PHP and beyond...

[skiflyer]

Hi all, working on a new program, and I'm not 100% certain yet... but I'm fairly convinced I'll be going with a LAMP setup for final product, though much of the production will be done on windows machines.

I'm hoping for some sort of pre-beta release in about 6 months.

So, I'm going straight to php 4.3 cause I've used it and I like it, I'm going to start with Apache 2.0 keeping 1.3 in mind in case I run into some problems... but I'm new to MySQL, and not sure if I should start with 3.23 or 4.0... any advice, any significant differences? Also looking for any general pointers about whatever I've said.

Sorry for being a bit off topic, and thanks much for any advice.

-Rob

I've had good success with PHP 4.3, but difficulty getting it to play well with Apache 2.0.

Apache 2.0 works well, but not all modules have been ported to it, yet. Take a look at what you're going to have to do before you decide.

MySQL 4.0 is described on the MySQL website as gamma-level software. For the time being, unless you need the new features provided by version 4.0, I'd stick to version 3.x. Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:
