Hello Travis.
I've done a lot of work on this extension recently. I'm only building
it for 5.3.4-dev. I've not got any tests for it either.
I don't have VC6 (only VC9 Express Edition), so I can't build it for
5.1.6. As it is really only of use in a CLI environment, it hasn't
been tested/compiled for ISAPI or a thread safe SAPI either.
As far as I know, the current code has never been compiled for 5.1.6.
Rather than upgrading PHP, why not just use 2 versions of PHP?
PHP5.3CLI+Win32Service+whatever extensions you need just for the
service side of things.
Keep it all in an un-PATH'd location.
Use registry to load separate ini file for PHP versions on the
services machine and be careful about using new functionality in your
code if it is going to be cross version.

The dlls available from http://www.php.net/~pierre/ are going to be
for a very old version of the extension. It may be perfectly suitable.
Unfortunately, as there is no release, only trunk has been documented.
There is no changelog entries in phpdoc, but if you look at the commit
history on
http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pecl/win32service/trunk/win32service.c?view=log
for revision 304478 onwards, you can see the additional work I've
completed.
If you don't need the later facilities, then the pre-compiled binaries
by Pierre would dictate which version of PHP you could use for the
services.
Richard.

No problem. If you find anything not working, please report it.
If you need any help, then let me know. OOI, where was the
pre-compiled binary for 5.1.6?

Aha. Thanks for the link. Good luck.

Hi Pierre,
It's more of a learning exercise and to test x64 on Windows. I can't seem
to get libiconv and gettext to compile for a past few days, even the older
versions 1.11.1 and 1.15 , respectively, having the makefile.msvc. I'll try
the support their respective support lists.
Thanks for your help,
Tommy

Hi Pierre,
It's more of a learning exercise and to test x64 on Windows. I can't seem
to get libiconv and gettext to compile for a past few days, even the older
versions 1.11.1 and 1.15 , respectively, having the makefile.msvc. I'll try
the support their respective support lists.
Thanks for your help,
Tommy
As far as I know libiconv and gettext both require patches to the source
of current versions to get them to compile, they're also libraries that
are VERY resistant to windows fixes being pushed upstream.
Good luck!
Thanks,
