How to install V8J for PHP on XAMPP for Windows?

Question

For several days, we tried to find an easy way to install V8J on XAMPP for Windows, but without success.

I downloaded the latest version of XAMPP from PHP version 7.2.0 VC15 and followed the instructions in this blog post - https://blog.xenokore.com/how-to-install-v8js-for-php-on-windows/ - but to no avail . I do not see mention for V8Js in phpinfo, and when I try to use it, I get ERROR

Error: Class 'V8Js' not found in... 

I downloaded the dll files from here - https://blog.xenokore.com/how-to-install-v8js-for-php-on-windows/ - and used the latest version 7.2.1 VC15 x86 ts without success.

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

You need to download the captured php version from here https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=6359

Then move php_v8js.dll from php\ext to the same directory on your local computer.

But with 5 additional files from the php root directory, you need to go to your apache\bin instead

• icui18n.dll
• icuuc.dll
• v8.dll
• v8_libbase.dll
• v8_libplatform.dll

Make sure it is in your php.ini by adding the following line:

 extension=php_v8js.dll 

Then try restarting apache or checking with the php -m command, have fun.
