[PHP] Re: Moving to php
PHP is 99% (if not 100%) backwards compitable... PHP is even stable on WinME, and on XP.. Lots of ppl use it on 2k as well... Works fine.. And fast (well, depending on your installation and configuration)... Oh, and about support.. PHP on windows accutually have it's own official list/newsgroup (php-win or php.windows).. :) MySQL and PHP is very good friends.. :) -- // DvDmanDT MSN: dvdmandt¤hotmail.com Mail: dvdmandt¤telia.com ## Please, if you are using windows, you may be infected by Swen.

I have a few basic questions. 1. What is the predominate OS platform php runs on? Recommended? 2. I'm currently well versed in Win 2000 OS X. Are both Well supported? 3. When php comes out with a new major version (i.e. php 4 - 5), how backward compatible is it? Basically, will I need to do a lot of recoding each time there is a new version in order to upgrade? (This is the biggy.) 4. We are currently standardized on MySQL. I'm assuming MySQL is the database of choice or am I wrong? -- Jim -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Re: Moving to php
Well, yes.. But chanses aren't all that big you'll find any bugs (at least not windows specific), unless you try the w32api extension or bcompiler combined with zend optimizer... -- // DvDmanDT MSN: dvdmandt¤hotmail.com Mail: dvdmandt¤telia.com ## Please, if you are using windows, you may be infected by Swen.

Re: [PHP] Re: Moving to php
Cool.. Weird.. I've used PHP since 4.1.0, on windows ME/Apache 1.3, using streams, sockets, w32api, gd, classes, printers and more, never ran into any other problems that w32api and bcompiler combined with Zend stuff.. :s -- // DvDmanDT MSN: dvdmandt¤hotmail.com Mail: dvdmandt¤telia.com ## Please, if you are using windows, you may be infected by Swen.

You can use phpmyadmin to dump the database into .sql files and then use phpmyadmin again on the new server to import it. -- Owen Rudge http://www.owenrudge.co.uk/ http://www.gamearchive.uk.tt/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
