I refereed Stackoverflow question in this link . and I followed the steps but it was also a failure.

I had these dll's in xampp/php/ext folder, I tried by putting dll's in system32 folder. I was also not working.

I am using mcrypt for password encryption and decryption. So please help me to start php with mcrypt extension.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Finally I am able to find out the solutions for the issue.

It was due to the libmcrypt.dll dependency issue , So I put the libmcrypt.dll into apache folder and restarted the apache. also I commented all the unwanted extensions so phperrorlog is clean now.

libmcrypt.dll is present in the php folder I fixed the issue by moving the dll into apache/bin folder

Now Xampp 1.8.1 is working perfectly with php 5.2.9
