Any chance of a vc9 compile of php in XAMPP

Was wondering what the chance of getting a vc9 compiled version of php in XAMPP, I need to run scripts that use ImageMagick but can only find the vc9 dll by Mikko. Using the vc9 version throws an error with the vc6 version of php included with XAMPP, so I was wondering if there was a vc9 version of XAMPP or if there were plans to compile a vc9 version.

To me it seems like it would be easier and make more sense to find a vc9 version of php in XAMPP than to continue searching for a vc6 version of php_imagick.dll since most devs can no longer compile under vc6 or get a program that does.

I just need ImageMagcik to work with 1.7.2 version of XAMPP for Windows ...

Just a quetsion:
You have solved your problem, or you still need a imagick (ImageMagick) extension for PHP 5.3.x?

i don't know if chaosX was able to solve his problem, but i would really appreciate a vc6 build of php_imagick, because without it i would have to uninstall xampp and install all the stuff (apache, php, mysql) separately, that means pointless work and no more xampp for me...

why is it such a problem to compile a vc9 version of php in xampp? are there some strong dependencies with some little superspecial thing, or what?

I also need vc9 (I think) for using it with mongoDB, which comes in VC8 and VC9 flavors...

Agreed, vc9 should be a priority. For imagemagick it's crucial. I don't need to spend hours working around limitations.

I'm completely agree that xampp should be compiled using VC9 since everyone is slowly moving to VC9 and less binaries remain in VC6...
I've also came across this problem because of GraphicsMagick (fork of ImageMagick) but it seems that also other extensions suffer from this issue

You can't simply compile PHP with VC9 and have it work, Apache would also have to be a VC9 compile.

And, I think there are other dependency considerations on the host machine side.

just my observations
