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

I've tried a lot of things given over the internet to setup SAPRFC in Windows but they all are talking about PHP 5.2 version but everyone knows that we are using PHP 5.x nowadays.
I'm running Xampp server where my PHP version is 5.4.4 and I need to communicate with SAP server through PHP script. I've tried the procedure of copying librfc.dll in system32 folder and php_saprfc.dll in php/ext folder and also modification of php.ini but it doesn't help me.
I have to following instructions:
Installation:
Extract zip file saprfc-$VERSION$-$PHP_VERSION$.zip
Copy php-saprfc.dll to your extensions directory (e.g. C:\PHP\extensions)
Edit php.ini file (in windows system directory, e.g. C:\WINNT, C:\WINDOWS) and add line: 'extension=php_saprfc.dll'
Copy librfc32.dll (from SAPGUI install CD) to the Windows system directory or simple install SAPGUI on your machine.
Compilation:
Extract php sources to C:\PHP-x.y.z
Extract php win support files to C:\PHP-x.y.z\win32
Install RFCSDK to C:\PHP-x.y.z\rfcsdk
Copy SAPRFC sources to C:\PHP-x.y.z\ext\saprfc
Copy php4ts.lib or php5ts.lib (from PHP binaries) to C:\PHP-x.y.z\win32
For PHP5 copy saprfc.dsp5 to saprfc.dsp
Open project C:\PHP-x.y.z\ext\saprfc\saprfc.dsp in Microsoft Visual C++ 6.
Under Tools|Option|Directory set path for Include files and for Library files:
(C:\PHP-x.y.z\win32\include; C:\PHP-x.y.z\rfcsdk\include;
C:\PHP-x.y.z\win32\lib; C:\PHP-x.y.z\rfcsdk\lib)
Set active configuration to "saprfc - Windows_TS" (under Build menu)
Build php_saprfc.dll.
Compiled DLL you find in C:\PHP-x.y.z\Release_TS directory
But I'm not getting the compilation part.
The newest version is from 2009 and can be found here. For newer PHP versions you have to compile the extension yourself (at least the docs say so). Seems like the devs didn't make the jump to the newer versions because of the compiler needed. In the compilation docs it still says Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. AFAIK modern PHP uses 9.0. So you propably need to tinker a bit with it. Or you might ask in the SAP forums if someone did the necessary work already.
You can download precompiled version here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/saprfcsapnwrfc/files/
Today I have tried to install imagick in my xampp a hundred times. And I did it. If you have troubles, please try following these steps:
Since xampp is x86, check if your Image Magick (the program) is x86. If not, download the latest version here: imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows
Please remember that u MUST download the Win32 dynamic at 16 bits-per-pixel.
Install Image Magick at C:\imagemagick.
Download the latest stable version of imagick here: . You MUST download the 5.x Thread Safe (TS) x86. The x in 5.x is the version of your PHP.
Put the php_imagick.dll in php/ext folder of your xampp installation.
Add this in your php.ini: extension=php_imagick.dll
Here is when I have a lot of trouble. If you try to start the server (or writing php in the console (start->cmd)), you will get an error. If that error says something like this: Unable to find the entry point for the procedure FlattenImages in the DLL CORE_RL_magick.dll it means that you're well underway.
Now, you must go into the installation folder of Image Magick and overwrite the DLL you downloaded with the php_imagick.dll. All of them start with the prefix CORE_RL_.
Once you overwrote all of them, you can try writing php in the windows console. I don't say something means that the imagick is functional (you can check in localhost/xampp/ > phpinfo() link. Personally, I had to install a new DLL: vcomp110.dll.
If someone has the same error as me (the system can't found the vcomp11.dd) download it here
Now, if you try executing php on console, or just initializing the apache module of xampp, you should not have errors.
Goodbye and hope I can help someone.
EDIT: when tried to convert some-img.bmp some-result.jpg in the console, I had this error:
convert.exe: unable to open module file 'C:\Users\my-acc\.magick\IM_MOD_RL_BMP_.dll': No such file or directory # ...
This happened when there is no folder .magick in my-acc. The thing you need to do is this:
Create a folder named .magick in the my-acc folder. Since the name starts with a stop, you need to create it through the console. Here are the commands:
1.1. c:
1.2. cd Users\my-acc
1.3. mkdir .magick
Go to C:\imagemagick\modules\coders and copy the entire files into the latest folder created.
