This section contains notes specific to the ActiveScript installation. ActiveScript is a windows only SAPI that enables you to use PHP script in any ActiveScript compliant host, like Windows Script Host, ASP/ASP.NET, Windows Script Components or Microsoft Scriptlet control. As of PHP 5.0.1, ActiveScript has been moved to the PECL repository. &pecl.windows.download; You should read the manual installation steps first! After installing PHP, you should download the ActiveScript DLL (php5activescript.dll) and place it in the main PHP folder (e.g. C:\php). After having all the files needed, you must register the DLL on your system. To achieve this, open a Command Prompt window (located in the Start Menu). Then go to your PHP directory by typing something like cd C:\php. To register the DLL just type regsvr32 php5activescript.dll. To test if ActiveScript is working, create a new file, named test.wsf (the extension is very important) and type: ]]> Save and double-click on the file. If you receive a little window saying "Hello World!" you're done. ActiveScript doesn't use the default &php.ini; file. Instead, it will look only in the same directory as the .exe that caused it to load. You should create php-activescript.ini and place it in that folder, if you wish to load extensions, etc.
