Certainly you can run php without the ini file, but then everything goes to default. If you want to set your own parameters for php, then you need the .ini file. For example, if you want to load the interbase dll when php runs, then you need to use the 'extension=' line in the ini file. You can, if you want, load it later in code, but the ini file will make sure it gets loaded right at the top. Without the ini file, you have no other choice than to do it all in code. >And into the httpd.cong file of Apache what is the utility of adding >the row: >LoadModule php4_module c:/Webshare/Scripts/php/sapi/php4apache.dll There is no reason to add the loadmodule line (that I know of) if you are using the scriptalias wording. It's an 'either/or' thing. As for myself, I'm using the loadmodule method rather than the scriptalias method. My php.ini sits in the windows directory, and is used properly by php. I run the extension directory from under the php directory, and I have an alias (not a scriptalias) set up in httpd.conf that tells apache where the php scripts are. Everything seems to be working as it should. >if php4 is loaded automatically by Apache from c: ? Apache only loads php if it is told to do so. Either 'loadmodule', or scriptalias. The way I understand it is that if you use the loadmodule line, php is loaded when apache starts up. The other way, I it loads when it's needed (guesswork, really, on my part). >I solved my problem after following some advices only reinstalling >PHP on drive c: >I installed PHP into: > >c:\Webshare\Scripts\php > >I think that there is a bug. PHP4.0.4EasyWindows works fine only if Sounds to me like easywindows is more trouble than it's worth. >Thank you for being been a nice interlocutor and for its positive >effect for my problem solving. My pleasure. Truth is, I'm pretty new to php myself, and I ran into problems getting it set up too - doing it on my own and trying to get it running a little differently than the docs suggested. I think I understand it a bit better now, and I've got it set up so that I can run it under either Apache or PWS without having to do anything other than bring up the right server. I wish I'd discovered this mailing list a bit sooner myself.
