"since you officially still provide support for windows 2000 in php 5.3"
No, we don't.

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."
