How to install extensions not included on PHP 5.6? GDlib, DOM, MCrypt


I've recently installed PHP, Apache and MySQL on a windows server 2012. I have everything working and I already have a website up and running on the server.

In the next few weeks I will be transferring a new site on this server however this new sites requires extensions not currently installed on PHP 5.6, they are as follows:

  • GDlib
  • DOM
  • MCrypt

How do I go about installing these extensions on PHP?

This was my first time installing a WAMP server, still trying to figure things out

Thanks in advanced


Solution

  • I am not sure what version of PHP you are moving from but if you check the changelogs for PHP I think you will find that mcrypt and DOM are part of the PHP Core now and GD1 has been replaced wih GD2 which should also be active by default in WAMPServer

    If it is not then it can be turned on using the wampmanager menus

    wampmanager -> PHP -> Extensions -> php_gd2
