Edit: If you downloaded the 7.4apha1 WinCache bits before 2019-06-17 23:00 UTC, and you're getting an error like:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Can't load module 'C:\Program Files\PHP\v7.4\ext\php_wincache.dll' as it's linked with 14.21, but the core is linked with 14.20 in Unknown on line 0
This has been fixed with a new package. The file name and version is the same, so you'll have to re-download & extract.
I've used in (after a short local test on my machine) for 14 hours now on our production server (uses the session-cache and lots of user-cache, plus the usual file-cache and resolve-cache) and zero problems so far. Everything looks healthy etc. Great job!
You can put it anywhere. In the default .ini files (the php.ini-production and php.ini-developement), all the extension=* directives are grouped together. Just add it to the end of that list.
As far as I know, the '[<block>]' entries are purely advisory, and don't really affect things. I'm guessing it's probably used by some .ini aware text editors, but most people use (notepad/vi/vim/emacs/text-editor-of-your-choice).
<div>Hi,
I have tried to download it via Web Platform Installer.</div> <div>It automatically installs also PHP 7.3.1 even I'm using newer version 7.3.6.</div> <div>Why is PHP
7.3.6 missing in Web Installer?
I assume that WinCache is also compatible with php 7.3.6?
thnx
S</div>
The most recent version I see in WPI GUI and with the commandline is from 7/5/2018 for PHP 7.2. As a matter of fact I see nothing related to PHP 7.3 at all for Server 2016 including PHP itself.
It seems that the latest PHP version of 7.3.8 does NOT work with 2.0.0.8 version of WinCache. I've tried many different things and nothing works. 7.2.21 with WinCache for 7.2.X works just fine but PHP 7.3.8 with WinCache 7.3.X (IE 2.0.0.8) does NOT work.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Actually I got it working. Totally my fault. Turns out I obviously was doing something wrong. Not sure what. I cleared out everything and tried again after Anamera said it worked and got it working. Sorry again for the post and thank you again for keeping
WinCache update to date with the latest versions of PHP!
I also installed WinCache 2.0.0.8 x64 alpha1 for PHP 7.4 and I can confirm that it is not loaded.
When I check loaded extensions with
php -r "print_r(get_loaded_extensions());"
it tells me:
php.exe - Entry Point Not Found
---------------------------
The procedure entry point php_error_docref0 could not be located in the dynamic link library ***pathtophp74***\ext\php_wincache.dll.
Running Server 2016 IIS 10 and PHP 7.4.1 x64 and when I try and load WinCache (looking in php-cgi.exe) I get the following error:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'php_wincache.dll' (tried: c:\Program Files\PHP 7.4.1 x64\ext\php_wincache.dll (The specified procedure could not be found.), c:\Program Files\PHP 7.4.1 x64\ext\php_php_wincache.dll.dll (The specified

procedure could not be found.)) in <b>Unknown</b> on line <b>0</b><br />
I noticed the 2nd message filename doesnt look right, extra php & dll in the name. I tried taking a copy of the php_wincache.dll file and naming it to php_php_wincache.dll.dll and having the 2 files there but that made no difference. I even made sure the
files were present by verifying the paths in PowerShell.
As other users have mentioned WinCache for PHP 7.4.1 does not load. The error in the PHP log file is "The specified procedure could not be found.". Any update on when this will be fixed?
I'm also missing WinCache compatibility with PHP 7.4.1 nts.
The problem could be related to this statement (from windows.php.net):
We used Visual Studio 2019 to build the early releases of PHP 7.4 (up to and including 7.4.0beta2). And although Visual Studio 2019 is generally an improvement over Visual Studio 2017, due to compatibility issues we have decided to switch back to Visual
Studio 2017 for our PHP 7.4 builds, and we are planning to stick with this for the complete lifetime of PHP 7.4.
It could definitely be the root of the problem - it was compiled with another Visual Studio. Could anyone try to just recompile?
Any idea when the Web Platform Installer version will be released for PHP 7.4 x64? In WPI, it is published but the link is wrong, as the file does not exist - https://sourceforge.net/projects/wincache/files/wincache-2.0.0/wincachewpi-2.0.0.8-7.4-nts-vc15-x64.exe/download

[Pre-Release] WinCache for PHP 7.3 and PHP 7.4alpha1

Hello,
where should I add this line in php.ini
extension = php_wincache.dll
Last lines in php.ini are
[PHP_MBSTRING]
extension=php_mbstring.dll
[PHP_OPENSSL]
extension=php_openssl.dll
[PHP_SOAP]
extension=php_soap.dll
[PHP_XMLRPC]
extension=php_xmlrpc.dll
I guess "extension = php_wincache.dll" shouldn't belong to "[PHP_XMLRPC]"?
thank you for any suggestion

Yes, it's compiled for all 7.3 versions.
I'm not entirely sure. I'll ask the WebPI feed folks who owns updating the PHP builds.

The "official" WinCache site has yet to be updated:
IIS.net Downloads Link
for people who manage their system without the WebPI.
(PS: I actually had tried to get wepipcmd last month, but never succeeded to download the build that way.)
And as mentioned elsehwere - the entire WebPI seems frozen in time since last year, so that's not really a suitable/reliable distribution option:

Hi and thank you for your work.
I have installed wincache 7.4 alpha x64 on IIS 10.
The "PHP Administrator" sees it as "Enabled", but when I launch phpinfo() wincache doesn't shows up.
Is there an alternative way to check if it's working?
Thank you
