A pain because you have to add stuff from various sites which were once all bundled on php.net ... most definitely yes A download of PHP5.2.x simply works out of the box on windows ... currently some of us have to jump through hoops to create a downloadable windows build of 5.3 that our customers can use. The problem is quite definitely because of the quagmire of library versions that exist on windows and as yet my own customers are only just talking about loosing W2k so many of the newer versions are not necessary. But we DO need a clean source of the 'new' format windows builds and that is something Pierre obviously does not have the time to provide, hence the proliferation of builds from other sites rather than direct from windows.php.net -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
