Bizarre problems using PHP 4 on Windows IIS after install

Post by mjseaden »

Dear All,

As my host provider has let me down again by not having PDFLib installed, I need to continue working on my site until they install the module or get back to me telling me that they can't.

I've therefore installed PHP 4 onto my computer (WinXP using IIS). When PHP is installed, it successfully reports that 'IIS has been configured successfully'. However, when I try and run PHP scripts locally, IE quits! Just disappears!

Can anyone tell me what's wrong or point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,

Mark

instead of using the pdflib. try fpdf class. Its a free PDF class that may suit your needs. No idea why IE quits. Have a look at the log files in the
control panel > admin tools > computer management > event viewer

Bastien,

Thanks very much for the link - I'll try FPDF. It looks good from what I've seen of it, doesn't cost any money, and is free for commercial purposes. Great.

Many thanks
