Re: PHP installation _ help needed

Hi Prachait. Many thanks for your reply. I have not added to dll in IIS. I simply wanted to get off the ground and then build on what I had. So I followed the operating instructions for InstallationShield and modified the application mappings for .PHP and .PHP3 to point to C:/PHP.php.exe. I did though modify the previous IIS with the regedit provided by PHP zip version with the same results. Since that time I have reloaded ISS so I would have thought we were back to square one!! One strange thing though PHP.EXE ignores anything I type into it e.g. info(). I have downloaded PHP from 2 different mirrors so I would have thought they were to be trusted. My thoughts were that PHP.INI might need modification. But what specifically? The install instructions suggest that it should work as is. Any Thoughts - Anyone please?
