I installed PHP 4.2.3 on a Win2000k server with IIS 5.0. The installation did not complete saying that I needed to finish configuring PHP manually because of a missing OCX. I followed the install.txt in the PHP directory.
PHP scripts seem to work mostly. I can assign variables, read from files, etc.
But, when I try to use an envronment variable, REQUEST_METHOD, I get an undefined variable error.
I can run phpinfo() and REQUEST_METHOD is listed and has a value. I compared the phpinfo() otput to output from a webhost that my script works on and found nothing that would seem to cause the problem.
Any clues?
