WampServer

Hi,

I'm trying to add the latest php7 (7.0.0RC8) to the new Wampserver 3.0.0. I see in Otomatic's footer that he is running that combination. Otomatic - could you share your settings to make this work? I know there will eventually be an installer, but just basic instructions would be really handy for the mean time.

I tried following this tutorial - [blog.saiashirwad.com] - but even after setting everything up the new version is not showing in the system tray popup menu for php versions. I'm guessing it's because of changes in Wampserver 3.0.0?

Thank you!

Hi,

There will be an "add on" Wampserver 3.0.0 PHP 7.0.0, but only when PHP 7.0.0 will be officially released.

For PHP 7, Apache does not load does not load php5apache2_4.dll but php7apache2_4.dll, so wampserver.conf in php7 folder must be :

<?php

$phpConf['phpIniDir'] = '.';
$phpConf['phpExeDir'] = '.';
$phpConf['phpConfFile'] = 'php.ini';

//PHP 7 needs Apache 2.4.x and doesn't works with Apache 2.2.x
//and php7_module, not php5_module
$phpConf['apache']['2.4']['LoadModuleName'] = 'php7_module';
$phpConf['apache']['2.4']['LoadModuleFile'] = 'php7apache2_4.dll';
$phpConf['apache']['2.4']['AddModule'] =  '';

?>

Note : Wampserver 3.0.0 is ready to support PHP 7.

Thank you, that helped.
Just a note - you said to put it in "wampmanager.conf" but it's really "wampserver.conf". Just a typo, but wanted to warn anyone following these instructions.

Hi,

Yes, it was a typo, it is wamp/bin/php/php7.0.0rc8/wampserver.conf.
So I will not speak of this point in the procedure which can only function with WampServer 3.0.0.

It is absolutely imperative to download archives Thread Safe and never NTS archives.
http://windows.php.net/downloads/qa/php-7.0.0RC8-Win32-VC14-x86.zip

I done and I write this procedure in real time.
WARNING: my installation is in J:\wamp and to avoid nonsense, I will not change it in this procedure. So, for you, modify according to your installation.

- Create a folder J:/wamp/bin/php/php7.0.0rc8/
- Unzip archive downloaded into this folder.
- Put the file wampserver.conf (as in previous message) in this folder.
- Copy the file php.ini-development with the new name php.ini
- Edit the file php.ini
- Replace

max_execution_time = 30

by

max_execution_time = 120

- Copy this modified php.ini file under the name phpForApache.ini (Respect the case)

You may add at the beginning of the php.ini file (not into phpForApache.ini)

; **************************************************************

Launch Wampserver.
Switch PHP version :
- Wampmanager Icon -> PHP -> Version -> 7.0.0rc8

I just do exactly this and Wampserver returns green after switching to PHP 7.0.0rc8.
It's going a hundred times faster to do than write.
