Is there a 64 bit version of Chart Director for Windows?

Hi Eric,

Currently, there is no ChartDirector for 64-bit PHP on Windows, because there is no official pre-compiled 64-bit PHP on Windows. See:

http://windows.php.net/download/

As PHP is open sourced, everyone can compile 64-bit PHP himself. However, like many open source software, PHP compiled by on different computers, with different compilers, or with different options, can be binary incompatible. Even on the official pre-compiled PHP, there are two incompatible versions for download (for the non-thread-safe and thread-safe options). Also, PHP is compiler dependent. (In the officical web site, they have VC9 and VC6 editions, which are binary incompatible.) So in practice, it is difficult to support non-official compiled PHP because everyone can compile PHP with different compilers using different options, and they can be binary incompatible with each others. That is the reason why there is no ChartDirector for 64-bit PHP on Windows.
