#23391 [WFx]: Caanot run under Windows 95

ID: 23391 User updated by: miloslav at ponkrac dot net Reported By: miloslav at ponkrac dot net Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Windows 95 PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: However, we are not planning to spend time on support for win95 - an OS that is no longer supported by its vendor and one that is not suitable for use as a server platform. PHP is not determined for server platform. PHP is not server application, PHP is only scripting language. PHP needn't server environment. If PHP is suitable only for server platform then something is bad... Win95 is not officialy supported but I can download service packs for this OS, sometimes new version of libraries etc.. Some clients using Windows 95. By the way, latest version of Apache works on Windows 95, latest version of MySQL works on Windows 95. If PHP will not use CancelIo then will work on Windows 95 too.

Why PHP team make PHP unusable for this OS? I will be search replacement by PHP if PHP will not run under Windows 95. I wanna help in PHP expanding but I can't project application if I can't use project under Windows 95. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-28 18:04:21] wez@php.net Windows 95 is no longer supported. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-28 17:47:48] miloslav at ponkrac dot net PHP version 4.3.1 can't run under Windows 95. Missing export function CancelIo in kernel32.dll. I think it's important to run PHP to all 32/bit versions of Windows. I use PHP to wide activities such us batch scripts written in PHP language. After downloading PHP 4.3.1 in binary version I can't run under Windows 95. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23391&edit=1
