[ms4w-users] Does the ms4w version support PHP 5

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Greg,

Glad to hear that you had a nice clean install on a Windows2000 box (we 
recently had some worries about this version of windows).

Well the mapscript that comes with ms4w works only with PHP 4.x.  I 
haven't tried to upgrade ms4w's php to 5, but if you already have, then 
you could grab the php5 mapscript binaries from 
http://www.maptools.org/php_mapscript/index.phtml?page=downloads.html 
(see "Development Version" at the bottom of the page).  Only 
mapscript_45 is available now however.

hope that helps


jeff
