As of yesterday there is a installer for PHP 5: http://www.php.net/downloads.php > Do I thus install PHP 4.3.8? How then do I upgrade to 5.0? This is NOT > clearly spelled out at all. Please advise as to the steps to get PHP > installed on my Windows 2000 server? Using an installer is overrated, manual installs are preferred and not very difficult. If you want an installer that installs everything such as Apache, MySQL, and PHP, go here: http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Software_and_Servers/Installation_Kits/ IMHO you should install PHP 4.3.8 as it's more stable and tested, a good combination for a sysadmin newbie such as yourself :) As far as docs go, the packages come with install.txt and there is also a PHP manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php Each web server also has it's own install page. And lastly, PHP support questions go to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and not here. This list is for authoring the PHP manual but I couldn't resist replying this one time :) http://www.php.net/support.php Regards, Philip
