hello everybody,
I want to know what is the difference in installing PHP with SAPI module in IIS and without it.If I am trying to install without sapi then it does not work for me,it asks for some Security.But with sapi I am going fine.So whats happening actually,is it fine to get going with Sapi or it is better to be without Sapi.I am very new to PHP.I have just installed it in my WinXP machine with IIS.
Thank you
Saumya
what is the difference?

Since you are using Windows XP, its comes with IIS 5.1 which is not suitable for PHP though it'll work just fine. IIS 5.x has some majour bugs and moreover ther are lots of issues with PHP 5.0. I dont know if 5.0.3 has resolved these issues. IIS 6 is far better. But Apache is the best as its tailored for PHP.
Please read this : http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis.php esp the comments by other users.
Initially I too used IIS but now I've switched to Apache. I use IIS only for my ASP.NET pages.

My personal experience says that microsoft related products go well with microsoft related products only. If a third party thingy is involved then it just throws all sorts of tantrums.
so next time if a prod concerns microsoft use microsoft related prods only.
It'll save you a lot of hassles over compatibility issues.
