Windows
On Windows, download the appropriate zip file for your version of PHP and then follow these three steps.
goto WAMPSERVER and install listed PHP
Enable sodium and check in 'Show PHP loaded Extensions' it will get loaded
check-in PHP module if sodium is available or not with the following command
cmd> php -m
cmd> php --ri sodium
if sodium is not listed then go to your /php/php.ini and search for ';extension=sodium' and remove ';' you will be good to go
I'm running OSX El Capitan with XAMPP and I need to convert a dbase file to a MySQL database. I tried to use the dbase library in PHP but none of those functions are available. I headed to the documentation but it told me to recompile PHP with dbase enabled. I've got no clue on how to do that. Isn't it a matter of putting some files in the right directory?
A post told me to uncomment php_gmp.dll but that didn't work. No errors in the Apache log either.
Another post told me to run pecl install dbase, but there doesn't
seem to be any package available to Terminal's response.
The source file is around 1,5 Gb in size. I purchased DBFEdit from the app store but that only shows me the content of the file, I can't split it and it's too large for any other application to open (Excel, Notepad, Coda etc) nor does it provide support to copy rows from the files into e.g. Excel. So I'm back to the dbase functions again.
Any suggestions on how to be able to use dbase on OSX?
First question is are you sure you are modifying the right php.ini for XAMPP? OSX comes with php and has a php.ini that is likely in a different location than XAMPP's.
Otherwise... you can install the php dbase extension using brew....
Install/enable the php dbase extension by first installing brew. Instructions for installing brew are here:
http://brew.sh/
Next install the appropriate extension for your version of PHP. If you do a brew search dbase it lists the following:
homebrew/php/php53-dbase
homebrew/php/php54-dbase
homebrew/php/php55-dbase
homebrew/php/php56-dbase
To install one of them type something like this:
brew install homebrew/php/php56-dbase
After this, you may need to modify your php.ini to point to that extension (perhaps using a symlink or other method). Brew installs extensions in locations that will likely be different than your XAMPP installation.
I have installed download and install ImageMagick-6.8.3-7-Q16-x86-dll.exe from the link http://imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows and I am using Windows 7 and PHP 5.3.8.
When in install this it got installed correctly in my machine and convert commands works perfectly. On my convert config what shows is here:
But on my phpinfo section I get:
ImageMagick supported formats has no value
I got all the image magick values like this https://www.evernote.com/shard/s297/sh/12397c86-d016-4ca4-9415-fd541daeca39/2fc504bf5ddba5693efd3249402b2b5c.
I don't know why it is getting as no value i have installed the same ImageMagick-6.8.3-7-Q16-x86-dll.exe on php 5.3.8 in my 32 bit windows7 machine . The php_imagick.dll i downloded from other website. I don't know what is the issue i am having in install imagemaagick, if it is the issue with php_imagick.dll version can anybody suggest proper php_imagick version for this configuration?
I have spent several days looking for a solution, and I finally found it with Sysinternals procmon.
I found out apache was looking for dll files like IM_MOD_xxxx.dll in folders c:\windows\system and /bin. Copying the files to one of those folders did the trick to me.
Cood luck.
Not all versions of ImageMagick will work with all versions of php_imagick.dll. The Imagick extension v3.4.* in combination with ImageMagick 7.* gave no support for any image format. When I downgraded to ImageMagick 6.9.* the problem was solved.
On an echo of phpinfo you can see which version of ImageMagick is needed. Search for "Imagick using ImageMagick library version" and "Imagick compiled with ImageMagick version" (which should be equal).

Since its first result on google when looking for solution to this issue I'll add one that worked for me. Source: http://forums.zend.com/viewtopic.php?t=2397#p15226
I was having issues with PHP 5.6, it recognized the extension but no formats were supported. (http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/imagick/3.1.2/)
Installing latest version of imagemagick(with dynamic libs) and copying DLL files from imagemagickDir/modules/coders/* and imagemagickDir/modules/filters/* to imagemagick root helped, now imagemagick works properly from when calling php.
Don't forget to give IIS access to imagemagick folder.
EDIT:
When IIS successfully recognized formats, I ran into compatibility issues.
