No php-switch.bat file

[bvoltz]

I just finished installing using xampp 1.7.0 and applyed the patch, and as I'm going to test with oscommerce, it requires php4, and I do have a php-switch.bat file, I have done a search on the computer and the only file found was php-switch.php. What am I doing wrong?

You are doing nothing wrong, it's just that there is nothing to switch to.

php4 is not included in 1.7.0 because it is no longer supported by PHP - php6 will be stable soon so it is time for osCommerce to upgrade their scripts to work with php5, but I thought they had already.

You would need to install an older XAMPP version, 1.6.8 for example, that has the switch bat file and php4 to switch to from php5.

Check out the XAMPP For Windows home page for a link to older versions at the SourceForge repository
