After a installing wamp, I have updated php from version 5.6.31 to version 7.2.3
LoadModule php7_module "${INSTALL_DIR}/bin/php/php7.2.3/php7apache2_4.dll"

However, the version at the top of phpinfo and in the Configuration apache2handler section says 7.1.9

I tried opening phpmyadmin (version 4.7.4), message displayed is
The mbstring extension is missing. Please check your PHP Configuration
There is no semi-colon in front of
extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension_dir ="c:/wamp64/bin/php/php7.2.3/ext/"
php_mbstring.dll is in the ext folder.

Am I missing some configuration?

Hi,

> After a installing wamp, I have updated php from version 5.6.31 to version 7.2.3
> LoadModule php7_module "${INSTALL_DIR}/bin/php/php7.2.3/php7apache2_4.dll"
Why are you showing this line?
Would you have changed the PHP version "by hand", by modifying the httpd. conf file yourself?

In the file wamp64/wampmanager.conf what are the content of lines:
- phpVersion =
- phpCliVersion =

> extension=php_mbstring.dll
What have you changed?
For PHP 7.2. x, it is not a line like this one that should be.

I changed LoadModule by hand. I displayed that line to show what it was changed to, 7.2.3, and not 7.1.9.
In wampmanager.conf, both phpVersion and phpCliVersion were 5.6.31, I have changed them to 7.2.3
As far as the ext is concerned, I only changed the ext path from 5.6.31 to 7.2.3, the extension is active by default.
I started wamp, icon is green. Clicking on the wamp icon, PHP version is 7.2.3, its 7.2.3 in localhost, but still displaying 7.1.9 in phpinfo. I now have access to phpmyadmin.

Hi,

> I changed LoadModule by hand.
Huge mistake.

By doing this, you didn't change everything that should have been changed if you changed the PHP version.
The only way to change PHP version correctly is :

Left-Click Wampmanager tray icon -> PHP -> Version -> Choose version

Of course, you must first install the addons of the required PHP versions.

But, given all the changes you've made, for example by giving paths of a PHP version in the php. ini of another version, not sure if it works properly.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Documentation Apache - Documentation PHP - Documentation MySQL - Wampserver install files & addons

I removed the older versions of php from the php folder, then chose the version as you mentioned, as there was only one version available 7.2.3, I chose it. Restarted wamp, phpinfo still displaying 7.1.9

I've also updated phpmyadmin from 4.7.4 to 4.7.9
Clicking on the wamp icon, 4.7.4 is displayed beside phpmyadmin, however, when I open phpmyadmin, its version is 4.7.9

I added php to windows path C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.2.3
then in command prompt

Same for each module.

NEVER EVER ADD the PHP folder to the windows path !!!!

See This answer on StackOverflow for how best to do this


Remember in WAMPServer you can have multiple versions of PHP available, you never want to lock yourself into only one version

Hi,

You'd better start from scratch.
With the changes you made by hand, you screwed up the files and versions of PHP.

- Uninstall Wampserver completely.

- Verify that all VC ++ packages are installed and with the latest versions.
To do this, use the tool:
Checks VC++ packages installed
And you will find all the packages on [wampserver.aviatechno.net] in section Visual C++ Redistribuable Packages
Do not forget that if you have a 64 bit Windows, you must install both 32 and 64 bit versions of each package.
You must install each package "as an administrator", so right-click the exe file and then run as Administrator.
Do not use a previously loaded tool. Make a new download to make sure you are using the correct version.

- Install Wampserver 3.1.0
- Install PHP addons you want.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Documentation Apache - Documentation PHP - Documentation MySQL - Wampserver install files & addons

I started from scratch. Installed all the necessary distributables. Re-installed wampserver. All good. I changed the phpVersion and phpCliVersion to 7.1.9 in wampmanager.conf and selected php version 7.1.9. Restarted wampserver. Clicked wamp icon, php 7.1.9. Opened localhost, php version 7.1.9, opened phpinfo, version 7.1.9, ext dir 7.1.9.
Executed php -v in cmd

for all modules.

Are these errors a config issue or something else?

Hi,

> I changed the phpVersion and phpCliVersion to 7.1.9 in wampmanager.conf and selected php version 7.1.9
NO. Except in very special cases of troubleshooting, never modify versions directly in the wampmanager. conf file.
For PHP CLI version
- Right-Click wampmanager tray icon -> Tools -> Change PHP CLI version [choose version]

For PHP "web" version
- Left-Click wampmanager tray icon -> PHP -> Version -> [choose version]

There is no problem with PHP 7.1.9 64 bit CLI and WEB on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.

The errors you have made clearly show that the loaded extensions are not the ones of the declared PHP version, which means that the php. ini used is not the one of the declared PHP version.

What is the content of the environment variable PATH?
Open a command windows as an administrator ( The word Administrator must be in the command windows title) and type:

path

For ease of copying, you can send the content directly to the clipboard by typing the command:

path | clip

Hi,

Did I put a semicolon after the PATH command?

Hi,

You have a path on a version of PHP in your PATH environment variable:

C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.1.9\;

It's to be deleted. There must be no path on a version of php in the PATH environment variable.

After deleting this superfluous path, the machine must be restarted to be taken into account.

Got it working.
