Hi,
I am trying to piece together the minimum requirements to run PHP 5.0.4 for both hardware and software. Will it run on IE 3.0, IE 4.0, IE 5.0? Do I need at a least a pentium? If someone can help or point out a webpage/reference it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad

Well actually the browser has no bearing on compatibility... it's the server you need to think about.
I can tell you now... the specs will be very very low (I'd guess it will run on a Pentium 133 with 16MB RAM)...
What operating system? Linux/Unix or Windows?
I'm sure it must be on php.net someplace.

My boss wants me to narrow down the req's for sw/hw for Windows and Mac's, both served by (at the moment) WINDOWS 2003 server (but we are getting a new SUN Fire V20z server, with possible solaris installed) so that when they get ready to launch the site their can be a page with req's available.
Thanks,
Brad

What you're saying doesn't make much sense. PHP doesn't run on the client machines *at all*. It runs on the server and makes HTML pages*. All the clients need to do is run a web browser such as IE or Firefox.
So the minimum spec for running PHP - Anything that can run a web server.
Minimum spec for the client computers - Anything that can run a web browser.
* On a basic level. It can do a lot more, obviously.
