Re: PHP 4.4.8 for windows
I'm actually not sure they'll release 4.4.8 for windows. I suspect they've only released 4.4.8 for the sake of web hosts who haven't had chance to upgrade yet. The source was released over 3 weeks ago now... I couldn't imagine why they'd be waiting much longer to release a windows version

Today it is exactly three years ago since PHP 5 has been released. In those three years it has seen many improvements over PHP 4. PHP 5 is fast, stable & production-ready and as PHP 6 is on the way, PHP 4 will be discontinued.
The PHP development team hereby announces that support for PHP 4 will continue until the end of this year only. After 2007-12-31 there will be no more releases of PHP 4.4. We will continue to make critical security fixes available on a case-by-case basis until 2008-08-08. Please use the rest of this year to make your application suitable to run on PHP 5.
For documentation on migration for PHP 4 to PHP 5, we would like to point you to our migration guide. There is additional information available in the PHP 5.0 to PHP 5.1 and PHP 5.1 to PHP 5.2 migration guides as well.

I see.
I was hoping this new version would contain the latest version of the GD library.
Do you know how I could upgrade GD from 2.0.28 to 2.0.33 or 34

Re: PHP 4.4.8 for windows
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gd.htm have some packages.
Edit: Perhaps here too? http://www.libgd.org/releases/oldreleases/

Re: PHP 4.4.8 for windows
Thank you for the link.
However, there is no dll ready to use in PHP as far as I can see. I have downloaded the windows .exe file. This installed many files but I have no idea what to do with them.
It seems I have to build it using MSVC... What is MSVC?

Re: PHP 4.4.8 for windows
Ahhh, of course. Forgot about that, sorry. MSVC I think stands for Microsoft Visual C, neverless a compiler to create the binary. Perhaps you need to bookmark http://www.libgd.org/Downloads or upgrade the php-build youre using... Good luck tho.

Re: PHP 4.4.8 for windows
Yeah I'd probably look into downloading those PHP sources and compiling them yourself
I'm pretty sure they must compile under windows almost as easily as they compile under UNIX. Perhaps if you used cygwin you could just compile them following the UNIX compile instructions, although you may have a dependency nightmare doing so.
