Hi, a quick rant about the current suggested installation for win32. I think that suggesting users copy all the dll's to the system dir and worse still the php.ini to the windir is asking for trouble, most win32 users interested in php-gtk already have mod_php setup on thier system and overwriting the php.ini is a recipie for cursing. Why cant the suggested installation just dump all dll's in the /php4 directory and extensions in /php4/extensions making sure that both php.exe and php_win.exe look first in /php4 for the php.ini. There may be a good reason that this is not the case, but I can't see it as your win32 typical user , it almost seems designed to annoy and confuse ... user installs mod_php - it works - user installs php-gtk - mod_php is stuffed bad juju IMO ;) So whats the chance of a change ?
