No HTTP_POST_VARS on 4.0.4pl1 install

[Anon]

Hey,

I've installed php 5 or 6 times now on Linux machines alone and once on Windows. I've never had many issues until this time around. I was using 4.0.5 first, but all it would compile is the cgi executable. No "libphp4.so"! So, after giving up on it, I went to 4.0.4, which for some reason isn't supporting HTTP_POST_VARS! WHAT!?!

So here are the questions...
1. Running ./configure --help doesn't provide any clues as to how to compile for the apache module or the cgi or both. So how do you do it? Or, does php normally create both?

2. In all the previous installations of PHP, I never typed in anything at the ./configure line stating support for HTTP_POST_VARS, yet it was allways there. What could've changed, or did or didn't I do this time around?

Comments and ideas will be very appreciated as I have work to do and this isn't helping me get it done.

Thanx in advance,
Big Din K.R.

I just noticed something else. Shouldn't there be a php.ini somewhere in the file system? It doesn't exist in this installation.

WHAT!!??

I would like enable socket support into PHP 4.0.5 version under Windows (Apache).
Fsocket functions are supported.
I read PHP Help, I found how to install it under the Linux only, nothing is said about the Windows version.
Please somebody help me 🙂

php can function just fine without a php.ini. It just assumes all the defaults for the configuration directives. I ran a server for a long time without one until I added the Zend optimizer to my system.
