I'll clarify that, I smell confusion. In order to install PHP so that it could be run as one of several PHP installations, you would install to a single directory, keeping the .ini and all other files related to that installation together, and configure your server to point toward the installation that you're using at the time. It's MUCH easier to install for multiple installations than it is to do as Edin suggests.
However, if you want to run PHP as an Apache module rather than as cgi, the situation changes. In that case, Edin's solution is by far the easiest for beginners. -----Original Message----- From: Steph [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 21 June 2004 10:50 To: Jakub Vrana; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP-DOC] help needed with windows install part of the PHP manual Jakub: sadly, that's exactly what the consensus is NOT.
