I have an ApacheFriends XAMPP running on my windows machine and i am trying to access some Paradox database files directly from PHP.
I see that there is an extension for this but how can i install it for my windows system?
copy the extension's .dll to path\to\xampp\php\ext\
and a line similar to extension=php_paradox.dll in path\to\xampp\php\php.ini, where php_paradox.dll is the name of your extension's .dll file
configure your extension's parameters in path\to\xampp\php\php.ini, if any, per your extension's intructions
restart Apache
If you have pecl installed, pecl install paradox might fetch it on to your system. If not you must step though the ugly steps of extension compiling:
download php source code
copy the extension's source in path/php-src/ext/ dir
./configure --prefix=/where/to/install/php --enable-debug --enable-maintainer-zts --enable-cgi --enable-cli --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql --with-PARADOX=shared,PATH/TO/DIR
make, make install and you'll find the .dll in install/path/ext/ dir
Mike,
I believe that that XAMPP install includes Paradox support by default. Simply use px_get_record() et. al. and you should be good.

I followed the instructions outlined here:
Install PHP Internationalization extension (Intl) on XAMPP on Mac
Ran sudo pecl install intl
selected the correct files from the Cellar
then this error happened:
/private/tmp/pear/temp/intl/intl_error.h:24:10: fatal error:
'ext/standard/php_smart_str.h' file not found
include
^ 1 error generated. make: *** [php_intl.lo] Error 1 ERROR: `make' failed
No matter, did some research and found out that PHP 7.0.8 deprecated php.smart_str.h to php.smart_string.h
So given my scant knowledge of C++ I copied smart_string.h to smart_str.h and renamed all the headers from STRING to string.....
re-ran pecl -no luck....more errors......without knowing where the .c files are and remaking php (not really interested in going that far) since anyway I'm using XAMPP so that ended that option.
I have php 5.5 on my mac, deep in the usr/local/bin folder
so next step was to get pecl to use those files and generate an intl.so file....
Did that....I have the intl.so file so put it in the 'extensions' folder in XAMPP (for reference: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20151012)
Ran php and came up with this error:
Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20151012/intl.so'
- dlopen(/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20151012/intl.so,

