I think mssql.dll is now a seperate download, not sure though as I primarily use MySQL. I don't think it is too early to upgrade to 5.3, but you need to keep in mind that 5.3 is the biggest change for PHP on Windows/IIS in several years. It is not an abitrary upgrade, and you'll need to put some effort into testing to ensure it is going to work for you.

Hi,

Yes, thank you! Short_Tags variables in the PHP.INI was off :)... so I thought that it didn't work where in fact, it was working.

However, I have still issues regarding mssql .dll file which is missing in the ext folder. I guess it is too early to migrate to 5.3.X yet?

siiiv:

When surfing into my php.php file, containing :
<?
phpinfo();
?>

It shows up as text! :(

You need to ensure you php files are tagged correctly, or enable short tags in php.ini. Change your code to;

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

I also just noticed PHP 5.3.0 has no MSSQL support yet, no .dll comes with it! Back to 5.2.X. :D

I have installed CGI ( CGI Role ).
I got PHP in "C:\Program Files (x86)\php"
In IIS manager, I go to "Handler Mappings"
I "Add module mapping"
Extension : *.PHP
Module : FastCgiModule
Executable : "C:\program Files (x86)\php\php-cgi.exe"
Name : "PHP Non Thread Safe"

Then I hit "OK", and it asks about enabling it where I answer "YES".

I also restart IIS just to make sure.

When surfing into my php.php file, containing :
<?
phpinfo();
?>

It shows up as text! :(

What am I missing here?

PLEASE HELP! I have been trying to get this thing work for 4 hours now. :/
