Description:
------------
As I try to run a simple php script ie.:

<? print('Hello world!') ?>

I get this strange error

Server error!
Error message: 
Premature end of script headers: php.exe 
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster 
Error 500

It's an error from the apache 2.0 webserver

I traced it back to it's core, and it seems that there is a DLL missing in the last download, namely "iconv.dll"

The distribution I downloaded was:
php-5.0.0b1-Win32.zip

Reproduce code:
---------------
<? print('Hello world!') ?>

Expected result:
----------------
Hello world!

Actual result:
--------------
Server error!
Error message: 
Premature end of script headers: php.exe 
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster 
Error 500
localhost 
07/24/03 14:21:52 

and running php.exe as executable gives:

Application termination

because iconv.dll is missing

It's not bug. iconv.dll can be found in the dlls/ folder in the release package.

You simply have to put all the dlls in PHP\dlls into your Windows\System32 directory!
-> it should work then

you can either put them into your PHP folder, I think
