PHP4 on Win98

[Anon]

Is it possible to install PHP4 on Win98? If so, what software are required to install?

Is it a good combination?

CWin98 SE + Apache + PHP4 + MySQL


According to some reports, there are some limitation if PHP4 is run on Win98, do you know what are the limitation? Are they so critical? Or they are just some minor functions?

I would appreciate any comment and advice, thanks.

There are many limitations but you can put it to work and play around with it, you just have to download the binary file from www.php.net and then read the install section on php docs, it's quite simple to install it on win98 + apache, i'm just not sure about mysql but is probably you only hace to load some dll and configure your php.ini in order to run set up mysql correctly.

Hi'.. I'm from Indonesia,.
So .. forgive me if my english is not good enough..

I've install PHP4 ,Apache, and MySQL for Windows on my Win98 System and so far its running well for the three of it.
I only have one problem, My PHP is not recognize php scripts which has .php3 extension. I don't know whether its because my apache config that is wrong or any other wrong possibilities,.

Hey don't worry.. it's very simple just edit http.conf file located usually on c:\program files\apache group\apache\conf and then look at directive AddType application/x-httpd-php .php, you should just add another line containing AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3

It should work.
