This section applies to Windows 98/Me and Windows NT/2000/XP/2003. PHP
will not work on 16 bit platforms such as Windows 3.1 and sometimes
we refer to the supported Windows platforms as Win32. Windows 95
is no longer supported as of PHP 4.3.0.
Once you have PHP installed on your Windows system, you may also
want to load various extensions
for added functionality.
The Windows PHP installer is available from the downloads page at
http://www.php.net/downloads.php. This
installs the CGI version of PHP and for IIS, PWS,
and Xitami, it configures the web server as well. The installer does not
include any extra external PHP extensions (php_*.dll) as you'll only find
those in the Windows Zip Package and PECL downloads.
Note:
While the Windows installer is an easy way to make PHP work, it is
restricted in many aspects as, for example, the automatic setup of
extensions is not supported. Use of the installer isn't the preferred
method for installing PHP.
First, install your selected HTTP (web) server on your
system, and make sure that it works.
Run the executable installer and follow the instructions provided by the
installation wizard. Two types of installation are supported - standard,
which provides sensible defaults for all the settings it can, and advanced,
which asks questions as it goes along.
The installation wizard gathers enough information to set up the php.ini
file, and configure certain web servers to use PHP. One of the web servers
the PHP installer does not configure for is Apache, so you'll need to
configure it manually.
Once the installation has completed, the installer will inform you if you
need to restart your system, restart the server, or just start using PHP.
| Warning |
Be aware, that this setup of PHP is not secure. If you would like to have
a secure PHP setup, you'd better go on the manual way, and set every
option carefully. This automatically working setup gives you an instantly
working PHP installation, but it is not meant to be used on online servers.
