how to install PHP with crypt() functionality?

[Paul]

I am testing an existing app from a linux box that uses crypt() and I need
to test it.

How do you install PHP with crypt() functionality on Windows XP? Yes, I have
googled and I can't find anything.

Thanks for any help.

Switch to Linux and it's gonna be way easier (and you'll get greater
support on Internet) :)

Anyway, in Linux, before you install php, you use "configure" tool to
select tools you want in your new php installation. So, my guess would
be that you can select crypt() functionality at setup.exe time.

Hi,

First look in php.ini for the dll you need.
Just search for something that contains crypt.
You find an extension named php_mcrypt.dll

Now google for that extension, and you'll find a lot.

Be sure you uncomment the line in php.ini, and make sure you place the dll
in the right directory with appropriate rights to read for the IIS user.

That aside: Darko was right: Go GNU/Linux instead of M$ rather sooner than
later.
