How to install amqp on windows
amqp, pear, pecl, php, rabbitmq
Solution
@ AMQP installation php.net:
Note to Windows users: This extension does not currently support Windows since the librabbitmq library does not yet support Windows.
But here at RabbitMQ website is a windows installer...
Apparently the information on the php.net page is outdated
To install do like this:
- Download the correct package for your php from this official PECL amqp page
- unzip
- add `php_amqp.dll` to your php `ext` folder and enable the extension inside your php.ini file: `extension=php_amqp.dll`
- add `rabbitmq.#.dll` to your windows system 32 folder (where # corresponds with the version number).
All this according to the post on the blog I found here.
UPDATE
I updated some of the information above. The blog post is from 2013, and only mentioning older versions, but it is anyway a nice guide to the steps you need to take. Since then newer versions are available so be aware there are some slight differences in the process (mainly version numbers) if you want to install a newer version.
Problem
I am having this error while installing `pecl/amqp` when I type in the command line: `pear install pecl/amqp` WARNING: php_bin C:\xampp\php.\php.exe appears to have a suffix .\php.exe, but config variable php_suffix does not match ERROR: The DSP amqp.dsp does not exist. I need to install this so that I can use amqp (`RabbitMQ`) on php.
