Re: PHP, apache and windows xp installation problem

hi anna, although i'm using a windows 2000 server, i think i have the same problem. reading through newsgroups, it seems that the php4apache2.dll is still buggy. some say they solved the problem by using php4filter.dll, but i was browsing through the php archives in search for the latter, and all the sudden my eyes fall on the following line: lrwx 1 25 Jul 25 18:18 php4.2.x-apache2.zip -> temp/php4.2.x-apache2.zip that file must be there for a reason, so i downloaded it, replaced it with the experimental dll and ... yes, it works. the link for downloading is: http://ftp.proventum.net/pub/php/win32/php4.2.x-apache2.zip hope this solves your problem too. greetings, filip On Fri, 27 Sep 2002 17:49:59 +0000, annawagg@hotmail.com (Anna Wagg) wrote: >Hi all, > >My name is Anna.
