----
PHP 4.0 for Windows comes in two flavours - a CGI executable (php.exe), and an
-ISAPI module (php4ts.dll). The latter is new to PHP 4.0, and provides significantly
-improved performance and some new functionality. However, please note that the
-ISAPI module is *NOT* yet considered to be in production quality. The reason for
-this is that the PHP ISAPI module uses the thread-safe version of the PHP code, which
-is completely new to PHP 4.0, and has not yet been tested and pounded enough to be
-considered completely stable, and there are actually a few known bugs. On the other
-hand, some people have reported very good results with the ISAPI module, even though
-we're not aware of anyone actually running it on a production site. In short - your
-mileage may vary; If you need absolute stability, trade the performance of the ISAPI
-module with the stability of the CGI executable.

Requirements
------------
- Windows 95 or later, Windows NT 4.0 or later
-- ISAPI 4.0 compliant Web server required for ISAPI module (tested on IIS 4.0, PWS 4.0
- IIS 5.0). IIS 3.0 is *NOT* supported; You should download and install the Windows
- NT 4.0 Option Pack with IIS 4.0 if you want native PHP support.

- Windows 95 requires the DCOM update, freely available from:
http://download.microsoft.com/msdownload/dcom/95/x86/en/dcom95.exe
on external DLLs for execution. For this reason, if you install php.exe as
a handler for your web server, you must make sure that the DLLs in the
distribution exist in a directory that is in the Windows PATH. The easiest way
-to do it is to copy these DLLs to your SYSTEM (Windows 9x) or SYSTEM32 (Windows NT)
-directory, which is under your Windows directory.
-The DLLs that need to be copied are MSVCRT.DLL (it may already exist in there) and
-PHP4TS.DLL.

Installation Notes for IIS 4.0 and 5.0
--------------------------------------
- Under 'ISAPI Filters', add a new ISAPI filter. Use 'PHP' as the filter name,
and supply a path to the php4isapi.dll that is included in the distribution.
- Under 'Home Directory', click on the 'Configuration' button. Add a new entry
- to the Application Mappings; Use the path the php4isapi.dll as the Executable,
- supply .php as the extension, leave 'Method exclusions', blank, and check
- the Script engine checkbox.

- Stop IIS completely (you would have to stop the IIS Administration service for
that - stopping it through the Management Console isn't good enough; You can
do it by typing 'net stop iisadmin' on a command prompt).
-- Start IIS again (you can do it by typing 'net start w3svc' on a command prompt).
+- Start IIS again (you can do it by typing 'net start w3svc' on a command

- Put a .php file under your Web server's document root and check if it works!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w3svc\parameters\Script Map]
".php"="C:\\Program Files\\PHP\\php4isapi.dll"
-- In the PWS Manager, right click on a given directory you want to add PHP support
- to, and select Properties. Check the 'Execute' checkbox, and confirm.

At this point, PWS should have built-in PHP support.
