PHP5 Beta1?
yesterday i have downloaded the bin version of php5 for windows.
here are some problems that i have during my install / test.
some of them i have solved but a few i can't figure out.
1. if you have installed apache1.3x and php4 before and want upgrade to
apache 1.3.x and php5 then you must replace the entry in the httpd.conf
from :
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
to
LoadModule php5_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
otherwise apache does not start. this is install.doc in the php distribution
tells you to use the first statement. it seems that the docs need some work
to reflect the new php5 config/install statements.
2. PHP5 comes without the clientlibs of mysql!!!
i find it very confusing that there is no more info about this on
www.php.net nor mysql.com
so what with lamp and wamp (will it be lans and wans for the new sqlite)
ok they don't budle mysql and php but how can we do it with php5 + mysql
where is the info , the how to ?
3. PHP5 have a completely new domxml extension . where is it ? the
recomended - php.ini in the distribution confuses you again with old module
entries that doesn't work.
what they meen with a complete new extension is it so new that we can't see
it? ;-)
4. i can't understand why they call it php5 beta1 , as long as mysql doesnt
work it can only called php5 alpha zero.
find infomation about php5 or the mysql probl. or domxml is like searching
for topsecret documents.
i find if they don't get mysql working the old way they will be so
incompatible that they can think again if they will introduce new syntax
like double underscore methods and other old stuff.
"__constructor()" why not constructor() ...
