Dan, Steve has this correctly summarized for the simplest way (at least
for me). I have set up Drupal on my Windows computers for over 2 years
now, ranging from Windows NT, 2K as well as XP home and professional.
Using PHP 4.3.6 in most of my installations, I only had to do the
following:
1) Copy some dll file (If I recall correctly by head, it is php_ts.dll)
to the windows/system32 folder
2) Copy php.ini to the Windows folder
3) I had to edit php.ini to set "register_globals" to ON
hmmm this is off in all recent php installs I've done - there are
security issues with register_globals I believe. And I don't think
this will affect the stuff I'm trying to set - I will probably give it
a shot just for fun. FYI - I've got PHP, MySQL and Drupal running just
fine - just want some extra memory.
These instructions were included in the installation instructions for
PHP 4.1.x that I once used, not sure if it is included in the latter
versions.
Another plan I tried recently, which also worked was to install PHPDEV,
a full PHP/MySQL/Apache package that is available for download here:
http://www.firepages.com.au/
yup. I may turn around - kill the whole install and start fresh.
Thanks for your help.
Good luck and HTH!

I haven't done this, but one workaround would be to try setting the
variable in the .htaccess file in your drupal directory. You should be
able to add a line like
php_value memory_limit 32M
to the various php variable overloads in the section that begins with
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
# If you are using Apache 2, you have to use <IfModule
sapi_apache2.c>
# instead of <IfModule mod_php4.c>.
if you've used the default .htaccess file. I have no idea how this
would play out on a windows system, however.

I know it can be done. But I'm no genius with Windows. (I agree that
it
is a piece of cake getting it running on Linux.) All I can think of
is
the php.ini has to be in the windows directory, not just in the php
install dir, so you might check that out.

Sorry if this is considered off-topic - but I've been trying to get
some
Drupal (4.6) work done and have been beating my head against this all
day
-
I'm having a wierd problem. I'm setting up my laptop (winxp home) to
do
some dev. work - I have previously installed apache 1.x and PHP
4.3.10.
I can't get the "memory_limit" ini setting to "take". It is clearly
(and I believe correctly) set in my ini file -
memory_limit = 8M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may
consume
(8MB)
Which is the default when you set up PHP. When I do a phpinfo() it
simply doesn't report anything - doesn't show up. Other variables
can
be set in that ini file and they do show up.
I have tried to manually set it but that doesn't work. I try this:
print "here I am: ".ini_get('memory_limit')."</br>";
print "here I am: max size: ".ini_get('post_max_size');
and I can see post_max_size but not memory_limit. I have tried with
both the cgi and dll flavors of PHP. I deeply suspect a stupid MS
trick. HELP!
Needless to say everything is working fine in linux land - I just
got
done there in 2 minutes what I have spent all day doing so far - but
I
would like to be able to work on my laptop (no jokes about
installing
linux on my laptop please - I've had enough today already).
Thanks in adavance,
Dan
