 Posted: Tue Aug 26, 2003 8:17 pm Post subject: Don't use PHP 4.3.3, it is buggy [4.3.3 is now OK] |
 |

Hi all,
Early today, PHP guys released a new version 4.3.3. And as the last time, it is buggy: Any PHP file will generate an error 500 on the server. The reason is that this new version seems to not send any CGI headers! So the server kills it and returns error 500 to inform you that the interpreter (PHP) is not behaving according to the standards.
So you'll have to go back to the previous version until the problem is fixed on their side.
A link on PHP version 4.3.2 is available on the "Adding PHP support" page at http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/php.html .

It seems that the Windows Installer of PHP contains the CLI version of PHP instead of the CGI version. This can explain the problem.
CLI stands for Command Line Interface and is the name assigned to the PHP version that runs interactively.
CGI is the PHP version that is made to run with web servers.

The Zipped package of PHP 4.3.3 is OK. That means, if you know how to install PHP from it, you can use it without any problem.
We reported the bug to the PHP team (see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25260) and they acknowledged that there was a real problem with their Windows Installer package of PHP 4.3.3. A fixed version will be available soon.
vortex_core, you say that you are having problems with 4.3.2. What kind of problems?

4.3.3 works fine for me. NEVER use the windows installer to "install" php because it will never work. THIS GOES FOR ALL VERSIONS OF PHP.
Always always always use the zip file and not the installer. |

If you use the installer on the version that I posted , you will be fine.

Yes it seems OK (the correct CGI php.exe should be around 44 KB).

Hello!
IŽm new to Abyss Web Server and I think its Great!
I have got PHP 4.3.3.3 on it. I used the .zip Package. When I build in my Scripts a if (file_exists("./users/file.php")) { echo"Yes"; } else { echo"No";}
It returns No but the file exists and the adress is correctly.
I think its a bug in PHP 4.3.3 but the function worked in PHP 4.3.2...
iŽll install the 4.3.2 version of PHP. lets see what happen :D |

If the code works on 4.3.2 but doesn't on 4.3.3, you should report the bug to the PHP group (http://www.php.net)

I have not tried ANY version of PHP - but found this link on their site - has archived copies of EVERY previous release - in the Win32 directory is all versions (incl betas) in both zip and msi format
