PHP version

Post by Koji »

Wish they would tell the newbie which one of these ( if either one ) he should download to start using PHP.

Does anyone here know if one of these is the right one for the newbie to start using? If so which one.

PHP 4.3.1 (tar.bz2) [3,596Kb] - 17 February 2003
md5: bbfe584acb3549c62bb61355165e2ca6

PHP 4.3.1 (tar.gz) [4,395Kb] - 17 February 2003
md5: d4a34efe145b43ed10dbd95825686065

They are the same. Only compressed using different programs.

tar.gz - compressed using tar and gzip
tar.bz2 - compressed using tar and bzip2

Read on the Web:
Bzip2 mini-HOWTO

Type on your system's console:
• # man tar
• # man gzip
• # man bzip2

If you are trying to extract the file content on win, use WinRAR (http://www.rarlab.com).

Cheers,
Scorphus.
