WAMP5 1.0

Apache 1.3.31
PHP5.0.0
SQLitemanager
MySQL 4.0.18
Phpmyadmin

size : 15 Mo

WAMP5 will allow you to discover all the PHP5 new features :

Objet support, SQLite built-in, SimpleXML, exceptions…

WAMP5 is build with standard conf files and most of the extensions

Here’s a quick example which should probably work first time on Win 2000 / Win XP.

1. Download PHP 5 and unzip it somewhere (e.g. C:\php-5.0.0 - you need to create this directory!)

2. From a command prompt;

C:> cd php-5.0.0 C:\php-5.0.0> regsvr32 php5activescript.dll

That’s it. Now the fun begins.

Create a (plain HTML) web page like;

<script language="ActivePHP5″> $document->write(’<h1>Output generated by ‘. phpversion(). ‘ [’.php_sapi_name().’]</h1>’); $document->write(’<p>Available objects</p>’); foreach ( array_keys($GLOBALS) as $global_var ) { if ( is_object($GLOBALS[$global_var]) ) { $document->write($global_var."<br>"); } } </script>

View the page in IE and away you go (you should see a list of objects you’d normally use from Javascript).
