Setup react/zmq on windows

I am setting up Ratchet on my system following instructions from official site I have performed the following:

  1. Downloaded and installed zeromq from the official site
  2. Followed instructions of http://zeromq.org/bindings:php for PHP bindings and copied the dll files(as the mentioned url is down, I got the dll files from [http://178.79.157.189/~mikko/win32/php-zmq-win32.zip]) 3.Made changes in php.ini file.

But when I restart the server, I get the error:

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/5.4.3/ext/php_zmq.dll' - %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Solution

  • Check out the official zeromq PHP binding. I know from experience that it will work.

    Download the extension from the PHP pecl site. Make sure that you download the right ext for your PHP distro.
