php installer question
Posted: Thu Nov 07, 2002 4:23 pm
As seen on php.net, they have a php installer.
But there is a warning on the page saying that its not asecure installation and would not be recommended on any web servers.
But when i read the instructions for the installer, it says there is an advanced mode that asks questions as it goes along.
Im using a win2k server and need to set it up for php. So i think i need to install mysql as well.
Keep in mind i am a newby in every aspect of the word when it comes to php and mysql.
Basically, my question is, why is the installer insecure for web servers, even in advanced mode?
