WampServer

Hi, I upgraded my WampServer because I noticed that php 5.4.x was now being pushed for production use on our linux distro and the website I develop had some trouble with it (e.g. new reserved names, etc.).

I use WampServer to be able to be up and running in a couple of minutes, but it is far from this now (and I would probably have the same problems with custom installation).

In the extension we use, there is the PECL HTTP extension.

I noticed in this forum that some people sign with PHP 5.4.8, etc. I wonder if they/you are running it. I was wondering if anyone here use PHP 5.4.8 and most importantly found or compiled extra extension (like the PECL HTTP one, aka php_http.dll). And if so, can you guys guide me to where to get the correct files.

It is at least doable as I see this guy has done it (PHP 5.4.8, x64, w/ http extension, etc.): [x64.elijst.nl]
I think he is compiling his own version. I will try to contact him to see. I will report if I find a solution.

I wished to find everything ready to eat, but it is unfortunately not as trivial and might get mad enough to find out how to compile everything... Not counting the problem with Pyrus (which is supposed to be better than old pear manager), etc. PHP ecosystem on Windows need some help to make it as easy as it should be. ;-)

P.S. Yes, I tried looking at [www.anindya.com] ; but they do not have the http extension for PHP 5.4.x (or I am just blind) and the 5.3 extension does not work.

P.P.S. I do not care much about having the latest 5.4.x, but if I cannot get the extension I need running, then I cannot really develop on Windows as I want. Well for now, I might just create a substitute for the functions that does not work for now (e.g. if (!function_exists('http_redirect')) { function http_redirect() {...} }), but that is not the path I wanted to follow.

use 32bit ...?

Well Steven, I won't mind doing this (and I don't mind x86 vs x64 for development), but I am back to the same problem... is there a downloadable php_http.dll available for PHP 5.4.x x86? ;-)

I am sure it is doable like the phpinfo I pointed to. But I have not stumbled across this extension downloadable in the usual sources. Either I did not look correctly, or it is not available in this form currently and if so the last solution I see, to get this to work, is to figure out how to compile everything myself or beg someone who did it to provide me a build.
