Doc #66190 [NEW]: Instructions to register PHP as interpreter for associated scripts needs fix

From: anrdaemon at yandex dot ru Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Instructions to register PHP as interpreter for associated scripts needs fix Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/install.windows.commandline --- First, the order in which extension is registered is illogical, it only works because CMD does not check the presence of a file type, when adding an association. But you MUST NOT rely on bugs. You should create a file type first, then associate extensions with it. Second, the suggested file type command prevent execution of a script with more than one argument (if at all functional - on my installation, it passing literal "%~2" to executing script). It must be changed to something like ftype phpfile="C:\PHP5\php.exe" -f "%1" -- %* to make it work with any number of arguments. The "%~2" notation is CMD (and more specifically - CMD batch file) specific. When executing file type association, CMD is NOT used. And third, I suggest using PHPScript for file type name, the same name used in PECL ActiveScript SAPI, to keep all associations in one place. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66190&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=66190&r=mysqlcfg
