If you have already done basic configuration of IIS6 on Windows Server 2003, and have an otherwise functional setup, then exactly following these steps should give you a fully-functioning installation of PHP. However, since I cannot know the combination of hardware and software you are running, or any of the environment factors within which you work, I cannot gaurantee that these steps will work for you. They have worked for me and others who have followed them.

There are five parts to the guide - Installation, Configuration of PHP, Configuration of IIS, Testing, and Troubleshooting. Each step is very descriptive and provides a "sub-list" of things to be sure to set up. The troubleshooting section can help out a great deal as well, providing easy answers to common questions about the setup process...]]> Thu, 26 Jan 2006 07:04:10 -0600 http://www.phpdeveloper.org/news/4664 http://www.phpdeveloper.org/news/4664 main PHP site, they've released the latest version in the 4.4.x series - PHP 4.4.2.

The PHP development team is proud to announce the release of PHP 4.4.2. This release address a few small security issues, and also corrects some regressions that occurred in PHP 4.4.1. All PHP 4 users are encouraged to upgrade to this release.

Further details about this release can be found in the release announcement and the full list of changes is available in the PHP 4 ChangeLog.

Some of the things that this edition fixes includes: HTTP Response Splitting has been addressed in the header() function, an XSS problem inside the error reporting functionality has been removed, and Apache 2 regression with sub-request handling on non-Linux systems has been fixed.

So, head on over and grab this lastest distribution and upgrade today!]]> Fri, 13 Jan 2006 11:45:52 -0600 http://www.phpdeveloper.org/news/4400 http://www.phpdeveloper.org/news/4400 PHPMac.com today, they have this new tutorial posted to help you, the OS X (Tiger) user to get Apache 2 and PHP 5.1.1 installed on your system.

For anyone that has been wishing to switch to Apache 2 on their Mac, this is the time to do it. PHP 5 has also recently been updated to 5.1.1 and this tutorial describes in detail, the best method to both build and install these programmes on your Mac.

Since Apple don't include Apache 2 with OS X yet I have felt it better to keep Apache 2 in its own directory, and to keep PHP for Apache 2, etc. confined the that directory too.

As usual, they give you all of the commands and information to get it all unpacked, placed in the right locations, and configured for your setup. There are also a few "frequent issues" down near the end of the tutorial to watch out for during your process...]]> Wed, 30 Nov 2005 07:11:52 -0600
