RE: [PHP4BETA] Where are Windows DLLs???????

1. Go to http://dk.php.net/version4/win32build.php and follow the instructions for building PHP. 2. Once you have that going, you are ready to compile the modules set up in php_modules.dsw. Some of the modules need some extra files to compile, you can find some of those at download.swwwing.com You need MSVC6 at the moment to compile. I would think it should be possible to use Borland with some tweaking, but haven't tried. Btw. as with all compiling this is never a trivial process..
