Missing libmcrypt.dll?

PHP
1

Hi,

After having trouble with bundled installers I decided to install and configure my dev environment by hand.

I installed, iis 7, mysql and php. All are working ok as far as I can tell.
Now I’m trying to install phpmyadmin however and it tells me I need the extension phpmcrypt. I edited the php.ini file to activate it, but it turns out I’m missing the libmcrypt.dll file.
Every thread I found on google just tells me I need to copy it from the php directory, however it’s not in there. I just downloaded php again and both the zip and the installer don’t have this dll file, so there’s nothing for me to copy to windows.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks

You do not need to copy or more any dll from PHP to Windows or anything like that. If you are using PHP 5.3 + there is no DLL. You should be using 5.3 anyways.

For IIS 7, download PHP 5.3 VC9 Non Thread Safe, and setup IIS to use FastCGI.