Now, you will be able to use Image Magick through the commands or the PHP Classes.
On background, if you use Codeigniter, i have no idea how to use the image_lib with imagick. So, it's better with the own imagick classes. Here a simple example:
$image = new Imagick($upload_data['full_path']);
$image->thumbnailImage(250,0);
if($image->writeImage($upload_data['file_path'].$upload_data['raw_name'].'_thumb'.$upload_data['file_ext'])){
something here;
}
$image->clear();
This answer might be extremely naive, but, I've found that getting things done in Windows is generally too painful. Many people agree with that and have found solace in a tool known as "chocolatey".
First, install chocolatey on your Windows machine (super easy install instructions):
https://chocolatey.org/
Then, use chocolatey to install everything else that you need (imagemagick in this case):
https://chocolatey.org/packages/imagemagick
I suspect you might have to do some minor tweaking to configuration files after that, plus handle all of the "Windows permissions" needed to get things to work smoothly. Permissions are can be as simple (and not necessarily safe) as "full control" to some user, plus activating inheritance and overwriting all children's settings to use inheritance.
In short, install, configure, permissions, go.
PS. This answer might be incomplete/prototypical/experimental, since I don't run codeigniter, php, imagemagick on Windows.
This how-to of Winderfind is wonderful, but for me it was not yet complete to troubleshoot all problems. First of all, have a look at this tutorial:
http://hrt0kmt.hatenablog.com/entry/2015/05/27/170608
Secondly I discovered that not all versions of ImageMagick will work with all versions of php_imagick.dll. Check out my and others answers on this post for further troubleshooting:
ImageMagick supported formats no value
Great tutorial,
If you are running windows 11, and installing xampp with php 8.1, you need to install 64bit versions:
Win32 dynamic at 16 bits-per-pixel
Becomes
Win64 dynamic at 16 bits-per-pixel
And
5.x Thread Safe (TS) x86
Becomes
8.1 Thread Safe (TS) x64
If you've installed the 32bit versions (as I did), you can just download the 64bit versions and overwrite all the files. Then restart apache and it should start working.
I have downloaded PHP extension files from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffmpeg-php/
There are lots of files in the package. I want to know that how can I use this as a PHP Extension. I thought they will provide .dll files as other extension. But in this case there are lots of file,
I am running on windows 7, PHP 5.2.9, Apache 2.2.15
Any help would be appreciated.
The files you downloaded are the source code for ffmpeg-php. They need to be compiled and since you're on Windows, that might not be that simple.
Instead, follow these instructions: http://ironlasso.com/install_ffmpeg-php_windows.html. The link include a link to a pre-complied version which will make your life a whole lot easier.
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.

I am trying to install PHP onto my development box (XP SP3 / IIS 5.1) I've got PHP 5.2.6 stable downloaded (the MSI installer package) and I am getting an error "Cannot find httpd.conf". After that the install seems to breeze by quickly (more quickly than I would have expected) and when I try to execute a simple PHP script from my localhost test directory that I created, I get a slew of missing DLL errors. I have seen posts out there which indicate that its possible and has been done. I dont see any bug reports for this MSI at PHP.NET support. Any ideas?
Not sure if you already have this but I use WAMP from http://www.wampserver.com/en
It's easy and simple to set up, it has an icon in the system tray to show that its active and you can make it go online or available to the outside by clicking the icon and setting it. I used this when I was first learning PHP since it has everything in one, no need to setup any other service like IIS.
Probably the installer didn't configure your server to use PHP properly. Check out Microsoft's page on enabling PHP on IIS or alternatively switch to Apache if that's a viable option.
I'll see if I can remember it correctly:
Unzip PHP zip file into c:\Program Files\php (or run the installer)
Copy php5ts.dll into c:\windows\system32
Copy php.ini.dist into c:\windows and rename it to php.ini
Edit c:\windows\php.ini and look for extension dir - make it point to c:\Program Files\php\extensions (or wherever you put it)
This is where my memory gets fuzzy: Edit your IIS application settings, add a script map for .php files, and set the executable to php5ts.dll
Profit!?!??!?!
