In my opinion this nicely demonstrates (again) why everybody should
install PHP by hand instead of using an "easy" prepackaged
all-in-one-plus-more solution, unless you fully understand it.
It actually costs time in the long run to use "easy" solutions.
Installing PHP by hand isn't that hard, and you learn a lot about the
set-up.
What did you learn now?
Old setup isn't "working", new one with EasyPHP is.
So what? What does that mean?
Why did the old setup not interpret/find your path the way you intended?
I dislike such "solutions" (but I am glad for you it works now).
You should wonder: What you will do when another piece of code doesn't
work as intended?
Will you switch to yet another "easy php install"?
Regards,

PS: I have no experience with EasyPHP at all, so maybe it is great.
