Summary: php crashes on start - getaddrinfo could not be
located

Package: Reproducible crash
Operating System: win32 only - Windows 2000 SP4

If you don't want to fix this, the system requirements for php need to
be adjusted and since you officially still provide support for windows
2000 in php 5.3 and are not planning to fix this, support should be
dropped aswell
Though i do find it weird that you provide support for a system but are
not planning to fix a bug that in effect makes sure that the whole thing
does not work at all on the OS in question

It won't happen. Stay with 5.2 if you need windows 2k support.

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.

"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.
