If anyone can tell me how I can get a good, working, mcrypt.dll compiled so that PHP is installed with the mcrypt extension working in Windows as it does in Linux etc then then I may think about becoming a monk or something.

I believe you need cygwin or something to compile it - if you have a step by step guide how to do this or someone has a pre-compiled dll then that would be amazing and I would be forever in someone's debt 😃

Anyone????
TIA

    Have a look at http://php4win.de - they're back online after more than 5 months off - so better download as much as you can.

    Somebody should continue that project as it's much needed.

      Man !

      Ive waited for this for sooooo long - thanks for letting me know the URL is back online - cheers a milion

        Do you succeded in installing mcrypt? I downloaded the dll's from php4win but when i launch Apache it doesn't load php_mcrypt. An annoyng pop-up says something's wrong.

        I put libmcrypt.dll and libltdl.dll in che system directory and now the Apache message is different but it doesn't load the same.

          Yeah i downloaded the latest build they have on php4win.de homepage and got php installed, loaded the extensions for mcrypt ok but i got so many errors and phpinfo wouldnt load properly when the mcrypt part of it loaded up that I sent an email to the guys there who run the site and they told me they didnt support mcrypt and that was pretty much that so sod it, Im movin away from Windoze and building a linux box - cant be bothered when nobody wants to help out.

            I've just recently try this very thing. Error everywhere. In the end I just copied all of the mcrypt.dll's (algorithms & modes) and all of the php dlls into the windows/windows32 dir and it worked fine. No errors 😉

              What version of Windoze are u using and does the phpinfo.php display correctly and show the mcrypt modules installed?

                Ahh, nah. Scrap my previous post. Although php doesn't bring up errors. Php crashes when a mcrypt command is executed. Failure hurts. Win2000, Apache, Php CGI hummm.😕

                  hi all

                  i've tried on apache 1.3.22, php 4.1.2. start the apache has no problem but when run mcrypt command, apache crash! i've tried to copy the mcrypt related dll to winnt\system32 already.

                  if use php4.2.2, the apache with with error, e.g. can't form ./php_mcrypt.dll, but i've config the extension_dir to that dir already.

                  anyone successfully install apache, php with mcrypt and mhash lib? pls advice.
