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

The only info you have on the PHP site on building PHP4 is for the CGI version. However, the rest is neither very different nor difficult. I will post a how-to on compiling different win32 PHP things soon. BTW, someone mentioned the free Borland C compiler (BCC). Well, after being forced to give them all kinds of info (heck, they almost asked me what I like for breakfast), I was given a link. And it didn't work. FTPing into the damn server showed an empty directory. I mailed them, and haven't recieved any reply so far (two days).
