Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63851&edit=1 ID: 63851 Updated by: pajoye@php.net Reported by: hanskrentel at yahoo dot de Summary: inet_ntop in WS2_32.dll has Windows Vista / Windows Server 2008 minimum require Status: Not a bug Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Windows Installer Operating System: Win32 / XP PHP Version: 5.5.0alpha2 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: @hanskrentel at yahoo dot de XP is dead already from a MSFT point of view, no update and so on. If you still have to use these versions (xp, 2003 and the likes), you can stick to 5.3 or 5.4 (which will be around for the next two years). If you have to support XP in two years, you will have other issues to deal with than php :). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-01-08 03:28:27] aharvey@php.net I think it's extremely unlikely dropping XP and 2003 support will be revisited at this point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-12-25 13:09:22] hanskrentel at yahoo dot de Description: ------------ I know that you don't want to support Windows XP any longer, but I think it's a pitty. When asked about that one only got the answer back that "things must not break immediatly". My first reaction should have been "dream on" because as I now found out just starting on XP does fail immediately: inet_ntop entry point can not be found in WS2_32.dll - It has Windows Vista / Windows Server 2008 minimum requirements Please see http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en- US/vcgeneral/thread/e40465f2-41b7-4243-ad33-15ae9366f4e6 on how to make that compatible, it might be of use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63851&edit=1
