However the file changes are correct.) I have also tested the patch with 5.6 and master, so that could be merged for those, too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-06-09 08:02:22] wenz@php.net Related To: Bug #54020 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-06-09 08:00:41] wenz@php.net Description: ------------ Microsoft changed the behavior of GetProductInfo with Windows 7 and upwards: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724358%28v=vs.85%29.aspx Obviously due to maintain backwards compatibility, applications that were compiled to be compatible with Windows Vista report the Professional, Professional N, and Starter N editions of Windows as Business, Business N, and Starter. We could fix this by defining _WIN32_WINNT as 0x0600 or higher, but would then loose Windows Vista support. The pull request fixes that in a pretty straight forward way. There could be a more elaborate fix, since the "official" wording for the Professional editions from Windows 8 onwards is "Pro", but I'd say we leave it for now. Bug #55319 reports a specific aspect of this bug, namely the "Business" instead of "Professional". Test script: --------------- <?php phpinfo(INFO_GENERAL); Expected result: ---------------- Output contains "Windows 7 Professional" on a Windows 7 Professional machine. Actual result: -------------- Output contains "Windows 7 Business". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69781&edit=1
