Ok, I was wondering if this was still true because Nuno said : "We don't advise users to copy files to the windows directory anymore. Users should add the PHP dir to the path, as is explained in http://php.net/install.windows.manual. So can you please remove that info? " http://news.php.net/php.doc/969371458 So :) ?

<para>

The PHP manual used to promote the copying of files into the Windows system directory, this is because this directory (<filename>C:\Windows</filename>,

<filename>C:\WINNT</filename>, etc.)

is by default in the systems PATH. Copying files into the Windows system directory has long since been deprecated and may cause problems. </para>

So? Where's the problem? Nuno says "We don't advise users to copy files to the windows directory anymore"; the other bit you quoted says "Copying files into the Windows system directory has long since been deprecated". Those two statements seem to be in accord to me. Cheers!
