Install GNUPG on xampp windows

Question

I want to use PGP in my PHP project, using XAMPP on Windows.

When I run this code:

$public_key = "PGP Public Key";
$gpg = new gnupg();
$key = $gpg->import($public_key);
$gpg->addencryptkey($key['fingerprint']);
$enc = $gpg->encrypt("Hello Stackoverflow!");
$gpg->clearencryptkeys();
echo nl2br($enc);

I get an error message telling me that I have to install the GNUPG extension in my Apache server.

How do I install GNUPG for XAMPP on Windows? I only found solutions for Linux.

Answer 1

You need to add libgpgme-11.dll, php_gnupg.dll, libgpg-error.dll

Extensions pack to your php.ini configuration file

Answer 2

As per the official php-gnupg repository, there's no extension for Windows yet.

The extension is not currently supported on Windows due to unavailable GpgME library builds that would be supported by PHP.
