RE: [PHP-WEBMASTER] misleading info from php web site

Thanks for the clarification. Maybe it'd be useful to others to replace "Do NOT use VC9 version with apache.org binaries" by "for using 5.3 with apache on windows, you have to use VC9 binaries for apache also, which can be found on apachelounge builds or build it yourself as Apache.org doesn't have any VC9 builds". By the way, I'm using Apache 2.2 from .org and Php 5.2.17 VC6 but Apache service fails to start as soon as I updare the httpd.conf with php ref... but that's another issue, VS10 interference related I think...

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.
