The latter is new to PHP 4.0, and provides -significantly improved performance and some new functionality. However, -please note that the ISAPI module is *NOT* yet considered to be production -quality. The reason for this is that the PHP ISAPI module uses the -thread-safe version of the PHP code, which is completely new to PHP 4.0, and -has not yet been tested and pounded enough to be considered completely stable, -and there are actually a few known bugs. On the other hand, some people have -reported very good results with the ISAPI module, even though we're not aware -of anyone actually running it on a production site. In short - your mileage -may vary; If you need absolute stability, trade the performance of the ISAPI -module with the stability of the CGI executable. - - -Requirements ------------- - -- Windows 95 or later, Windows NT 4.0 or later -- ISAPI 4.0 compliant Web server required for ISAPI module (tested on IIS 4.0, - PWS 4.0 IIS 5.0). IIS 3.0 is *NOT* supported; You should download and - install the Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack with IIS 4.0 if you want native PHP - support. -- Windows 95 requires the DCOM update, freely available from: - http://download.microsoft.com/msdownload/dcom/95/x86/en/dcom95.exe - - -Installation ------------- - -Unlike PHP 3, PHP 4 is divided into several components; Even when you use -PHP in its CGI mode, php.exe is no longer a standalone executable, and relies -on external DLLs for execution. For this reason, if you install php.exe as -a handler for your web server, you must make sure that the DLLs in the -distribution exist in a directory that is in the Windows PATH. The easiest -way to do it is to copy these DLLs to your SYSTEM (Windows 9x) or SYSTEM32 -(Windows NT) directory, which is under your Windows directory. -The DLLs that need to be copied are MSVCRT.DLL (it may already exist in there) -and PHP4TS.DLL. - -Installation Notes for IIS 4.0 and 5.0 --------------------------------------- - -- Install the DLLs as mentioned above. -- If you wish to change any defaults, copy either the php.ini-dist or - php.ini-optimized files into your Windows directory, and rename it to - 'php.ini'. You can then modify any of the directives inside it. -- Start the Microsoft Management Console (may appear as - 'Internet Services Manager', either in your Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack - branch or the Control Panel->Administrative Tools under Windows 2000). -- Right click on your Web server node (will most probably appear as 'Default - Web Server'), and select 'Properties'. -- If you don't want to perform HTTP Authentication using PHP, you can (and - should) skip this step. Under 'ISAPI Filters', add a new ISAPI filter. - Use 'PHP' as the filter name, and supply a path to the php4isapi.dll that - is included in the distribution. -- Under 'Home Directory', click on the 'Configuration' button. Add a new - entry to the Application Mappings; Use the path the php4isapi.dll as the - Executable, supply .php as the extension, leave 'Method exclusions', blank, - and check the Script engine checkbox. -- Stop IIS completely (you would have to stop the IIS Administration service - for that - stopping it through the Management Console isn't good enough; - You can do it by typing 'net stop iisadmin' on a command prompt). -- Start IIS again (you can do it by typing 'net start w3svc' on a command - prompt). -- Put a .php file under your Web server's document root and check if it works! - - - -Installation Notes for Microsoft PWS 4.0 ----------------------------------------- - -- Install the php.ini file and the DLLs as mentioned above. -- Edit the enclosed PWS-php4.reg file to reflect the location of your - php4isapi.dll. Forward slashes should be escaped, for example: - -[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w3svc\parameters\Script Map] -".php"="C:\\Program Files\\PHP\\php4isapi.dll" - -- In the PWS Manager, right click on a given directory you want to add PHP - support to, and select Properties. Check the 'Execute' checkbox, and - confirm. - -At this point, PWS should have built-in PHP support. - - - -Adding Extensions ------------------ - -A few pre-compiled extensions are included in this release. You can load them -by adding a line like the following to your php.ini file: -extension=path\to\extension\extension_name.dll -Loading these extensions extends the functionality of PHP to support more -functions and protocols. -Note: MySQL support is *built-in* as of PHP 4.0. You don't need to load any - additional extensions in order to use the MySQL functions. - -Good luck, - -Zeev <zeev@zend.com>, Andi <andi@zend.com> [June 25, 2000] |
