Loading php extension in windows 10 fails

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I'm trying to install the APC OPCache. After downloading the file php_apc.dll to the ext subfolder I added the following line to the php.ini:

[PHP]
...
extension=php_apc.dll

[apc]
apc.enabled=1

When I now start the apache server I get the following warning in my PHP Log:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\\xampp\\php\\ext\\php_apc.dll'

When I open the path C:\xampp\php\ext I see the file php_apc.dll ... there are no spaces in the filename. Also I wrote a test script and in fact e.g. the function apc_add(...) is not defined.

My specs:

• APC dll v3.1.13 (32 bit)
• PHP v 7.0.6
• Apache 2.4 (32 bit)
• Windows 10 Home 64 Bit

My user is local administrator and has full access to all folders and files in the PHP folder.

I can post the full php -i output if you want as well (or provide a download to a txt).

Thanks in advance.
