I was trying to follow the instructions in the video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wrla_4D5_Fg
to install Apache 2.4.6 and PHP 5.5.1 on Win XP 32-bit.
I downloaded this file:
http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/php-5.5.1-Win32-VC11-x86.zip
and I followed the video's instructions exactly. Apache works and I can access the Webserver. However, when I type:
php -m
at the command prompt I get this error:
php.exe is not a valid win32 application
What would cause that to happen and PHP to not execute on the server?
Thanks! |

| And even if you compile PHP 5.5 with VC9 it will not run on XP. XP and Windows 2003 aren't supported anymore. The last version for those OS's is PHP 5.4.17. |

Ah, that is good to know. Thank you!
So I would need to switch to Win 7 to use PHP 5.5?
I just downloaded 5.4.17 and it works!  |
