Description:
------------
After installing or modifying couple of things on my xampp 
such as adding a new extension named php_rar.dll(PHP 5.3, no 
ZTS (rev 307250), well i also tried with no ZTS) which saved 
on the c:/xampp/php/ext directory and even enabled this 
php_rar.dll extension inside php.ini by adding these 
following line extension=php_rar.dll But Still I am having 
some error while restart to Apache services each time.

Here is that following error 

"PHP Startup: rar: Unable to initialize module module 
compiled with build ID=API200990626,TS,VC9 PHP compiled with 
build ID=API20090626,TS,VC6 These options need to match""

I have checked almost everything on my xampp server...

PHP 5.3.5
PEAR 1.7.2
rar-2.0.0 which is saved inside c:/xampp/htdocs/ 

While running http://localhost/rar/example ...

Having this error... 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function rar_open() in 
C:\xampp\htdocs\rar\example.php on line 9

rar: Unable to initialize module module compiled with build ID=API200990626,TS,VC9
PHP compiled with build ID=API20090626,TS,VC6

Apparently these options do not match.
You need BOTH rar and PHP compiled for the same VC version.

I would add that VC6 builds of PHP have been discontinued.
Read the notice on http://windows.php.net/ and grab a VC9 build, if possible.

Hello tony2001,

You need BOTH rar and PHP compiled for the same VC version?

may you please make it more clear for me to understand? 
Because I have installed the version which says that it is  
compatible for PHP 5.3.. But i really cant figure it out why 
doesnt it work at all.... :(

Thanks in advance once again for your great support

They were compiled with different versions of MS compiler - MSVC6 and MSVC9.

Here you can find PHP compiled with VC9: http://windows.php.net/download/

Hello once again,

I would like to inform you guys that I have also installed 
php_rar.dll on my hosting server which is a Linux based 
machine.. 
But it wouldnt work also on there....

I have simply uploaded to php_rar.dll file under the root 
folder 
/php/ext/php_rar.dll

I am not sure it will gonna to work.. Because dll is not for 
linux and i have found that this extension is just for 
Windows 
binaries (VC 9, x86):

you may please have a look on it 
www.samirayousefi.com/info.php 

www.samirayousefi.com/rar/example.php

Fatal error: Call to undefined function rar_open() in 
/home4/samirayo/public_html/rar/example.php on line 9
