#23391 [WFx]: Caanot run under Windows 95

ID: 23391 Updated by: pollita@php.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: *old* patches [for Windows 95] are still available. New ones will not be comming out. Microsoft officially stopped supporting this platform at the end of 2001, and declared it dead "End of Life" at the end of 2002. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle.mspx As wez said, there's no reason to sacrifice performance to support a platform that's been abandoned by its own vendor.

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-28 18:38:06] wez@php.net If you can supply a patch to correct this, we will review it and most likely apply it.

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
