Hello, Secunia classifies the program hereabove as "vulnerable". Going to the site PHP, I've found 2 versions of PHP 5.3, VC9 x86 or VC6 x86 and I don't know at all which one I should download in my particular case, being admitted that the program is only needed to manage the data exchange between the PC and the uninterruptible power supply. Thank you for helping. My config: Windows XP SP3 -- GianniDeLuca |

| Hi, The choice of which of the two versions to use rests with the user - Secunia only recommends a specific version of PHP, not an edition. The VC6 and VC9 editions have different purposes, but either of these edition in version 5.2.14.0 should be secure. However, here are some instructions from the PHP.net site that I hope will be helpful: (unknown source) Which version do I choose? If you are using PHP with Apache 1 or Apache2 from apache.org you need to use the VC6 versions of PHP If you are using PHP with IIS you should use the VC9 versions of PHP VC6 Versions are compiled with the legacy Visual Studio 6 compiler VC9 Versions are compiled with the Visual Studio 2008 compiler and have improvements in performance and stability. The VC9 versions require you to have the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x86) or the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x64) installed Do NOT use VC9 version with apache.org binaries If you are still unsure about which edition to choose, just post back , and I will see if I can help. hope this helps. |

Hi, Thank you for your answer. I had already seen the comment on the Internet site of PHP and was no more secure about the answer. In fact, the problem arouse in the way hereafter. After desinstalling Php 4.... , classified "end of life" by Secunia and replacing it with the automated icon of Secunia, I've got the 5.2 version that Secunia qualifies now of "unsecure"... Moreocer, I have got to day an icon flashing "Localhost:inaccessible"at the bottom right of my screen. Is it related to the first change? May be it's time for me to stop playing with this suggested type of change ;-) and let PHP live its own life. -- GianniDeLuca |

| Hi, You need to install version 5.2.14, or you will still be Insecure. Which icon is flashing "Localhost:inaccessible"? Is this related to the PSI, or other Secunia products? I suggest that you contact the vendor of your UPS system, and ask him/her which version is supported by this UPS/script. hope this helps. |
