Hi All,
"PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially
suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML."
PHP v5.2.0 beta 2 is now available from http://smedley.info/os2ports
This fixes some major problems with relative vs absolute paths that were
introduced in PHP 5.2.0
Thanks to those who reported the problems.
Cheers,
Paul.
