Here are the part which you need:

    LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4a



   ScriptAlias /php3/ "c:/php3/"
   AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
   Action application/x-httpd-php3 "/php3/php.exe"

   ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
   AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php
   AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4
   AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4c
   Action application/x-httpd-php4 "/php/php.exe"
//-----------------------------------------------

I did a easy example, that works with both API's!
<?php
echo "bla";
?>
http://www.wenpas.ch:8080/bla.php4c
http://www.wenpas.ch:8080/bla.php4a

And here  the other example:
<?php
	phpinfo();
?>
http://www.wenpas.ch:8080/phpinfo.php4a
http://www.wenpas.ch:8080/phpinfo.php4c
http://www.wenpas.ch:8080/phpinfo.php3
http://www.wenpas.ch:8080/phpinfo.php4
http://www.wenpas.ch:8080/phpinfo.php

The ends .php4a and .php4c are only for you to testing.
c = cgi
a = apache (php4apache.dll)

The Problem is not solved!
I yesterday install the new version 4.2.1 on my WinXP, but the Problem is hier again!
phpinfo() don't work fine! And same websites with mysql work only fine when I browse the Site from local! But from extern I recive output with same wrong characters like x-  `wH?   ????h'!
CGI-Installtion work fine!

When you updated, did you also update the php4ts.dll ??
And are you sure you only have ONE of those in your system?

Yes I only have one and the right 'dll'!

To reduce the points where it might be breaking, could
you try and comment out all the extensions you're loading
in php.ini ? (and of course stop/start Apache again)

is this Bug-Report ( http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=16698 )
the same Problem as I have?

then the Problem is by Microsoft!
see:
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/#xpbug
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q317949

I try anyway in the next days to config the server with the original config-File and only the minimum of changes for PHP?

Did you try that fix from Microsoft? And what about the
latest non-stable snapshot of PHP?

This is not a PHP or Apache error, or at least not completely. It seems that MSIE is the main source of the problem. I am experiencing similar problems with MSIE6 (in Windows XP) but no problems at all with Netscape 6.2. I am using PHP 4.2.2 and Apache 2.0.39, which I also used on my old Windows 2000 machine; it never gave me any trouble even though I also had MSIE6 on it.

I tested http://mvirtue.myip.org/test/index.php posted by mvirtue@zip.com.au [22 Mar 12:24am], and it produces the same errors in MSIE but works flawlessly in Netscape.

Because I prefer MSIE as most people do, I would like to know if anyone has the updated AFD.SYS file mentioned in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q317949 because Microsoft does not offer it freely for some reason. Seeing as this problem occurs only in MSIE6 and only with WinXP I think that update could solve the IE problem.

Thanks,
Matt

Download Windows XP Service pack 1a
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/servicepacks/sp1/default.asp
It works!

Hi,

I experienced the same problem today with :
- Apache 2.0.50 (win32) and
- PHP 4.3.4
- Windows XP SP1 + all critical updates

I got desperate and eventually changed the httpd.conf file entry where you specify the Load Module line :

- Instead of using php4apache.dll

... I noticed that there is another similar file in the folder called php4apache2.dll.

So I edited my line to read :
LoadModule php4_module "c:/program files/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll"

... and now Apache starts correctly and PHP works perfectly.

Not sure if I did something wrong in this but it works so I am smiling (for now ?)

Cheers,

Jeremy.
