The original question was formulated like this: "Does anyone know how to start a PHP application through Visual C++ or C++". So (s)he just wanted to be able to start something from C++, but seams also to hint the read about that (s)he is using Visual C++. > The Visual C++ integrated development environment isn't designed to do that, There is a huge difference in "supporting" and "not able to", and your expresssion "isn't designed to do that" can be understodd in both ways. > it can only launch (and debug) applications written in C++.

No, because I am even more confused now, since you originally claimed this: "I wouldn't be surprised if Visual C++ can't do it at all" I am confused by thew fact that you now consider the opposite as being "obviously true". Because it is also "obviously true" that you actually believed the contrary just about a month ago. How come this sudden changes of mind about this matter???? > Jill > > PS.
