I know that I just saw something like this last week on the list, but can't find it now. Anyway, I have just installed PHP 4.2.1 on my WinXP laptop running Apache 1.3.23. phpinfo() is still showing 4.1.2. I think I remember something about a dll that needs to be deleted or something like that. Can anybody let me know how to fix this?
