Bug description: Missing the Windows Extensions and DLL's in the .exe binary?
Hello,
On your download page (http://www.php.net/downloads.php),
you currently list (2) Win32 Binaries:
Note: I'm running Apache 1.3.14 on Windows 98
=======================================================================
I first downloaded: php-4.0.3pl1-installer.exe (723KB)
PHP 4.0.3pl1 - 11 October 2000
(CGI only, MySQL support built-in, packaged as Windows installer to
install and configure PHP, and automatically configure IIS, PWS and
Xitami, with manual configuration for other servers)
I ran the "Standard" install, but unlike 4.0.2, which I was running
previously (and just deleted!), there are NO extensions provided?
Heres what was installed:
C:\PHP\sessiondata\ (empty directory)
C:\PHP\uploadtemp\ (empty directory)
C:\PHP\IISConfig.exe
C:\PHP\License
C:\PHP\php.exe
C:\PHP\php4ts.dll
C:\PHP\README.txt
.... and it slapped the "php.ini" file in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
5 files and 2 empty directories?? BUT NO EXTENSIONS??
=======================================================================
So I then downloaded the OTHER binary and unzipped to C:\PHP4:
php-4.0.3pl1-Win32.zip (3,341KB)
PHP 4.0.3pl1 - 11 October 2000
(CGI binary and ISAPI module included, MySQL support built-in,
packaged as zip).
Heres what was installed:
C:\PHP4\browscap\browscap.ini
C:\PHP4\browscap\browscap-readme.txt
C:\PHP4\dlls\ <<<<< HEY...there's all the DLL's!!
C:\PHP4\extensions\ <<<<< HEY...there's all the Extensions!!
C:\PHP4\mibs\ I have no idea what this stuff is ;-)
C:\PHP4\sapi\
C:\PHP4\license.txt
C:\PHP4\php.exe
C:\PHP4\php.ini-dist
C:\PHP4\php.ini-optimized
C:\PHP4\php4ts.dll
C:\PHP4\README.txt
ALL THE EXTENSIONS and DLL's that were missing in the .EXE
were INCLUDED!! However, the ZIP did not include the 2 empty
directories and IISConfig.exe:
C:\PHP\sessiondata\ (empty directory)
C:\PHP\uploadtemp\ (empty directory)
C:\PHP4\IISConfig.exe
=======================================================================
To make a short story long, WHY the big difference between the ".EXE"
and the ZIP file, and WHY are the extensions etc. NOT included with the
".EXE" ?? Do you have to choose the "Advanced" option during install
with the .exe to have these files included?
Whaazz up ??!!
Regards,
Steve
