Re: [INTERNALS-WIN] PHP for Win64?

Hi Pierre!

Thanks for your reply. I look forward to testing the Win64 binaries once there are released :)

Is the list on http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/libs updated? Most of the libraries there are "Y" for Win64.

Thanks,
Franklin

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?
