I initially thought that PHP does not run in x64 environment, but Wikipedia mentioned that "It(PHP) runs in both 32-bit and 64-bit environments" and the PHPx64 Project showed that it is true. So, if PHP can run in x64 environment, why isn't there a official binary distribution for Windows x64? We will provide x64 binaries (we did for the previous 5.3 alpha release), but win64 support is experimental and will not be stable in 5.3. The main issues are not necessary in PHP but in the 3rd party libraries, many of them do not support win64 yet. Cheers, -- Pierre http://blog.thepimp.net | http://www.libgd.org
