Installing a PHP extension on windows

Saturday, January 10th, 2009 by dreamluverz

Installing a PHP extension





On Windows, you have two ways to load a PHP extension: either compile it into PHP, or load the DLL. Loading a pre-compiled extension is the easiest and preferred way.

To load an extension, you need to have it available as a “.dll” file on your system. All the extensions are automatically and periodically compiled by the PHP Group (see next section for the download).

To compile an extension into PHP, please refer to building from source documentation.

To compile a standalone extension (aka a DLL file), please refer to building from source documentation. If the DLL file is available neither with your PHP distribution nor in PECL, you may have to compile it before you can start using the extension.

What is PECL?

PECL is a repository for PHP Extensions, providing a directory of all known extensions and hosting facilities for downloading and development of PHP extensions.

The packaging and distribution system used by PECL is shared with its sister, PEAR.

windows vista sp1

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008 by dreamluverz

I just bumped into this site about some issues of WINDOWS VISTA and wanted to share with you.

Windows Vista SP1 doesn’t work with Intel 945G Express Chipset
If you just applied Microsoft Windows Vista SP1 on your PC with an Intel 945G Express chipset, you have a problem.

That’s right Windows Vista Fans, Microsoft Windows Vista SP1 apparently has been reported to have serious compatibility issues with PC’s running the Intel 945G Express chipset. The Intel 945G Express chipset driver versions between numbers 7.14.10.1322 and 7.14.10.1403 won’t work with Vista SP1, according to Microsoft.

To make things worse, the Intel 945G Express chipset includes Intel’s GMA 950 graphics core, which also won’t work with Vista SP1 if you’re using those drivers.

HP, Lenovo, Gateway and other major computer manufacturers PC’s are affected. Some drivers utilized by Symantec products may not be compatible as well.

For a full list of drivers that won’t work with Vista SP1 you can click here.
