Installing PHP
I'm not sure if this belongs here or not, sorry if it doesn't.
Has anyone installed PHP on win 98 SE so it works with PWS ?
I need HELP and to be honest I have no idea what I'm doing, anyone brave enough to help me through this?

hi busy,
personally, i've had little/no experience with php. but i searched php.net and got this:
Download Installer: http://www.php.net/downloads.php
....no idea. try the links anyway.
Installation Manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.iis.php
i suppose you download the installer for iis/pws and then.....
it looks like pretty much what you need for now.
good luck

Thanks but thats where I ran into problems, the install and help files say different things.
I figured since the regedit file was involved I should seek help while I could lol
When trying to open a .php file from PWS i get:
"HTTP Error 403
403.1 Forbidden: Execute Access Forbidden
This error can be caused if you try to execute a CGI, ISAPI, or other executable program from a directory that does not allow programs to be executed.
Please contact the Web server's administrator if the problem persists."

hi again,
just in case you didn't know:
to make a directory executable, open the PWS window, go to the "Advanced" area. then select the directory which you want to make executable, and click on "Edit Properties". tick the "executable" box. also check that "scripts" is ticked.
:)
hope it helped.
