Yes, the file structure is diffrent > Following files reside in the root of snapshots but in sapi/ of releases: > > php4[servername].dll > php4[*].reg > phpsrvlet.dll If we put sapi's in the same dir as php4ts.dll, PHP becomes self-contained, ie. no need to copy any dlls to make the base installation work. You only need to copy dlls if you want to use some of the extensions provided in the extensions dir. > Following file resides in the root of snapshots but in java/ of releases: > > phpsrvlet.jar > > Following file resides in extensions/ of snapshots but in java/ of releases: > > php_java.jar > > (the java/ directory is missing in 4.2.0.) The java files belong to their sapis and extensions, so they are placed in the same folder. > Some files residing in relases dll/ are missing in snapshots > > i.e. gnu_gettext.dll, ming.dll Those are compiled in statically, so no need for dlls. > I don't know if this is of any importance, but maybe... Anybody willing to test these, before they are actually released is very welcome. Edin
