installing PHP 4.

[lfabbric]

Do you need to have apache installed to run php 4. I have installed php 4. and I can't seem to get it to work.

Please Help

You need a web server, Apache is one of the more popular choices. You can download a windows version from http://apache.org

Here's a tutorial on how to get Apache and PHP4 up and running on Windows and non-Windows.

http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/...tw=programming

That page doesn't mention how to install PHP4 as a module though, which is recommanded.

Although PHP4 will still work when not as a module, it's not as speedy, to get it as a module, do the following:

Edit Apache's httpd.conf, add this line along with the rest of the LoadModule bit:
LoadModule php4_module modules/mod_php4/sapi/php4apache.dll

Add two Path to the Path-Enviroment

c:\Apache\modules and
c:\Apache\modules\mod_php4

- In Windows NT/2k, just right click on MY COMPUTER and look for "ENVIRONMENT"
- In Windows 9x, START-->RUN-->SYSEDIT, and modify the autoexec.bat to add these paths

That's assuming that you're installing PHP4 at c:\Apache\modules\mod_php4

i was able to set up the Apache server, I used PHPTriad, it installed the basic things I needed but now I am getting these 2 errors. And it is having trouble finding mysql.

error1:
The procedure entry point XML_ParserCreateNS could not be located in the dynamic link library xmlparse.dll

error2:
Unable to load dynamic library ',/extensions/php_sablot.dll' - The specified procdure could not be found.

Thanks in advance.
