Thanks Eric.
This constant PHP_OS doesn't give the OS version number. I don't need that
at this moment, but it would be useful to distinguish. OS funtionality can
change as much from one version to the next as from one platform to another.
How do I go about submitting this as a feature suggestions for PHP?
BTW, while it is true that PHP_OS appears in the manual, it's meaning is not
defined anywhere. The following man pages:
/manual/en/reserved.constants.core.php
/manual/en/reserved.constants.standard.php
list a number of predefined constants, but don't say what they mean, nor
what if any function they are associated with. Isn't that kind of important?
A hyperlink from these lists of constants to any associated functions would
be quite useful. For example, take a guess at "EXTR_REF". I'm sure PHP
experts know the answer, but what about those of us learning the language.
For the latter I'd like to submit a documentation suggestion. I'll try
forwarding this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

John,
I've talked this issue over before with some of the PHP
development/documentation team. Most of them seem to think that all of
the constants are self explanatory. If you search for EXTR_REF in the
manual search, it shows http://www.php.net/function.explode where there
is an explanation for it. As for the version number... I think there is
something in the $_SERVER variable. Check you’re a phpinfo() page to
find out. Hope that helps.

Hi all,
I would like to install GD for PHP under W2000. I have got the GD source and
the PHP source downloaded. How can I compile them? I dont have any C
compiler. In all of the manuals the compiling procedure written for Linux
instead of Windows.
Thanx in advance
Franz

Its a lot easier just to download the pre-compilled version of PHP. The
extended package also contains the .dll used for GD.
PHP 4.3.1 Zip Package can be downloaded from
http://www.php.net/get/php-4.3.1-Win32.zip/from/a/mirror
The installer does not come with GD to my knowledge, hence why you must
download the zip file. Good luck
Stephen

I downloaded and recompiled the source with MS Visual Studio 6 with eapi
defined, but the resulting dll is exactly the same, and apache still gives
warnings and crashes under load.
