I have simply dealt with the compilation errors introduced by moving to PHP 7.3 / Zend 3.3.0 internals. There have been no functional changes.
I have run the PHP regression test suite with WinCache enabled and disabled, and nothing crashes instantly. If you do find a reproduceable crash, please send me a code example that triggers the crash, so I can investigate.
If no issues are reported with this build, I will proceed with releasing this extension via Web Platform Installer by June 28th, 2019.
Additionally, I have a release candidate of WinCache for PHP 7.4.0alpha1:
Same deal goes for these bits as well. If you find something, let me know.
I will not create a Web Platform Installer package for WinCache for PHP 7.4 until PHP 7.4 completes its Beta cycle and is released.
My apologies for the delay in WinCache for PHP 7.3.
Thank you!

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!

[Pre-Release] WinCache for PHP 7.3 and PHP 7.4alpha1
Jun 17, 2019 07:55 PM|DropPhone|LINK
I would greatly appreciate your help in validating a potential release candidate of WinCache for PHP 7.3:
x86: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wincache/files/development/wincache-2.0.0.8-dev-7.3-nts-vc15-x86.exe
x64: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wincache/files/development/wincache-2.0.0.8-dev-7.3-nts-vc15-x64.exe

Thank you!
I've been using it under light/development load for the past week, without issues.

Excellent work! I did the WinCache installation and run a couple of tests. No problems found!

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

FYI: The public Web Platform Installer feed has been updated, and WinCache for PHP 7.3 is now available via webpicmd.
Thx!

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.
Thx!

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:

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.
Using X64 and VC15.

I've been running Winache 2.0.0.8 with 7.3 since that Wincache build came out, and also with 7.3.8 since THAT became available.
My IIS is running PHP VC15 x64 NTS (Non-Thread-Safe)
