Php warning: cannot load module “http” because required module “raphf” is not loaded in unknown on line 0

by

When you encounter the error message “php warning: cannot load module “http” because required module “raphf” is not loaded in unknown on line 0“, it typically means that the HTTP extension module in PHP is trying to load a required module called “raphf”, but it is not installed or enabled in your PHP configuration.

The http extension module in PHP provides advanced functionality for working with HTTP requests, responses, and URLs. It depends on other modules such as “raphf” (Resource and Persistent Handle Factory) to function properly.

To resolve this issue, you need to make sure that both the http and raphf modules are installed and enabled in your PHP configuration. Here are the steps to do it:

  1. Check PHP Version: Verify that you are using a PHP version that supports the http extension and the required raphf module. The http extension is available as a PECL extension starting from PHP 5 up to PHP 7.2. If you are using an older PHP version, consider upgrading to a supported version.

    Example:

    <?php
phpinfo();
?>

    Save the above code to a file (e.g., info.php) and run it in your webserver. Look for the “PHP Version” section to check your PHP version.

  2. Install PECL Package: Install the required raphf module using the PECL package manager. PECL is a repository for PHP extensions. Open a terminal or command prompt and run the following command: 

    pecl install raphf

    Follow the prompts and let the installation process finish.

  3. Enable Extensions: Modify your PHP configuration to enable both the http and raphf modules. Locate the php.ini file used by your PHP installation. This file is usually located in the PHP installation directory. Open it in a text editor and search for the following lines: 

    ;extension=http.so
;extension=raphf.so

    Remove the semicolon (;) at the beginning of each line to uncomment them and enable the modules:

    extension=http.so
extension=raphf.so

    Save the changes and close the file.

  4. Restart Webserver: Restart your webserver to apply the changes. This step is necessary to reload the PHP configuration. The method for restarting the webserver depends on your operating system. For example, you can use the following commands for Apache on Linux: 

    sudo service apache2 restart

    After restarting the webserver, the http and raphf modules should be loaded successfully, and the PHP warning should no longer appear.
