PHP on 64-bit windows

php 6 will actually have real 64bit support, hopefully, the int64 branch has all necessary changes and I seriously hope that the RFC will be accepted.

Pierre ... I'm still fighting 32/64 bit problems with windows on legacy systems. 64 bit windows does not allow access to the parallel port which we use for controlling additional hardware. While not directly a problem for simple code, is the way 64 bit builds of windows handle memory access a problem for PHP builds? Having moved the servers over to Linux for PHP and database support, the remaining elements are STILL locked to 32bit windows simply because of legacy hardware, but I'm trying to work out the best way forward as we are still tied to XP on a number of systems ... with PHP access for control ... so things are getting very messy :( -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
