Setup Mcrypt

[DaveShaw]

I Have BadBlue PHP Enabled Web Server Running PHP Version 4.0.7 Win 32 Version Downloaded From Snaps.php.net. I have windows 98 Running. I have downloaded A *.ZIP php Mcrypt Library and a *.ZIP Php mcrypt File - Both Win32. I cannot find any documentation on how to get the PHP.exe to use the mcrypt en/decryption modules can anyone help me Plz???

Thanx Dave Shaw.

if these libraries you downloaded are true PHP modules/extensions/libraries, you have to dynamically load them into your scripts.

Place the mcrypt/mhash stuff into your extensions folder under the php folder (c:\php\extensions).

NOTE: THE PHP PACKAGE FOR WINDOWS SHOULD HAVE ALREADY COME WITH THE MCRYPT LIBRARY! IF YOU DON'T SEE THE PHP_MCRYPT.DLL IN THE EXTENSIONS FOLDER, YOU NEED TO CONTACT THE PEOPLE WHO DISTRIBUTED THE VERSION OF PHP YOU HAVE AND CHEW THEM OUT.

Once you have the php_mcrypt.dll or whatever else the name of the library is, you have to load it into your script(s):

dl("extensions/php_mcrypt.dll"

or

dl("php_mcrypt.dll"

depending on your php.ini configuration.

If you got this far, you are ready to use mcrypt for encrypting/decrypting your strings/data.

If you need help using mcrypt, say so and I will be happy to assist. It is very simple.

currv,

I assume you are on Win32? If so, you should download PHP from

http://www.php.net.

The wind32 version of PHP comes with all of the dlls required for you to include in your scripts.

If you are not on Win32, but on Linux or some derivative thereof, go to ftp://mcrypt.hellug.gr/pub/mcrypt/libmcrypt to download the libmcrypt stuff (be sure to read ALL documentation. Installation can be tricky). libmcrypt has to be installed before you compile PHP because when you run ./configure to build PHP, you do '--with-mcrypt=/path/to/mcrypt/installation --disable-posix-threads'

I Do not have the PHP_Mcrypt.dll File. Can someone please post it on a web site and give me instructions on what to do with it. i only have PHP 4.0.6 Now.
I Have IQC - # 124043300, MSN Viper1777@hotmail.com and Yahoo Skill_1584@yahoo.com plz let me know.

Thanx Dave

Viper,

When you get the file, all you do is copy it to your extensions directory and then edit your php.ini file.
Remove the ; infront of ;extension=php_mcrypt.dll. Also make sure extension_dir points correctly to your extensions location. Mine looks like this:
extension_dir = d:\php\extensions

Hope this helps ######## CtN ########

Viper,

Chad sent me his ICQ# so he can give me php_mcrypt.dll. I do not have ICQ access at the moment. So if you want I can give you his ICQ and you can also give the file to me.

Hows that sound? ######## CtN ########

Curvv and Viper,

Here is the location on my server for the mcrypt dll for Win32:

ftp://ftp.inlandpac.com/pub/php_mcrypt.dll

Good Luck!

Chad, When I run any php script through my server it hangs and takes ages to load a simple 'Hello User' Program. I have used 2 versions of PHP_Mcrypt.dll and the same has happend again, do i need a library or other files, and if so where do i install them.

Thanx Dave Shaw.

I have the same problem as Viper.

Just with the echo phpinfo(); it takes an eternity to run.

Is there anyother way?
