This <a href="http://pecl.php.net/" class="link external">» PECL</a> extension
is not bundled with PHP.
</p>
<p class="para">
Information for installing this PECL extension may be
found in the manual chapter titled <a href="install.pecl.html" class="link">Installation
of PECL extensions</a>. Additional information such as new releases,
downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be
located here:
<a href="http://pecl.php.net/package/wincache" class="link external">» http://pecl.php.net/package/wincache</a>.
</p>
<p class="para">
There are two packages for this extension: one package is for PHP versions 5.2.X,
and the other package is for PHP 5.3.X. Select the package that is appropriate for
the PHP version being used.
</p>
<p class="para">
To install and enable the extension, follow these steps:
</p>
<div class="procedure">
<ol type="1"><li>
<p class="simpara">
Unpack the package into some temporary location.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p class="simpara">
Copy the <var class="filename">php_wincache.dll</var> file into the PHP extensions folder.
Typically this folder is called "ext" and it is located in the same folder with all
PHP binary files. For example: <var class="filename">C:\Program Files\PHP\ext</var>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p class="simpara">
Using a text editor, open the php.ini file, which is usually located in the
same folder where all PHP binary files are. For example:
<var class="filename">C:\Program Files\PHP\php.ini</var>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p class="simpara">
Add the following line at the end of the php.ini file:
<em>extension = php_wincache.dll</em>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p class="simpara">
Save and close the <var class="filename">php.ini</var> file.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p class="simpara">
Recycle the IIS Application Pools for PHP to pick up the configuration changes.
To check that the extension has been enabled, create a file called
<var class="filename">phpinfo.php</var> with a PHP code that calls
<a href="function.phpinfo.html" class="link">phpinfo</a> function.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p class="simpara">
Save the <var class="filename">phpinfo.php</var> file in the root folder of a
IIS web site that uses PHP, then open a browser and make a request to
http://localhost/phpinfo.php. Search within the returned web page
for a section called <em>wincache</em>. If the extension
is enabled, then the <a href="function.phpinfo.html" class="link">phpinfo</a>
output will list the configuration settings provided by the WinCache.
</p>
</li>
</ol></div>
<blockquote class="note"><p><strong class="note">Note</strong>:
<span class="simpara">
Do not forget to remove <var class="filename">phpinfo.php</var> file from the web site's root folder after verifying that extension has been enabled.
</span>
