php_ssh2.dll for PHP 5.3.1 on WinXP Pro sp3

Question

I had PHP 5.2.2 installed on a previous box (also WinXP Pro sp3) and had gotten the SSH2 extension from http://pecl4win.php.net/ext.php/php_ssh2.dll. Sadly that server seems to be out of commission for now ("The pecl4win build box is temporarily out of service. We're preparing a new build system."). The old DLL doesn't work with the new PHP, of course. I don't have MS Visual Studio.

Anyone have any idea where I can get this file for PHP 5.3.1? Or perhaps I should just roll back to PHP 5.2.2...

Thx for yr help.

Update: I should have mentioned I'm using XAMPP 1.7.3, which has Apache 2.2. So I need DLL's compiled with VC6.

Answer 1

There are two versions of lib_ssh2 on http://downloads.php.net/pierre/ :

• php_ssh2-svn20091128-5.3-nts-vc9-x86.zip
• php_ssh2-svn20091128-5.3-vc9-x86.zip

Those are VC9 versions, which means they should not be used with binaries from Apache.org (I suppose they are for IIS ? see the left column of http://windows.php.net/ about VC6 vs VC9 ) ; you didn't say which web-server you were using, so maybe...
