    XAMPP is a software package, you'd have to ask support from them about installation. THis thread was for installing Apache, PHP, MySQL. Each being separate items, not installing through XAMPP or any other meta package like that.

    i am using xampp.....i am not anle to run phpscripts...my php version is 4....it is saying something like "something wrong with installation"...when i referred the net,it says that some path has to be changed in .conf in apache to php..i cant follow that...can anyone elaborate on that?

      Once again, ask on XAMPP's forums. This thread deals with installing the individual parts of the "AMP" installation (Apache, MySQL, PHP). We don't offer support for specific packages. I don't use XAMPP or WAMP.

        Yes, but then you would be using the command line interface, and that may not be what you want for verifying web application code to check if it is working.

        With the CLI you can check for syntax errors. But just because there are no syntax errors doesn't mean the code will run as expected

          Whoever you are who created this thread I adore you. I spent the day trying to get this service up and running and I now have it good to go. Excellent job on the instructions and very good work. I am deeply indebted to you.

              Hi all,

              I use Yorick and Emacs under Windows, but I was unable to launch Yorick from a shell under Emacs like in Linux . Do I miss something?

              Thanks

                      i recently went up to php 7 , a bit late and it wasnt really crucial for me , i found that it has many backwards compatibility issues with my old coding 🙁 . Just a word of warning to anybody considering the jump , and yes this is mainly due to non standard methods of coding. Also Php 7 has taken a big knock out of legacy coding.

                        Yup. I know sites that are still using 5.3 because they're too scared something will break if they upgrade (unit tests? what are those?).

                        It pays to read through the relevant migration [man]appendices[/man] before upgrading (the backward incompatible changes and the deprecations), and to know your own code so that when you do read you can say "Oh, I'm doing that, and I'm still doing that, and I'll need to do that".

                        You probably won't catch everything. I'm pretty sure I don't remember everything I've done in a program. And any changes you do in clearing out obsolete code will need to be tested for their own sake. Basically, you'll need to retest everything again anyway, and there probably will be a lot of issues. But forewarned is forearmed.

                        As a compromise: do the upgrade, do the testing, and if it blows up in your face, then hit the manual to find out what could have happened. The upside is that it's faster if everything happens to go off without a hitch; the downside is you miss out on a chance to find out about things like, say, anonymous classes, or associative array destructuring. Often, when something is deprecated, it's because a better alternative has been added. Depending on how long it's been since the last upgrade, the alternative might not have been available back then and it would be good to know about it for this upgrade.
