php4_installer

php4_installer download and installs PHP 4, the PECL extensions, the PHP Manual (English) in Windows Help (CHM) Format, and the Zend Optimizer, which are available at http://www.php.net, and http://zend.com.

php_installer also performs the following:

• copies php.ini-recommended to php.ini and sets the following settings:

  extension_dir="C:\Program Files\php4\ext"
  error_log="C:\Program Files\php4\logs\phperror.log"
  upload_tmp_dir="C:\Program Files\php4\uploads"
  session.save_path="C:\Program Files\php4\sessions"

• Adds the following variables to your environment:

   PHPRC=C:\Program Files\php4

• Adds the installation directory to your PATH environment variable. On 32-bit systems, this directory is usually C:\Program Files\PHP. On 64-bit systems, this directory is usually C:\Program Files(x86)\PHP.

php_installer looks in the directory where php_installer.exe is for any files it needs before attempting to download them. If it does download a file, it will attempt to save a copy of the file in this same directory.
