ZMQ on Xampp (Windows)

I've got a problem with the installation of the ZMQ Extension for PHP 5.5 on Windows. I've successfully downloaded the file php_zmq.dll and libzmq.dll for Pecl. But if I'm trying to register the extension (I moved the files php_zmq.dll and libzmq.dll to the extension folder of PHP (C:\xampp\php\ext) and restarting the server, there always comes the message that libzmq.dll is required. But both files are in the same directory. I've entered this in the php.ini: extension=php_zmq.dll

I hope someone can help me. If you need some information, you can tell it to me.

Thanks

The solution recording to the wiki should be the following

Copy libzmq.dll into your php directory (e.g. C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.8)

Copy the appropriate version of php_zmq.dll to your php extension directory (e.g. C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.8\ext)

The libzmq.dll goes not into the ~/php/ext/ folder. To install ZMQ with xampp you have to put the libzmq.dll into the xampp folder (~/xampp/)!

If it is not working, check if you downloaded the right package from http://pecl.php.net/package/zmq

DO NOT COPY libzmq.dll to the ext folder, rather the php folder. Worked for me!
