How to enable geoip extension in php or apache in the latest XAMPP with Apache/2.4.27 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.0.2l PHP/7.1.8 mod_perl/2.0.8-dev Perl/v5.16.3 ?

Thanks

If there is no geoip extension delivered with Xampp, you cannot enable or add it on yourself. You have to ask Bitnami kindly to add that package to Xampp. Alternatively you should not use Xampp, install Apache/MySQL/PHP from your Linux repository of your distribution and then follow the installation description from http://php.net/manual/en/geoip.installation.php

As long as Xampp is NOT part of any linux distribution / repository, you cannot extend Xampp via standard repositories. That is a big disadvantage of using Xampp.
