Using VFP Ole DB in PHP on Windows Server 2012 R2

Just a quick note.

I was working on getting the Visual Foxpro Ole DB package working on a Windows Server 2012 R2 install. The package installed fine, but PHP was saying that it couldn't find the provider or it was setup incorrectly. As it turns out, vfpoledb.dll is 32-bit and needs the 32-bit version of PHP installed. Newer is not always better (or compatible) when it comes to outdated languages.
