Its windows I guess (from c:\xampp\php). So pecl would not work as it compiles the extension and for it needs, a c compiler, php headers and other stuff.

The easiest way is to download a prebuilt dll and add it to your extensions dir. I have also installed xampp on my win dev machine and done the same thing.

Grab the appropriate dll from http://downloads.php.net/pierre/
For PHP 5.3 php_apc-3.1.5-5.3-vc6-x86.zip

DO NOT GET the nts version

If you have the latest version of XAMPP you would need the PHP 5.3 one

extract the dll to c:\xampp\php\ext directory
then add following line to your php.ini which is under c:\xampp\php 

extension=php_apc.dll

Note: This workd fine with XAMPP 1.7.4, but does not work with XAMPP 1.7.3 . There is a bundled php_apc.dll (version 3.1.3p) which works just fine. SO which XAMPP version do you have ? (you get the version when you open localhost in your browser

  • I unable to find php_apc-3.1.5-5.3-vc6-x86.zip file.it takes me to 404 – Gowri May 16 '12 at 12:40
  • @gowri it seems Pierre is only hosting the latest version now which is built on VC9, which wont be compatible with old versions of XAMPP (before 1.7.7) which has PHP built from VC6. So for now I'd say either try to use the latest `php_apc-3.1.10-5.3-vc9-x86.zip` from the downloads page and see if it works or stick with the one provided with XAMPP – danishgoel May 16 '12 at 14:38
