The
http://windows.php.net works fine and tells all as this address may eventually replace the old pecl4win address and would be the place to watch out for future announcements re PECL For Windows
windows.php.net wrote:PECL For WindowsPECL extensions for Windows is being worked on. The interface on the pecl website will most likely be updated to offer Windows DLL download right from that website.
In the meantime, some extensions can be found
here.
New website for PHP WindowsThe PHP Windows Development team would like to announce this new website. Here you will find information specifically related to Windows, such as downloads, snapshots and documentation.
Only the downloads are available for now.
There are no ssh2 dlls listed for VC6 x86 Thread Safe PHP 5.3 versions in the above
here link.

The
php_ssh2.dll appears not to be compatible with PHP 5.3.* and is why it is not included in versions
1.7.2> of XAMPP - usually the developers are onto the latest information when developing a new XAMPP release and will remove obsolete items as and when required - maybe a more prominent and detailed list of changes (included in the SourceForge Repository perhaps) would make more sense, but the volunteer developers, like so many of us these days, may not have enough free time that they wished they had.
For example re more detailed changes, this from version 1.7.1 and 1.7.2 archive,
xampp-changes.txt file
21. March 2009 1.7.1 Beta4
- Change php_ssh2.dll
=> Original: SSH-2.0-libssh2_0.11
=> Now: SSH-2.0-libssh2_1.0
but in 1.7.2 ext. folder no php_ssh2.dll file (gone).
IMHO there seems to be very little info out there about php_ssh2.dll or libssh2 etc.. so perhaps the developers could shed some light on this for those wanting to use this in 1.7.3 instead of having to roll back a version or two.
Finally a suggestion you may like to try and test out if you still have XAMPP 1.7.3
(
if there are no other more authoritative suggestions from the developers),
and that is to uncomment:
;extension=php_curl.dllin the php.ini file and try your usage as if you had the php_ssh2.dll, as I seem to be reading that ssh has been perhaps enabled in curl
This from the 5.3.0 php change log
Added support for SSH via libssh2 in cURL. (Pierre)alfred3x wrote:BTW, what version of PHP is in 1.7.1?
Normally you will find version specific content by visiting this link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP Windows/Click on the
Folder view link for the Release notes for a specific version's content but because of a web site developer's finger trouble the release note links, until fixed, will not be much help for version 1.7.1 or for any version except 1.7.3 that is.
From the 1.7.1 readme-en.txt file, included in the archive file, that states the PHP version is:
PHP 5.2.9 + PEAR (Support for PHP 4 has been discontinued)Worth noting that since version 1.7.1 the php.ini file resides in the
\xampp\php folder and versions prior the php.ini file resides in the
\xampp\apache\bin folder.
This link would tell you which php configuration file is being read and it's location:
http://localhost/xampp/phpinfo.phpalfred3x wrote:- a list of configuration files and their locations.
This has been taken care of in the newer versions by reading the XAMPP For Windows Home Page (
the FAQ also makes good reading):
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html#529Except for the php.ini file and a rename of the my.ini file (
from my.cnf or simply just my) most others are identical locations and names in older versions.
The Home Page would normally only contain information in relation to the current release.
The forums here would be the place to search for older release information.
My apologies for not being much help with your specific issue but I hope the rest of the rambling info is maybe some use.
Web Site Development Notes For OSWALD
The Windows Release note links at SourceForge all point to the one version 1.7.3 and need fixing:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/f ... 3.txt/view
Also the links need checking on the Home Page that refer to Vista Problems:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/faq-xam ... html#vista
Also the XAMPP Windows 1.7.3 [Basic package] ^README link loads the 1.7.2 readme_en.txt file.
