ID: 48761 Comment by: hofmann at jonhofmann dot com Reported By: aheckmann at m-s dot de Status: To be documented Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: win32 only - Windows 2000 SP4 PHP Version: 5.3.0 New Comment:
I'd like to see PHP 5.3 work for w2k as I probably won't be able to afford to get a better OS soon and have too much invested in what works now ... If I would have just had the simple warning about 5.3 not working on w2k I wouldn't have lost HOURS recently. RE: Bruces question "where do I obtain and include the mentioned Ws2tcpip.h and Wspiapi.h files" I found one, wspiapi.h, in the IPv6Kit supplied on a windows site.

The idea solution is to use a recent one." Pierre, While I appreciate what your team does more than I can possibly express, I believe this is a shocking response. If 5.3.0 doesn't support Windows 2000, then simply drop support for Windows 2000 in the documentation. Fine, no problem. Like the prior comment from 'broth' it's agonizing to break a working installation, going to 5.3, when that version simply does not support the OS. Otherwise, users like myself are going to waste hours debugging this mess. I respectfully request a change to the 'Changes made to Windows Support' to correct the statement: "The minimum Windows version is now Windows 2000; Windows 98, ME, and NT4 are no longer supported." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-16 23:08:06] paj...@php.net No, the solution is to use at least a 10 years old operating system.

I would really like to see this fixed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-19 07:25:58] broth at superp dot com I sure wish a notice was put on PHP 5.3.0 that is would not work with win2000 I had PHP working! After the load of V5.3.0 my previous V 5.1 version is corrupt! One simple Warning note would have saved me hours! Thanks for the concern. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-03 23:43:27] paj...@php.net PHP 5.2 works just fine in this configuration. So you can follow they lovely adage and keep using 5.2.x with the existing apps :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
