Check to see if

register_globals = On

95% of the PHP v4.2.0 errors of this nature are the fact that its turned off by default and you should learn to script without it. But if you feel you still need it turn it on.

To get 4.2.0 running on apache2 just add these lines below the other loadmodule lines:

LoadModule php4_module modules/apache2filter.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

And move apache2filter.dll out of php's experimental dir and into apache's modules dir. I had some path problems, and moving the dll solved it.
