[Phpwebsite-developers] How do I check these things?

[<bo...@el...>]

I am trying to build more tests into the diagnostics of 
ask_install.php.   The more diagnostics we have the less time we 
spend chasing down things that look like bugs but are really 
installation or configuration errors.

If I knew how, I would check for these conditions:

1 PHP v4.0.6 or higher ?


2 PHP session support compiled in?


3 register globals set to ON ?

4 PWS Version, to identify need for upgrade.  Compare existing 
version of schema to version of files.


If anyone can tell me how to do these checks, I'll add it to the 
code.    

Also, if anyone has other ideas of things I could check for.  Please 
include the code snippet to do the check, if you can.

At this point, it checks to see if the password has been changed from 
the default in config.php (indicating the config file has not been 
changed) and for correct directory "write" permissions.
