RE: [PHP-WIN] First Timer

Id also advise to be careful with the default php.ini file that ships with the default installer for windows. That file is configured so that you can get up and running with PHP as quickly as possible... which is nice... but it aint configured for security or performance. At least in 4.1 they shut off register_globals on the default install. Anyway, if you download the source code for PHP, it comes with a file called "php.ini-recommended" which aint perfect, but is closer to how you'd want to configure your system for speed and security... if you turn on 'display_errors' then its fine to develop on as well... as long as 'error_reporting' includes notices as well... -- Brian 'Bex' Huff bex@stellent.com Phone: 952-903-2023 Fax: 952-829-5424 > 1) Have a configured web server (e.g. IIS, Apache) > 2) Get the PHP engine (download from php.net) > 3) Setup and configure PHP with specific web server requirements according > to the documentation included with PHP download
