using isapi on nt 4

[Anon]

I have followed the install instructions for using PHP 4.05 as isapi, on NT 4, IIS 4. Everything works well. Then I tried to add an ISAPI filter after reading an article on Oreilly site, and I can't restart the IIS service without a Dr. Watson error.

Do I need the isapi filter? If so, what benefit is it?

Thanks,
Brian

Use PHP.EXE rather than the ISAPI filter/extension. I have encountered the same problems trying to get IIS to run with it. ISAPI loads in-process to INETINFO (IIS) and is the fastest way to extend the web server. Unfortunately, I've never seen a correctly working version of PHP's ISAPI supported. So my recommendation is to use PHP.EXE (CGI version). Since it is so small, it's image is cached by NT and is therefore still very fast.

Thanks, that's what I'm doing, but I just wondered if anyone has made the isapi work.