Expected in: flat namespace in
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20151012/intl.so
in Unknown on line 0
I imagine it has to do with different versions?
In any case I can't get pecl to install intl without a make error in PHP 7.0.8 on XAMPP. There is no documentation on this and you'd think that if you deprecate a header.h file you'd update all extensions?
Install intl.so in PHP 7 seems impossible?
After a lot of research I was finally able to resolve this. Detailed steps here:
before you begin, check which php path is set. it should be /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/php. If not you can change it by PATH="/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin:${PATH}". more detail here
Overall idea is to build the intl-extension from PHP source code on your own. Before you begin make sure you have installed Xcode. Also, install the latest version of autoconf. this might help:
brew install autoconf
Next download the version of PHP you use in XAMPP from php.net. I am using 7.1.18. This version worked for me: php-7.1.31, I’m guessing if you follow the steps it might work for 7.0 or 7.2 as well. Do let me know if it does or doesnt, I’ll update this post. Do not use PHP 7.3 for Magento 2.3.0, it is not supported.
Extract the tar.gz file using (I extracted it inside ~/Downloads/ folder )
tar -xzvf php-7.1.31.tar.gz
cd into the extracted folder
cd php-7.1.31
change to subfolder ext/intl
cd ext/intl/
Run these commands to build the extension
/Applications/XAMPP/bin/phpize
./configure --enable-intl --with-php-config=/Applications/XAMPP/bin/php-config --with-icu-dir=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/
make
sudo make install
you can now delete all files you downloaded and also the extracted folders.
Open /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/php.ini , and add extension=intl.so
Restart your Apache using XAMPP GUI and it should work.
So far, it seems that extension intl.so for php is bundled with php
and should be compiled with php (intl --enabled). XAMPP does not support this (as of Oct 2016), MAMP does. I do not know about other distros. However, if you're willing to recompile PHP 7, it's worth it just to do that and enable it during compiling.
So....I ran with MAMP. Then I decided that I would simply install apache 2.4 and php 7 and Mysql without the stack and the junk that comes with MAMP or XAMPP and everything works like a charm... so if you need to use CakePHP or intl support etc... just drop XAMPP/MAMP and go with a standard install. I used homebrew (MacOS) and everything is working fine.
Update: As regards Windows, XAMPP does not default it, but you can add the module (dll) in php.ini and works like a charm
The error means that XAMPP doesn't have PHP compiled with intl. You may try:
pecl install intl
but probably it won't work as well.
See: PHP Bug #72879 Pecl install intl make error with PHP 7.0.8.
As for the workaround, try installing memcached extension instead of memcache, e.g.
pecl install memcached
Note: It also requires libmemcached package/library to be installed beforehand. For macOS, install via: brew install libmemcached.
If you wanna try without homebrew, with native apache and php, look at my aswer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/55131868/3692846
Can anyone provide me a guide to install old version of php 5.3.26 on centos 6.5?
I have installed httpd through yum install -y httpd.
Go there :
https://github.com/php/php-src/tree/PHP-5.3.26
Download as zip.
Unzip on your server.
Now, configure your PHP. This is where you customize your PHP
with various options, like which extensions will be enabled. Do a
./configure --help for a list of available options. In our example
we'll do a simple configure with Apache 1 and MySQL support. Your
path to apxs may differ from our example.
./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/www/bin/apxs
And compile : make && make install
There are plenty of informations about this in the INSTALL file in the folder you unzipped
I would like to compile the php pecl extension ev http://pecl.php.net/package/ev for PHP 5.5+ into a dll-file on Win 8.1 64-Bit.
I have already downloaded the ev source-code and already installed Visual Studio Express(!) 2012. What do i have to do next? How can i compile the source-code?
There is no file->new->project from existing code in Visual Studio Express(!).
I have also already tried to install the pecl exptension with the pecl command. But this doesn´t work:
C:\xampp\php>pecl install ev No releases available for package
"pecl.php.net/ev" install failed
Check install.md file there are all informations what you need.
To be honest you can't install it doing with pecl command because there is information:
Currently GNU/Linux platforms supported only.
There is also manual installation guide but probably you would need to do it with MinGW/MySYS if any. I suppose you would need to edit sources.
mingw-w64 project has replaced mingw and mingw-build.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/4.9.1/threads-posix/sjlj/
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/4.9.1/threads-posix/sjlj/
you can of course pick a different version number by going up to a parent dir in the file tree. for example, if you look in the personal builds, you would find the most up-to-date:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/dongsheng-daily/4.9/
gcc uses not .lib files but instead .a files for libs, and php includes a .lib for devs, so immediately I know it's for VC++ (and it was compiled with that and it says so for the windows target download).
after you have correctly configured MSYS (not an easy job),
./configure;make;make install
./configure gives me the error:
configure: error: xml2-config not found. Please check your libxml2 installation.
libxml2 requires python, which certain windows antivirus packages remove from mingw-w64.
I have began installing pecl on MAMP. I have added the correct php version to the path and when which php it says /Applications/MAMP/... which is correct.
I have downloaded the Server Components and libraries moved them to a new folder in my php and run the ./configure everything seems to run ok and looked through all the checks being performed while installing and unpacking.
It gets to the last line and says;
configure: error: Please specify the install prefix of iconv with --with-iconv=<DIR>
Where should I set the <DIR> for the iconv?
Just make another folder and point it at that?
I am only trying to get the mongo pecl installed.
The information I have followed is here http://www.lullabot.com/blog/article/installing-php-pear-and-pecl-extensions-mamp-mac-os-x-107-lion
Wait wait wait wait. Why are you rebuilding your PHP installation to install the MongoDB driver?
You don't have to do that.
Just run e.g.:
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.1.1/bin/pecl install mongo
Assuming thats the full path to the pecl command part of your MAMP installation.
You might need to replace /php7.1.1/ with your current and active MAMP php version.
Working on this right now and found a workaround to just disable iconv with ./configure --without-iconv which not the best solution of course, but works for me.
Edit: Downloaded libiconv-1.14 package, and after running ./configure , make, make install, PHP configure runs fine.
This did it for me:
$ ./configure --with-iconv=/usr/lib/
First needed to install libxml2 and libxslt via homebrew though:
$ brew install libxml2
$ brew install libxslt

I am using the bundles Apache server with PHP 5.3.4.
Does anyone know how to install the intl extension?
Have you thought about using MAMP instead? It generally works better than Apple's bundled packages.
I've installed Zend Server CE and everything works 100%.
I removed Zend Server CE later on, and used this instead:
http://php-osx.liip.ch/ which is specifically built for Mac OSX 10.6, and Symfony2 in mind.
This worked better for me in the end, as I'm a Netbeans user, this means I can use xdebug bundled with the liip distribution.
I found it a bit cumbersome getting xdebug installed on Zend Server CE, and also, the liip PHP installation doesn't install an additional Apache and MySQL, it uses what is already included with the OS.
Try installing autoconf
brew install autoconf
Regards
This might be an old post, but for me, I found the easiest option was to install PHP using the liip service (http://php-osx.liip.ch/). Using one simple command, it installed the latest version of PHP, configured it with the existing apache server installed on my mac all along with the intl extension. A number of hours frustration solved in a couple of minutes!
