Been down that road and it got me knowhere, I dont wish to buy information
or books, I just need to know if its running as well as if its working and
if the config or rather how the config works...
For an organisation that wants people to use PHP, you sure make things very
difficult to achieve, why I am so critical of sites like yours.
I will re-iterate once more, I have trawled the site and resources and
cannot find the answer to my problem anywhere in the site or links you
provide, plenty of waffel and hot air but no nuts and bolts stuff, if you
dont know what IM talking about??? IM talking about the info to make it work
as at the moment it is just occupying hard drive space which I could put to
better use if this is the level of support that you get from PHP.
So...2nd time around and I hope you read the email before you reply.
Can I have access to the information I need if you have it? You have plenty
of advice for Linux users, what about us Windows users? Running Linux is not
an option IM afraid.
What do you think how much of our users set up PHP on windows and on linux? See
http://php.net/usage, and see yourself that we have a lot of users around the world.
Guys working on the PHP engine, extensions, documentation, etc. all do their work for free, including me. We are not interested in getting every single person to use PHP. If you find some other solution better suited for you, then choose that one. The numbers show that there is a huge number of users finding PHP easy to set up and run, and that we (and all the sites covering PHP on the net) provide proper support for what we develop for free and give out for free.
If you would like to get an answer, ask a question first. But please forward that to php-general@lists.php.net, and take my advice on omitting rants from that letter, or otherwise you will not receive an answer. Consider the IRC channels, forums, local user groups, conferences, books, tutorial sites, windows quick installation kits linked from our site.
