Ensight supports PHP 5 from version 3.0.3 onwards. Here are a few handy tips for upgrading to PHP 5.

New/modified php.ini settings:

• You can now set register_long_arrays to Off if you no longer use $HTTP_* variables in your code

For MySQL users:

MySQL's libraries are no longer bundled with PHP from version 5. For Windows installations of PHP 5, you will need to do the following in order to connect to MySQL:

• uncomment the line: extension=php_mysql.dll
• copy the file libmysql.dll from the php install directory into C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINNT (your Windows directory)
• click here for additional MySQL support

Windows CLI installation changes:

• /cli/php.exe is now php.exe in the php install directory
• /php.exe (the old CGI version) is now php-cgi.exe
• /php-win.exe is a GTK version - don't touch this

You will also need to install a new Zend Optimizer
