Ok people here is the problem.

I had the same the problem on a newly built server Win2K SP2 with the
latest PHP release.  After hours of messing around to get this thing to
work - I finally found the problem.

The problem was the php.exe was not reading the php.ini in the system32
directory as per normal.

I ran a phpinfo() from the commmand line (DOS Window) checked the
"Configuration File (php.ini) Path" and surely enough the path was
pointing to where my php scripts where located on the webserver doc
root (e.g. c:/www/www.umm.com/doc/php.ini), so I moved the php.ini file
to this folder - and guess what? it worked.

I can't see anywhere where I can set the configuration file path - and
i don't think its very wise to store php.ini in the web folder.

Is this a bug? If so please can you fix this ASAP - this is truly a
show-stopper!

Updated version, OS, Summary, reclassified as documentation problem.

As mentioned already, the way to go is to set

  cgi.force_redirect = 0

in php.ini . It's now documented in php4/win32/install.txt but needs to
be properly documented in the manual too (especially in the ini
settings and the http://php.net/security.cgi-bin page).

Your version of PHP is not too old, but you shouldn't ask support
