Re: Talk of dropping win98 and NT

Hi Steph, I have wanted to drop the support for these systems for a long while. I think PHP5 is a good place to do that. We still have PHP4 with a working PHP-GTK implementation. I have nver used Windows 98 or 95 for that matter I switched from 3.11 directly to NT 3.5 and never looked back :-). I think that was close to 10 years ago. - Frank > Guys 'n' gals, > > There's talk on PHP internals of dropping support in PHP for win98 and NT. > The justification is that there are useful APIs that could become part of > PHP if we do so. > > I used to support win98 in PHP for a while - Frank, I don't know how long it > is since you did that too, I gave up last summer when I got XP and lost my > 98 box. > > There are no bug reports open against PHP 'proper' from those platforms, and > on that basis I added to the general consensus on the internals list that we > should drop support for these platforms. > > It occurred to me, _after_ I'd expressed agreement there, that there may be > subscribers to this list that actually do have users on win98 or NT; they're > likely to be more common in offices than in web development houses - or are > they? > > If anyone here has a large user base running PHP-GTK on old Windows systems, > it might be a good time to write to internals@ and make that point. > > - Steph > > > > > > > > >
