Is it possible for me to Install PHP as > module on my computer? The Microsoft-ism for "as a module" would involve using the ISAPI filter thingie. The first "I" in ISAPI stands for IIS, so I have no reassurance that it can be done with PWS at all. Even if you *can* do it, you'll probably have to edit the registry or something equally gnarly, since PWS is pretty bare-bones. You *could* switch to Apache which is way mo' better than PWS... -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is not working -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out? Like Music?
