Status: To be documented
Bug Type: Reproducible crash
Operating System: win32 only - Windows 2000 SP4
PHP Version: 5.3.0
New Comment:
"No, the solution is to use at least a 10 years old operating system.
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."

So is the only solution to return to PHP 5.2.11?
I would really like to see this fixed.

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.

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 :)

I run Small Business Server 2000 and need to set up PHP within IIS to
support some services that I need to provide and right now am unable to
do so so am "hog tied".
Although only a small site being able to provide the services required
for the organization is critical.. Win2K SBS has proved very stable and
reliable and the owners do not wish to change.. The old adage here.. "If
it ain't broke don't fix it and don't screw with it" is what they like.
The current environment meets their needs perfectly and has been highly
reliable. Now they wanna add an extra service that uses MYSQL and PHP.
So installing PHP is critical. Therefore some fix for them is important
or at least a practical workaround.
So yep there are Win2K servers out there and YEP a "fix" of some sort
would be good.
Thanks
