Switch to Linux ;) Seriously ... the problem is not simply with PHP. You need a compatible version of Apache as well - if that is your preferred web server. http://www.apachelounge.com/viewforum.php?f=10 is the home for that until such time as it becomes available in the main stream sites. Personally I've only just got Vista64 running, but I'm only planning on 64bit Linux on production sites, as many of them will not allow Vista in any form. Windows7 is another can of worms, and I don't see my customers worrying about it any time soon. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
