I even enabled the extension in php.ini and still does not want to work.

Not enough information.

What version of XAMPP?
What version of Libsodium?
Source of the libsodium library (if older than PHP 7.2)?
What did you do to "enable the extension in php.ini"?
Did you check if the extension is loaded successfully by phpinfo()?
Did you check the Apache error.log for any errors?

Latest download from the home page, PHP 7.4, sodium not loaded in phpinfo(), tried to enable it by uncommenting ;extension=sodium in php.ini and still not working.

I'm having a similar issue.

When I uncomment the following

Code: Select all

;extension=sodium

Apache runs, sets the sockets etc, then exits within a couple of seconds. Error log does not display anything to do with Sodium.

The library exists xampp_7.3.2\php\ext\.

'Sodium' is listed as a module in phpinfo() -- but obviously that's when it's not loaded, as Apache closes when it tries to load.

In \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf

Find:
LoadFile "/xampp/php/php7ts.dll"
LoadFile "/xampp/php/libpq.dll"
LoadModule php7_module "/xampp/php/php7apache2_4.dll"


Add:
LoadFile "/xampp/php/libsodium.dll"

Fix the issue for my work colleague. But strangely, my PC, which is the same configuration as his, did not require the libsodium to be explicitly specified, it just loaded after I uncommented "extension=sodium" in the php.ini.

I had the same problem with XAMPP v3.3.0 and PHP 8.0.7

I enabled ext=sodium in php.ini, then add in my composer.json "ext-sodium": "*", in require section, but the only thing that made the library work was your suggestion.
