note 57432 added to install.windows.iis

PROBLEM PHP $DOCUMENT_ROOT was not set in IIS. ANALYSIS A Google search turned up a suggestion re using ISAPI instead of CGI. SOLUTION I did the fix per these suggested steps from Google search: 1 Downloaded PHP5 zip 2 Added ISAPI filter PHP5ISAPI.DLL named PHP 3 Changed document type .php to point at the PHP5ISAPI.DLL file instead of PHP.EXE. RESULT This worked - the php pages started picking up $DOCUMENT_ROOT as expected. General suggestion: Don't waste time with CGI, use ISAPI. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57432 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57432&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57432&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57432&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57432&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57432&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57432&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57432&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57432&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
