Accessing the administration set-up

[twurst]

I have successfully loaded osCommerce using localhost server and have gotten through Step 7 on the install. However, when I click the administration button I get this error: Fatal error: Cannot re-assign $this in C:\xampp\htdocs\catalog\admin\includes\classes\upload.php on line 31

 

The "catalog" button works and hits the ...\htdocs\catalog\index.php file which loads fine.

 

Thanks for any tips.

Ah... search the forum a little more and the answer is right in front of me. :'(

I was running on PHP 5 and had to switch to PHP 4 since 5 is not supported yet - apparently some differences in scripts. My XAMPP installation had an easy php-switch.bat file to run which made short work of updating the Apache config files. Everything is fine now.
