FW: [PHP-DEV] BUG #18630

I missed a load, I could've argued much better. Remind me never to send mail to the list post-party ever again.. They run NT 4.0 here, and i was gobsmacked to see it. Five years ago I worked for ICL and we used NT 4.1 there. So I guess what I'm saying is, ASSUME NOTHING. ICL were M$ partners... -----Original Message----- From: Steph [mailto:steph.fox@virgin.net] Sent: 31 October 2003 02:58 To: Uwe Schindler; internals@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP-DEV] BUG #18630 I just started a post-grad course. The majority of the network I deal with here day-in-day-out is NT4.0 and yeah that makes me cringe too. But it has to be asked, if this is the case in a UK uni network then why assume anything? The guys here are also committed to using opensource, and PHP is taught on my course... *nix runs the stuff behind it all, in every case. (The usual teccie/management divide.) So right, in the Far East NT 4 is 'still popular'? :I get real, we're 'advanced'! > -----Original Message----- > From: Uwe Schindler [mailto:uwe@thetaphi.de] > Sent: 30 October 2003 22:01 > To: internals@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] BUG #18630 > > > You can also check vor availability of this single function with > GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle("kernel32.dll"),"funcname") and use the > pointer from there if not NULL.
