["me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hey,

i just installed php, but when i double-click the php.exe icon, a command line window opens, but nothing happens.  where is my PHP development environment?  (Windows XP)  What should I see?  How do i open and start php?

I have never used php before, so this is my first time.  I installed it over the weekend.

i might be wrong but the --with-config-file-path
should point to a directory containing a file with the name like 'php-config'

Objet	development environment parallel to stable php install

Hi,

I'm following Sara Golemon's book Extending and Embedding PHP. Now
I want to 
have my development sandbox totally separated from my stable PHP 
installation. (I'm running Debian Lenny with PHP4 and 5 installed from
Debian.)

So I do
./configure --enable-debug \
            --enable-maintainer-zts \
            --disable-cgi \
            --enable-cli \
            --disable-pear \
            --disable-xml \
            --disable-sqlite \
            --without-mysql \
            --enable-embed \
            --prefix=/var/builds/php5_3 \
            --with-config-file-path=/var/builds/php5_3/etc

So the only difference to the book is, that I give the --prefix 
and --with-config-file-path options. Now after 'make cli' and 'make install'
I have my first problem. PHP does not load a php.ini located 
at /var/builds/php5_3/etc/php.ini. 

The next problem comes after compiling the sample extension from the book:
Warning: dl(): ical: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20060613, debug=0, thread-safety=0
PHP    compiled with module API=20071006, debug=1, thread-safety=1
These options need to match

I did use the phpize from my custom PHP build!

/var/builds/php5_3/bin/phpize --version
Configuring for:
PHP Api Version:         20041225
Zend Module Api No:      20071006
Zend Extension Api No:   220070929

Does somebody has any hints on my two issues?

Best regards,