Working combo for PHP 5.6:
http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/imagick/3.2.0b2/
http://ftp.icm.edu.pl/packages/ImageMagick/binaries/ImageMagick-6.8.8-9-Q16-x86-dll.exe
Check that
MAGICK_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\ImageMagick-6.8.8-Q16\modules\coders
is set.
I had the same problem, and tried everything. You do not need - as I thought - ImageMagick installed on your system to run the Imagick module for PHP. You simply need to make sure you include both the CORE_RL_* dlls as well as the IM_MOD_* dlls in the apache/bin directory, and then also the php_imagick.dll in the php/ext directory.
I'm running PHP 7.0.25 x86 via XAMPP on Windows, and these instructions were incredibly simple and helpful:
https://mlocati.github.io/articles/php-windows-imagick.html
There are a lot of answers out there, as the landscape for this program and PHP have changed over time.
I am so cutting edge as to be using PHP 7.1 at the moment. At first I was copying DLLs all over the place like all of the instructions have you do. Luckily, all that is necessary is the latest PECL package and the corresponding version of Imagick for your system, which was the tricky part. You can't used the latest Imagick (version 7 at the time of writing this) if you want to use the PHP extension, until the extension is upgraded. You have to install a version of Imagick on your system that matches the PHP extension version.
As others have instructed, download the latest PECL package for imagick for your PHP version. Since I'm using the thread-safe x64 version of PHP 7.1, I want the 3.4.3RC1 package, the only one with a DLL for my version of PHP at this time.
Of these files, I only need to copy over php_imagick.dll. Next, head over to http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/deps/ and download the latest Imagick for your system which is probably going to be the VC14 one at this point, for which it seems just a matter of installing the corresponding C++ Redistributable package on your system for it to work. Simply unzip the files and add the bin to your path. Again, if you have a newer version of Imagick, you'll want to replace it with this one because this is the one that will work with the php extension.
At this point, you should be able to restart apache and confirm that the imagick extension is enabled in the phpinfo. It should show you the version of Imagick for the PHP extension. Again, if the Imagick on your system in your path is a version that matches what is shown for the PHP extension, then you should see the list of supported formats that it is getting from the DLLs from the version 6 Imagick on your system. You will not need to copy them to apache bin or anywhere else, nor make a MAGICK_HOME folder.
Even after installing imagick & imagemagick correctly, if it is not working, please check your Apache Environment PATH Variable. Most probably if the path variable is not showing your ImageMagick inatallation folder, please add that into windows advanced system settings/environment variables/system variables -> PATH.
Restart WAMP server and check to see the phponfo for Apache Environment PATH Variable.
I searched posts and tried various suggestions - for several hours. I did not attain success until I tried the steps here: https://mlocati.github.io/articles/php-windows-imagick.html (as posted by Codesmith - and I agree the steps are short, easy-to-follow). My need was to install on WAMP.
The page behind this link tells how to determine the correct version to download of Imagick and ImageMagick. Just extract three sets of files to stated directories, make a change in php.ini, and restart WAMP. My code uses only JPEG and PNG formats, so of the format-based DLLs, I moved only those.
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.
http://www.dependencywalker.com/
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 am trying to compile the imagemagick (imagick) extension to use in a non-thread-safe environment on windows.
I am using PHP 5.3.10 and have set up Visual C++ express as my compiling environment.
The problem is that I am using a non-thread-safe version of PHP as a FCGI module in Apache 2.2.
Thus, my PHP is supplied with a php5.lib and not a php5ts.lib. I believe this is the reason why I am getting these errors:
imagick.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__tsrm_mutex_alloc referenced in function _zm_startup_imagick
I have only ever built and compiled things on linux, so am not too sure how to do this on a windows environment.
How can I compile the extension so that it is non-thread-safe?
I downloaded the threadsafe binary of PHP 5.3.10 to get a copy of php5ts.lib. I was then able to compile the extension.
I am guessing that setting the ZTS preprocessor directive to either 1 or 0 would cause the extension to compile as either threadsafe or non-thread-safe. (Not too sure about this, so if someone could let me know if this is correct or not, it would be much appreciated. :) )
I then set up a virtual machine running Windows 7 and installed the latest version of WAMP. Reason being that it used a threadsafe version of PHP.
