PHP 7.2, drop-down menu extension enable/disable does not work

Ayesh

Thanks for everyones efforts in finally bringing a great development environment to Windows!
I'm trying to get PHP 7.2 to work well with Laragon.

PHP 7.2 windows builds are built with VC15, so I have downloaded a compatible Apache version from apachelounge, and have enabled PHP 7.2. It does work, but I can't get PHP extension enable/disable feature to work from the drop down menu.

PHP 7.2 has a new feature that it automatically detects the file extension of PHP extensions (.dll for Windows, .so for Unix-like), so the default php.ini file no longer has the file extension. I'm guessing this is the reason why Laragon can't detect the existing enabled extensions. Can we fix it so that if the PHP version is >= 7.2, Laragon parses the php.ini file without the file extension and add them without it too?

Thanks.

@Ayesh : I've released Laragon 3.1.4 that fixed the issue.

Tip for other people who end up on this thread,
for the same reason, and how to fix it!

I could not get the extensions to enable/disable at all

So I edited my php.ini

and changeed extension_dir

from this:
extension_dir = "C:/laragon/bin/php/php-7.2.19-Win32-VC15-x64/ext"

to this:
extension_dir = "C:\laragon\bin\php\php-7.2.19-Win32-VC15-x64\ext"

And now the extension menu works perfectly as expected

I am running Laragon Full 4.0.15 190704
php-7.2.19-Win32-VC15-x64
on
Windows 10

I was testing my results before and after, using this simple script:

echo ("<hr><pre>"); print_r(get_loaded_extensions()); echo ("</pre><hr>"); phpinfo();

I am using Laragon 4.0.16 with PHP8.0.2, and I am still getting this error. Laragon is unable to enable extenstions.
