Re: misleading info from php web site

read my previous mail again. php only supports >= VC9 since 5.3.6: http://www.php.net/archive/2011.php#id2011-03-17-1 "Windows users: please mind that we do no longer provide builds created with Visual Studio C++ 6. It is impossible to maintain a high quality and safe build of PHP for Windows using this unmaintained compiler. For Apache SAPIs (php5_apache2_2.dll), be sure that you use a Visual Studio C++ 9 version of Apache. We recommend the Apache builds as provided by ApacheLounge. For any other SAPI (CLI, FastCGI via mod_fcgi, FastCGI with IIS or other FastCGI capable server), everything works as before. Third party extension providers must rebuild their extensions to make them compatible and loadable with the Visual Studio C++ 9 builds that we now provide. " so as I mentioned before, for using 5.3 with apache on windows, you have to use VC9 binaries for apache also. unfortunately http://httpd.apache.org/ doesn't provide VC9 builds, but you can use the apachelounge builds or build it yourself. for more info, see http://marc.info/?l=php-windows&m=130195250129074&w=4 On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 2:35 AM, Frederic Gillot <fred.gillot@gmail.com> wrote: > Let's try this way: > If (VC6 == Apache) && (5.3.x <> VC6) Then (5.3.x <> Apache) > > Unless of course, there's a 5.3.x VC6 release... but there's none posted. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Ferenc Kovacs [mailto:tyra3l@gmail.com] > Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2011 3:56 PM > To: Frederic Gillot > Cc: php-webmaster@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP-WEBMASTER] misleading info from php web site > > On Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 10:54 PM, Frederic Gillot <fred.gillot@gmail.com> > wrote: >> It's stated on the php web site here (http://windows.php.net/download ) > that >> VC6 is for Apache and VC9 for IIS.
