Why don't you install PHP 4.3.4 directly? Why installing 5.0?

I'm guessing it's a "do not ask why, just do it" thing.

A simple page to see if it works would look like:

Code: Select all

<?php
    echo phpversion();
?>
As you are on windows, try to you download v4 and just replace all files (including the php.ini in the %SYSTEMDIR% (likely c:\windows\).
I guess it's just like upgrading, but using older files...
