Question

I have installed xampp 1.7.4 with php version 5.3.5 on windows xp. How to install ffmpeg in xampp with php 5.3.5 on windows xp?

Answer 1

Go to apachefriends.org You will find a link to ffmpeg 0.6.0 for php 5.3.1 there.

1. Copy php_ffmpeg.dll to xampp\php\ext.
2. Copy ffmpeg.exe into root of your site or anywhere else as long you know where (you will have to define path to it in your php file)...
3. Copy everything else to windows/system32.
4. Add "extension=php_ffmpeg.dll" or remove ";" on the beginning of that line in php.ini file (xampp\php\php.ini )
5. Restart apache server... and voila :)

It worked for me on PHP 5.3.1 and 5.3.5 :) I found this on apachefriends.org

Good luck :)
