php.exe is the cli and its doing what it should do: nothing, if you gave it nothing. :)
Youll need Apache or IIS (Id suggest you already start with Apache) to get it working. As youre in Windows, you should look for PHPTriad, EasyPHP, WAMP[P?] and stuff like that, they already install Apache+PHP+MySQL/PostgreSQL in one shot and you can start playing around. Look for some php basics on the web, and if you need: just ask around :) Welcome! _o/ Regards, Thiago _____ De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviada em: quarta-feira, 30 de abril de 2008 10:03 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: php-install@lists.php.net Assunto: re: [PHP-INSTALL] I Can't Open the PHP Environment hey, i just installed php, but when i double-click the php.exe icon, a command line window opens, but nothing happens. where is my PHP development environment?

Thomas Koch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 30/04/2008 10:50 A php-install@lists.php.net cc Objet [PHP-INSTALL] development environment parallel to stable php install he Hi, I'm following Sara Golemon's book Extending and Embedding PHP. Now I want to have my development sandbox totally separated from my stable PHP installation. (I'm running Debian Lenny with PHP4 and 5 installed from Debian.) So I do ./configure --enable-debug \ --enable-maintainer-zts \ --disable-cgi \ --enable-cli \ --disable-pear \ --disable-xml \ --disable-sqlite \ --without-mysql \ --enable-embed \ --prefix=/var/builds/php5_3 \ --with-config-file-path=/var/builds/php5_3/etc So the only difference to the book is, that I give the --prefix and --with-config-file-path options. Now after 'make cli' and 'make install' I have my first problem. PHP does not load a php.ini located at /var/builds/php5_3/etc/php.ini. The next problem comes after compiling the sample extension from the book: Warning: dl(): ical: Unable to initialize module Module compiled with module API=20060613, debug=0, thread-safety=0 PHP compiled with module API=20071006, debug=1, thread-safety=1 These options need to match I did use the phpize from my custom PHP build! /var/builds/php5_3/bin/phpize --version Configuring for: PHP Api Version: 20041225 Zend Module Api No: 20071006 Zend Extension Api No: 220070929 Does somebody has any hints on my two issues?
