There has been many complaints abt phprc3 - Access violation at xxxxx.
This happens when using Windows IIS any ver. Just wanted to know if anyone here has tried the new php5 on IIS and still found errors or not.

php5 makes me groan and think oh no - two codebases to support. But not for a while yet.

What's wrong with checking at bugs.php.net to see what the status of this bug is. Also, this really is an issue for the developers list no?

Hows everyone doing with the upgrade? So far its been ok for me, on windows.. I am scared to put it onto my Production Linux Box though, as I am running a live site on it. What are the issues with upgrading, I have already looked over the code changes and such, but actual implimentation onto my box and switching over to that codebase... it sounds daunting and scary.. Any comments?

I've got php5 running on my local apache2 webserver. It was a fairly painless installation, are you having problems?

I sincerely hope you mean 'bug reports' and not 'complaints'. Release candidate software is put out there so people can try it out and hopefully provide useful feedback both by way of commenting on new features and additions and by filing bug reports. It is not been put out there as safe, secure and reliable production software.

If that is the question you would like an answer to then that is the question you should have asked, not 'Has anyone here tried php5 on Windows ?'. If you ask the wrong question you will get the wrong answer.

I have yet to install the release of PHP5.0.0 on Linux, however I have RC2 running on Linux with no real problems.

I wouldn't imagine that anyone would blindly install on a production server without at least carrying out some of their own testing. My advice would be to install it into a seperate directory from where your current PHP version is.

You would have to change some code, well for me a lot. I installed it yesturday and any mysql_* call was an undefined function and the php_mysql extention wasnt working for me so i had to run php_mysqli. I tried to change my mysql_*s to mysqli_*s but it sed i was trying to emulate the mysql_* functions or something like that. Guess you have to read up on the changes and change your code to PHP 5 standards.

Luckily for me i would just change one .inc file, probably would be easier if i was able to do OOP.

Prolly not, but your best bet is to run a test box side by side. Also, backwards compatibility was a high priority so the bulk of things that you've done in P4 will work in P5. Some of things that may fail have to do with your level of reliance on OO and if doing anything unusual with it.

But whatever the case, allways test.

PHP5 does not come with MySQL support built in. That does not mean that you have to change any code, merely enable the mysql extension or compile PHP with MySQL support.

I know that. The php_mysql extention didnt work for me, only the php_mysqli did.
