[RESOLVED] PHP 5.1.4: Crash & Burn

[lobobr]

Greetings.

I've recently upgraded my PHP to the 5.1.4 version and I'm experiencing problems. Here's what I did:

• Renamed C:\PHP (original folder of the older version) to C:\PHP.old
• Extracted the 5.1.4 version zip file to C:\PHP
• Adjusted the settings on php.ini to be exactly the same I've used in the older version (extensions, display_errors, etc... nothing complicated enough to cause this behaviour).
• Restarted the system (Windows XP Professional)

PHP is running fine with my Apache (2.0.55), but it crashes horribly when I try to do any of the following:

• Stop Apache (this is really weird, since it doesn't crash when I start Apache)
• Try to use PHP in the command-line mode, meaning in a DOS box.

But when I run a web page made in PHP it works without any problem...

One thing that I've checked is if there was any other php.ini in my machine. It doesn't, and phpinfo() echoes the php.ini file used in the right folder.

Doen anyone here had any similar experiences?

Is there a solution?

Please help me.

TIA,

Do you have any old php 4 dll files laying around in any system folders? Are you loading possibly incompatible olders php extensions in the ini? Thats all I can think of.

Problem solved: The cause was the php_tidy extension, which is weird, since the dll for this extension is shipped with PHP...

Anyway, thanks, jdorsch!
