I have been using PHP 4.04 for a while and I feel very good, especially this 3M full version comes with a lot of good stuff. But seeing that many friends are still using the old version, I highly recommend it.
Address: http://www.php.net/downloads.php
PHP 4.0.4 - 19 December 2000
(3.79 Mb CGI binary and ISAPI module included, MySQL support built-in , many
extensions included, packaged as zip)
(3.79 Mb already contains CGI and ISAPI modules, built-in support for MySQL, contains many extension modules
blocks, Zip format)
The accompanying instructions are too long, so now I will just talk about the installation under Apache (most people use Apache
, right?):
Assume that Apache is installed under c:\Apache, and PHP is unzipped to Under c:PHP, the windows directory is
c:windows (win98) or c:winnt (win2000).
1. Close Apache.
Edit c:Apacheconfhttpd.conf and add these lines according to your situation:
2. Copy c:PHPphp4ts.dll to c:windowssystem (win98) or
Under c:winntsystem32 (win2000), overwrite any original files.
# Install as Apache module, add the following lines to httpd.conf:
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php. php
(Isn’t it much more convenient than using mod_php4-4.x.zip)
# Install in CGI mode, add the following lines to httpd.conf:
ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/php/"
Action application/x-httpd-php4 "/php/php.exe"
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php
3. Put c: Copy php.ini-dist to c:windows (win98) or c:winnt (win2000), rename it to php.ini, and edit it according to your needs.
What must be changed is extension_dir = c:/php
4. Restart Apache.
