Description:
------------
On the page http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.manual.php there is written: "If PHP is used with Apache 1 or Apache 2 then choose PHP 5.3 VC6 or PHP 5.2 VC6." But I think this is old information which is no longer correct.

At the Apache Lounge http://www.apachelounge.com/ they have already the new version Apache 2.4. I think that it is not correct that this new Apache-version must work together with the old VC6 versions of PHP. The newest VC6 version that I could find is PHP 5.2.17. But this version is of March 2011.

Moreover PHP 5.2.17 could not work correctly together with a newer MySQL-version. (MySQL Community Server 5.5.18). The program phpMyAdmin (phpMyAdmin 3.4.7.1) told me that.

If I want to use a new Apache-version and a new MySQL-version, I must use a version of PHP which is newer than PHP 5.2.17. And I believe that Apache 2.4 is indeed made for newer version of PHP! The admin of Apache Lounge said to me that I could write an error report to you!

On your webpage http://windows.php.net/download/ is written on the left side:
"VC9 versions of Apache can be fetched at Apache Lounge." I think this information is newer. And this is correct, I think!

I'm gonna close this as we do not support VC6 or 5.2/5.3 anymore, so I don't think we need to have this info anymore in the docs

Actually, this issue had already been fixed in the meantime, and
the docs now state[1]:

| Download the most recent version of ยป Apache 2.x and a fitting
| PHP version.

So I'm marking as closed instead of won't fix.
