Hi Folks: Downloaded the latest snapshot, php5-win32-200401081130, and am enjoying the new file layout. Both the CGI and CLI exe's are now in the base directory. CLI is called "php.exe" and the CGI is called "php-cgi.exe." Please consider reversing the names. Making the CLI "php-cli.exe" and the CGI "php.exe" will make installation less of a hastle. Users and their computers expect the php.exe to be the CGI and are using it to serve web pages. While having each user individually change their files isn't insurmountable, it's an unnecessary step for many thousands of people. And for some people, it's a step they'd need to repeat over and over as they unzip new snapshots. By the way, thanks for renaming the dll. I'm looking forward to running 4 and 5 concurrently as CGI's on my windows development system. Thanks for your consideration, --Dan -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
