phpdev upgrades
Please note that Upgrades are only expected to work if you have phpdev423 or higher (does not include phpdev5 beta versions)
PHP 4.3.0 for phpdev423 users
download (5.5.MB)
4.3.0 is here so you may as well use it, just remember that some functionality new to 4.3.0 (streams etc) will not be available on most hosts for at least a month or so, and a lot longer for other hosts (I actually saw a working PHP2/FI `host` the other day!)
The NSIS instaler simply overwrites your PHP directory and attempts to alter your php.ini to remove now defunct extension calls (GD and zlib are bundled by default there is no longer any need to load the extension)
To work the installer looks for your phpdev.ini file (created by the phpdev423 installtion) which should live in your c:\WINNT\ or C:\windows directory (depending on which you have)
If the installer can not find your phpdev.ini!
You can create one in c:\WINNT\phpdev.ini (or c:\windows\phpdev.ini) with the path to your PHP directory as the contents, i.e.
c:\phpdev
thats it nothing else, save and try the installation again.
If when you restart apache you receive errors about not being able to open certain modules (assume GD & zlib) then run the c:\phpdev\430_upgrade.bat file which will reconfigure your php.ini.
further problems should be directed at the forums
