This is my first time to try and download PHP.
I go to downloads on this site.
Choose php 5.2.x windows binary
3 mirror sites are given for the UK
on choosing one I expect to download that version of PHP
instead i get a page that simply states http 403 error and indicates an access denial.
this occurs for all 3 mirror sites.

using IE vs 7

this is all that happens.

When you say "php 5.2.x. windows binary" you mean the 5.2.1 zip package?
Could you post the exact link you are trying to access?
(all the 5.2.1 links work for me, on all three mirrors - using ie7)

to bjori

it is php 5.2.1 binarie zip 8 Feb 2007
click on this and goes to the:
choose mirror site for download page. 3 UK sites
uk.php.net camel
uk2.php.net         camel
uk3.php.net fubra

all give me the http 403 page
(just tried 15.04 UK time)
is there anything to do with my IE settings??
downloaded mysql OK. am very perplexed

Please post the exact url you are trying to access.

If you have another browser installed (firefox for instance), then 
please try it.

aargghh, have same problem trying to download firefox.
i agree to conditions and then get the 'dreaded' http 403 message. must be something to do with my IE setup. Im using the default setup. any ideas???
 [2007-04-01 17:06 UTC] bjori@php.net
I have absolutely no idea what is wrong with your setup.
Please contact microsoft support.

problems found to be due to Privacy settings within zone alarm. They need all options to be enabled for the site you wish to download from.
