Yeah, I knew all that from following win-internals, and it's why I've been waiting for an announcement from Apache. The OP implies that newer versions of Apache use VC9 (well, that they do not need VC6). > Third party builds of both Apache and PHP are available for x64 versions > of windows for example and these do not follow the same over zealous > restrictions .... I'm also aware of these. As much as I would like a 64 bit version of Apache and PHP 5.3 on my Win2K3 server, I will have to live with the 32 bit versions until 64 bit versions are officially available. I have to be conservative for my servers and use official builds as I do not have the time, or know how, to do it myself. > -- > Lester Caine - G8HFL > ----------------------------- > Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact > L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk > EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ > Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// > Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php > > -- > PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > -- Niel Archer -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
