XAMPP Solr PHP PECL

Question

I am trying to install the PHP PECL Solr extension on XAMPP running on Windows. I have gotten the right DLL for my PHP version, and ensured that it's in the correct directory for extensions as indicated in php.ini, and added the extension to php.ini.

When I start XAMPP it says it "Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\xampp\php\ext\php_solr.dll' - the specified module could not be found." I'm not sure if it's talking about the .dll because it's there. I don't know if any other files in the zip belong in the ..\ext folder too. The only thing that's in there besides READMEs and .php files is php_solr.pdb. Tried dropping that into ..\ext but that didn't help. The README says refer to README.INSTALLATION but there is no such file in the zip. What to do?

I have found the solution here

It's the same reason, that libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll have to be path-accessible for php_solr.dll loading to succeed So put your C:\xampp\php into system path and it should work
