How can I install PHP extension libsodium in Wampserver?

Question

I am trying to install the Libsodium PHP extension using PECL, but I have no idea how to get the dll files needed. I want to use it with Wampserver on Windows 7 (64-bit).

Can any one help me?

Answer 1

Here is How I did it.

1. Download the libsodium from here > For PHP 7.0, For PHP 5.6 And For PHP 5.5 (All x64). #One Important Note, Please download appropriate x86-32 bit or x64-64 bit of this extension matching of your environment from here
2. Extract the Downloaded file and copy libsodium.dll to wamp->bin->php->php5(x).x.xx Folder
3. Copy php_libsodium.dll From the extracted File to wamp->bin->php->php5(x).x.xx ->ext
4. Now Click on the WAMP System tray icon.
5. Go to PHP-> PHP Settings and Click on the enable dl from the menu of the WampManager from the system tray
6. Now Add bellow line to php.ini from PHP -> php.ini from the menu of Wampmanager, save and close it

extension=php_libsodium.dll

7. Now Restart Apache or click Restart All Services from the menu of WampManager

You should now get your php_libsodium in the extensions of the php Up and Running. :)
