缺少php_yaml.dll文件

Question

I'm using XAMPP with PHP 5.5.27 PHP and Windows 10 (x64). I'm triyng to install the YAML extention. Link from other topic is dead so I dowloaded files version PHP 5.5, x64, TS and NTS. I placed file php_yaml.dll into c:\\xampp\\php\\ext and yaml.dll files into c:\\xampp\\ . Then I added entry extension=php_yaml.dll just after extension=php_xsl.dll (as last entry of Dynamic Extensions. At the end I restarted Apache.

Result is:

phpinfo() doesn't display info about YAML extention.

You want the Thread Safe(TS) version and as to 32/64bit it should match your XAMPP version rather than your OS version so if you have a 32bit XAMPP you need the 32bit php_yaml.dll Also you should only need to place it in the c:\\xampp\\php\\ext folder

Also remember that there are 2 php.ini files. One in the c:\\xampp\\apache\\bin folder that Apache uses and one in c:\\xampp\\php\\php.ini , it is this one that controls PHP's config when being used from the CLI (Command Line Interface) So you also need to add the extension=php_yaml.dll to this php.ini file as well if you want command line PHP to load this extension.

To check which php.ini file is being loaded in the CLI do this from the command line

php -ini | more

Look for this entry

Loaded Configuration File => D:\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.15\php.ini

Check that yours says something sensible for your system
