I need to install PHP 5.3.x (preferably x >= 4) on Windows box running Apache. Unfortunately, in the PHP downloads page, I cannot find any PHP 5.3.x compiled with VC6. So…
- Can I use the VC9 binaries on Apache?
- If so, how? Do I have to do anything special?
http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=2743 – In this thread, they say that using VC9 PHP is not recommended at all with VC6 Apache, even though it might work at first. They don’t say why.
http://windows.php.net/qa/ – Here, they also state not to use PHP5.3 VC9 with Apache compiled with VC6 (and also don’t state why).
I think it might be best to upgrade your Apache to the VC9 version: http://www.apachelounge.com/download/
