Assigned to installer maintainer Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-03-07 06:10:44] jcs at austin dot rr dot com OK, SOME PROGRESS: 1) I THINK THE ERROR THAT WAS GIVEN WAS BOGUS...THERE ARE MANY POSTS ON THE WEB THAT SHOW PARSE ERRORS TO LINES THAT DON'T EXIST IN PHI.INI FILES 2) GOT IT TO WORK BY: - COPYING THE ZIP INSTALL TO THE C:\PHP DIRECTORY. problem: could not figure out how to "tell" windows that PHP was there so every time I loaded a page it didn't know how to interpret a .php file. so: - WITHOUT ERASING, WROTE OVER THIS WITH THE INSTALL VERSION. this configured windows correctly but left the correct "configuration" in place. 3) in my opinion the installer is buggy. 4) The ZIP version is OK but maybe you should make it more clear to folks how to "hook" into Windows. 5) Why not have "pay as you go" tech support for install problems. I would have very happily PayPal-ed you guys $100 bucks to help me through this...it has been several nights to figure this out and read through all the postings out there. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY IT WORKED OR WHAT WAS WRONG BUT I WILL TAKE THE WIN FOR NOW.

OK: PHP installed to: 1) C:\PHP 2) extensions in: C:\PHP\ext 3) php.ini file in C:\PHP This was the installer generated file. 4) In a command window at the command line in C:\PHP I run php -c . php.ini I get the following: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LOGICAL_AND in C:\PHP\php.ini on line 126 The line is just a comment...I don't get it (see below). ; NOTE: Using short tags should be avoided when developing applications or Please help, I have wasted so much time on this.