I placed the dll in the ext folder in the PHP installation and enabled it in php.ini. However, even after trying both the ts and nts version in WAMP, I would get:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.10/ext/imagick.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
in Unknown on line 0
But the thing is that c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.10/ext/imagick.dll' does exist, and yes I have checked this a lot of times.
I then downgraded ImageMagick to 6.6.2-10-Q16, but still see the same problem.
The same issue occurs on my dev machine running a nts version of PHP 5.3.10 on Apache 2.2 (all installed manually).
Looks like I could be wrong regarding the ZTS preprocessor. If I set ZTS=0 and compile, using dependency walker on the compiled dll still shows that it requires php5ts.dll which is only present on threadsafe versions of PHP.
I did more tinkering with dependency walker and found that I had to statistically link to msvc100d.dll. I then removed ZTS in the preprocessor definition and was able to compile using php5.lib instead of php5ts.dll. I think this should get me a non-ts dll.
However, when loading the extension, I am still getting:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'imagick.dll' in Unknown on line 0
And errors from dependency walker:
Error: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in an implicitly dependent module.
Error: Modules with different CPU types were found.
Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.
Installed visual c++ express 2008 and compiled using platform toolkit v90, but still facing the same issues.
Any tips appreciated :)
Solution Found! See my answer.
Got it! I hope this can help those compiling php extensions on windows in the future. What I have done is based on: https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild
Note: I read an answer on this site that said compiling PHP extensions by itself on windows is unsupported. Based on my experiments yesterday, it seems to be a lot of work as well, so I am using the PHP build process.
The best way is to use the PHP build process.
Install Visual C++ Express 2008 (any version will do, but express is free) and Windows SDK 6.1 (note that we want the 6.1 version not anything older or newer).
Install the SVN client tools if you haven't done so and restart for your PATH variable to take effect.
Get the PHP SDK binary tools and extract it to C:\php-sdk.
Start the CMD Shell under Microsoft Windows SDK v6.1 in your start menu and run cd C:\php-sdk.
Run setenv /x86 /xp /release this creates a 32-bit release. You can use /x64 to build a 64-bit release (I have not tried this).
run bin\phpsdk_setvars.bat
run bin\phpsdk_buildtree.bat php53dev
Download the PHP source code and extract it to C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86 so that you end up with C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86\php5.3-xyz
Download the latest deps and extract everything to C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86. You may be prompted to overwrite any existing folders, so press yes.
run cd C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86
Check out the latest version of your extension from the svn repository: svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/pecl/imagick/trunk pecl/imagick I am checking out imagick here.
Install any dependencies. In my case, I need to install ImageMagick, so I downloaded the latest recommended windows binary. You will need to restart after installation to update your PATH variable, but you can do this after you have compiled. Make sure you install the C/C++ headers and includes as well.
Copy the contents of the includes directory from the ImageMagick install directory to C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86\deps\include.
Copy the contents of the lib directory from the ImageMagick install directory to C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86\deps\lib
Now, let's build: run cd C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86\php5.3-xyz then buildconf then configure --help. Look at the help properly. It will show you all config flags and any avaliable extensions to enabled. In my case, since I added imagick, I had an option called --with-imagick
Run config: configure --enable-cli --with-imagick=shared --disable-zts If you want to build a non-thread-safe binary use --disable-zts, otherwise remove that configuration flag. I am not sure why, but sometimes extensions use the --with-myextension flag and sometimes --enable-myextension, so check configure --help for the flag to use. If you add =shared after the extension flag, it will be compiled as a separate DLL, which si what we want.
Compile: run nmake then nmake snap.
Done :) Check C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86\php-5.3.10\Release (non-thread-safe) or C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86\php-5.3.10\Release_TS (thread-safe). Your compiled binaries should be in there. The compiled extensions (pecl), should be in a ZIP file similiar to pecl-5.3.10-nts-Win32-VC9-x86.zip. Open this file and extract the extensio DLL to your ext folder in your PHP installation.
Enable the PHP extension and restart your webserver. Run phpinfo() and check that the extension is enabled.
If the extension does not work properly, make sure you reboot to update your PATH variable. In my case, I need to have the imagemagick install directory in my PATH variable.
???
Profit!
Is there a reason you need to compile? Why not download? It's usually much simpler/quicker on Windows.
