configuration - Enable LDAP on Xampp Windows

Question

I want to enable LDAP module on my XAMPP Windows 10, here's the few solutions that I've tried :

1. Copy dll files to System and System32 and uncomment extension=php_ldap.dll in php.ini, both development and production.
2. Copy libsasl.dll to xampp/apache/bin

None of these working, when I opened phpinfo() there is no ldap info showing, which means the ldap hasn't been able to installed. I also added PHP in Windows Path with no success, but either my approach is wrong or that wasn't a solution. Any help appreciated.

1. Make sure the pathoxamppphp directory has the following files

   • libeay32.dll
   • libsasl.dll
   • ssleay32.dll

Usually, you can find these files in pathoxamppsendmail - this library also uses them. But if not, try to search for them inside the xampp directory.

2. Uncomment or add the ldap extension in the php.ini (pathoxamppphpphp.ini) file

   extension=ldap
   

3. Restart the server

4. Make sure the pathoxamppphp directory is set in the system environment variable PATH. To know how to do it, see this post.
