Did you also copy the 'libmysql.dll' into some directory within your PATH environment variable?

Which version of MySQL are you using?

Yea, thats why it gave me the error when I tried to use mysqli_*, so basically until I find the problem with it or upgrade MySQL Im not using PHP5. Ive got to learn how to design my scripts for PHP5 before i rush into installing it.

Sigh... I got an "Internal Server Error" when trying to view a phpinfo() page.

Edit:
Err, forgot to add: LoadModule php5_module "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\php\php5apache2.dll"

along with setting the proper extension (ext/) directory.

ETA of PHP5 on production servers?

Post by joven »

I currently consult on web development projects for small sized companies and would like to move to PHP5 but am concerned about its adoption rate at web hosting companies. Anyone have any idea how long it will take most hosts out there to upgrade? The way I figure it, unless I can use it on a production server its not much use to me.

I would guess it'll take up to a year for the bulk of hosts to switch... They'll probably wait until 5.0.2 or a little later is in release candidate phase..

I've had the exact same thoughts myself. I've currently been busy creating code that works on both versions mostly just to see if it can be done. It can (of course) but imho it is too much work for the result given.

I'm just glad that I mostly work in an closed enviroment where the systems are identical, speaking about PHP versions.

I however think that the changes between the older and this version will be faster than any earlier version change. This because there is so many wanted changes to it, that likely will speed it up. Alot of companies want the Java style coding abilities that I guess they now have more access to using PHP5. And if companies wants it, the hosts will adopt.

My 2 cents.
