Hi,

I have only just joined this list so apologies if this has been asked
before.

I have Windows 2000 Servers currently running PHP 4, some with the ISAPI
module and some with the CGI module from the installer program.

What is involved in upgrading these? For example, for the ISAP version do I
simply point the sites to the new version 5 ISAPI?  For the exe version do I
simply run the setup program to upgrade from 4 to 5.

Admittedly I use Apache, but you should be able to simply point to the new ISAPI / CGI. For the most part backwards compatibility is maintained, but the new object model can cause headaches. You should check out this article from Zend:


http://www.zend.com/php5/migration.php


Finally, is PHP.ini different from PHP 4 to 5 and between the ISAP and exe versions?

Definitely... you'll just have to dive into the new ini file to see the new parameters. AFAIK none of the functionality for the old directives has changed, but there are some new ones that you should check out.



Thanks very much.

Regards,

Adrian.
