PHP 4.2.1 Installer & IIS5

[Anon]

Hi,

Using the latest PHP installer on a Windows 2000 Server results in a "missing OCX control" notice at the end of the installation process.

The "install.txt" continuously jumps between different Webservers, so it is hard for me to find out which manual settings are required to set up IIS5.

After adding the Application mapping ".php" to "C:\php\php.exe" a test.php file works (calling phpinfo()). However, my own scripts do not get any URL-Variables passed.
E.g. http://localhost/var.php?a=5 does not result in a variable "a".

Any Ideas what part of the configuration I am missing ?
(Same installation on an XP-Machine works - because the OCX Control (which one ?) is found and the configurations happens automatically)

Try $_GET["a"] instead of $a and read about register_globals in the php.ini

I got the same 'OCX missing' message when installing PHP 4.2.1 on Win NT 4.0 and IIS 4.
I ended up downloading the ZIP file and doing a manual install.
