PHP 5.5+ is (from news)

- Windows XP and 2003 support dropped.

Does that mean no longer executes (as is seemingly what I'm seeing) or just
no longer supported/developed?

Just going to look into getting to the bottom of the CHM build issues and
only have an XP license of Windows.

Will drop back to PHP 5.4 to see if that's OK on the VM I have.

Hi,
It is only no longer supported/developed. It probably will compile fine on
it for a long time, though some new features might not. It probably also
means they are not going to test on XP/2003 anymore, and will not respond
to bugs related to these operating systems.

From what I can see, PHP V5.5.1 (just downloaded onto a clean VM) fails to
execute. But V5.4.17 works fine.

The precompiled version indeed does not work on XP/2003, but I think you
can still compile it yourself for windows XP.
