[PHP-INSTALL] PHP5 on Windows with Apache 1.3.29

[George Diamantopoulos]

Hey everyone,

I am just starting a fairly big web project and I decided to use PHP 
because it has become de-facto on most web hosting companies and PHP 5 
has some strong OO features which I like...

Anyways, I started by downloading Zend Studio Client+Server which 
mentions that you can select if you want to use PHP4 bundled or an 
existing installation of  PHP. However, when installing I never got such 
an option so I could pinpoint to my php5 directory.

Then I tried to go manually about it and installed apache 1.3.29. Then I 
loaded php5_module and so on. It seems to run with the default modules 
loaded but as soon as I add any of them stuff from 
pecl-5.0.0b4-Win32.zip I get a crash..

Ideally, I would like to setup Zend Studio Client/Server with PHP5 and 
MySQL but I can't seem to find documentation for any of this.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
