[TYPO3-50-general] Problems with PHP5.3alpha on windows

[Tim Eilers]

Hi folks,

here is another recommendation for the windows users:

i recommend you to use the package provided here:
http://downloads.php.net/pierre/ and not the ones provided at
http://snaps.php.net/
I had to setup my development enviroment again today and apache crashed
with the latest snapshot and it it didn't with that "pierre" package.

Finally one addition to the browscap tip: I disabled it by commenting
the line in the php.ini. I didn't really find out what it does until
now. But FLOW3 runs fine without it, so i don't waste my time with that.


Cheers,
unfortunately-back-at-home Timmy.
