[Xitami] php and xitami

Skip all they say about PHP-CGI

Use this to make it work..

In defaults.cfg  add the following...

[Filter]
#   
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
.php="c:/php/php.exe"

[Mime]
    php=application/x-httpd-php

Change your default index settings as follows...

    default1=index.php
    default2=default.php
    default3=index.htm
    default4=default.htm
    default5=index.html
    default6=default.html
    default7=404.htm

In default setup of PHP 5 on Windows you should be aware of the following.

a)    $_POST[$VarName] WILL NOT WORK
       $_SESSION[$xVar]  WILL NOT WORK

they are turned off by default and should be so as well since they pose 
security risks.

b) The workaround for this is included below

==========================================================================
A replacement function for $_REQUEST as this does not work at all out of
the box on XITAMI web server. I was seriously thinking of making it a
somwhat permanent fixture in my PHP arsenal by adding a $_ infront of
the name but that would not fly to well in some languages I bet.
