When i switch from PHP5 to PHP4 i lose all my security settings and i am no longer able to sign into PHPmyadmin When i try to switch back again i can no longer enter PHPmyadmin is there something i need to do to be able to use PHPmyadmin with PHP4.

It has always worked fine even with the switch here....

If you've customized httpd.conf or php.ini, those changes might be lost when you switch between PHP 4 and PHP 5. XAMPP uses different copies of those files for the different PHP versions.

i have never had to customise any of the files, however it does remove the security details from within xampp
