hi guys
i tried the VC-9 version of PHP 5.3.6 with the "Unofficial WampServer Version 2.0j-32bit" and it works! in the phpinfo there is a line "Compiler MSVC9 (Visual C++ 2008)" so it is really the vc9 version working.
the unofficial wampserver (pampserver) can be downloaded here:
[
sourceforge.net]
home page: www.pampserver.com
for those who want to add the php 5.3.6 version to the pampserver, do this:
0) at first, stop wampserver and make sure it is not running
1) download this [
windows.php.net]
2) in "c:\wamp\bin\php\" create a folder "php5.3.6" and extract the downloaded zip file into this folder
3) in any folder with the previous version of php 5.3, find files "php.ini" , "phpForApache.ini" and "wampserver.conf" (eg. in the folder "c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.3\" )
4) copy these 3 files into the new "c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.6\" folder
5) now in the new "c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.6\" folder, find files "php.ini" and "phpForApache.ini" and open both files in any text editor
6) replace all occurences of "5.3.3" (or the version number you copied those files from) with "5.3.6" and save
7) go to the "c:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.17\bin\" folder and delete file "php.ini"
8) start wampserver and in the menu PHP -> Version select 5.3.6
9) voila! now you can open your localhost and see the phpinfo() page and check out the php version
