Just a few notes :)
8. It is still not clear to me, how php[45]ts.dll is found by a CGI and an SAPI module setup, and what part of the install instructions guarantee that it will be found at the default place, where someone unzips PHP.
Guaranty for SAPI module setup to find php[45]ts.dll is the fact that it sits in the same folder as the SAPI dlls. This is true for PHP 5 as the zip is packaged this way and for PHP 4 by copy/move sapi dlls from sapi folder to the main folder php-4.x.y is unzipped.
The "move all SAPI dlls to the root PHP folder" instruction is missing from the docs. It is advised that for the servers to find php4ts.dll, c:\php needs to be on the PATH. But if people don't move the sapi dlls to the PHP root folder, the instructions will not work. AFAIK. Nuno, what do you think?
