RE: [PHP-GENERAL] PHP4

I know the module you are talking about, I think that is an old version of PHP. I don't think PHP4 can be configured like that. I need PHP4 because I need session variables. Coldfusion is a server side scripting language much like PHP except that it works exactly like HTML using TAGS which makes it quite easy to work with, it also comes with a very good admin interface. If you want to look, take a peek at www.allaire.com It is cross platform and there is a free version called Coldfusion Express. I think I will end up using it, PHP is giving me too much grief today! -----Original Message----- From: James Lyon [mailto:james.lyon@aztec.co.uk] Sent: 30 May 2000 13:44 To: Chris Davis Cc: Php Mailing Ist (E-mail) Subject: Re: [PHP-GENERAL] PHP4 > When i was using PHP3 i was running the EXE from apache, and the > instructions say the same with PHP4. I've never configured apache to load a > DLL before, how do I do this ? Ah, I always use "Loadable Modules" ... which under MS-Windows means a DLL. Instead of running the PHP application to execute the PHP code every time a page is accessed, the Apache software actually loads a module that gives it PHP capability -- and it just handles the scripts itself. You do this by specifying a loadable module to Apache in its config. file (and a filetype) and thereafter it handles the scripts itself. I'd try that anyway if I were you as it's better for performance in the longer run, I believe. The details are beyond me as I only know Linux -- check the doc's though coz this is standard so it's supported etc... although I wonder about PHP4 yet? I don't know. > I have with ColdFusion, is it the same ? I know nothing about ColdFusion. What is it?
