I am classic asp developer, now shifting to PHP, MySQL development. I am using windows OS for my development. I don't want shift on Linux ( this is personal choice , I don't want to get in debate of windows vs Linux ) .
I tried to install php and other stuff on IIS , I am slowly turning towards frameworks like Laravel.
So, is it good to use php under IIS than apache , what difference will it make if I dont use apache ..
EDIT
i just want know, will some feature will disabled under iis, and what will be difference for execution of php script under iis ,
There is no reason to use IIS with PHP. Apache is much easier to set up and much closer to any shared hosting environment you are likely to run your code on. I used to use IIS for my dev and it always drove me crazy.
I installed Apache on windows and I've never looked back.

I would like to install a web server with a database on a Raspberry Pi (little computer).
The computer has only 1GB RAM.
I want to know what is the best combination: Linux distribution and web server and DBMS to run the local server with multiple users with minimal latency, I will use PHP on the server. And what are the best settings for good performance and to not have bugs (memory usage, disable plugin, disable service, etc)?
I thought a light Debian , a lighttpd server and SQLite for the database. Is this is a good solution?
I think Lighttpd + SQLite is a great choice. For the linux distro, Debian is good but you could also look at CentOS or something like Tiny Core Linux, although I'm not sure of the compatibility with the Pi. Obviously, you can't go wrong with Raspbian
If you want to use this in production and get more stable performance, you could get a few more Pi's and set them up in a cluster.

I have a VDS(Virtual Dedicated Server) that Windows Server 2003 is installed on it. I want to use php and MySQL on my VDS. I have two options: 1-install wamp server as a web server or 2-install iis and then use php and MySQL on iis.
Which one do you suggest me to use?
Wamp is a great tool for development but it's not very secure and fast for production.
In my opinion, on Windows the best option is IIS, faster and more secure.
You can easily find some tests by searching on Internet :
https://groups.drupal.org/node/234373
I recommand wamp, more stable and efficient.

From what I understand, Apache (or Nginx) has been the server of choice (as well as it being installed as part of LAMP/WAMP/MAMP packages). However, the current installation instructions for Symfony (2.6) recommend using the built-in PHP webserver.
From what I understand, this has been in active development since php 5.4 and is making continual improvements. Could someone help give some perspective on this switch from Apache->PHP webserver?
Is to due comparable speed/efficiency/security
Is it more to do with simplifying the Symfony setup (and therefore
only really to be used for development servers)?
read the warning in documentation:
http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php
It is not intended to be a full-featured web server.
they don't intend to make the tool a webserver.
I recommend nginx with php-fpm

I'm trying to start php development for facebook applications. I have already had some problems configuring PHP and Apache.
Today I found a tool called EasyPHP. Is it recommended to use this tool for developing php websites and in particular facebook applications?
EasyPHP is a perfectly good solution as far as I'm aware, but I've never used it myself so I couldn't recommend it. I use XAMPP, but it's all down to personal preference.
It's probably worth taking a look at this question on SO, or this Wiki article comparing WAMPs.
xampp
XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP
and Perl. XAMPP is really very easy to install and to use - just
download, extract and start.
wamp for windows, mamp for mac, thats what I reccommend.
I'm using Visual-AMP, It's like the IIS.
WAMP, MySQL and pretty much any IDE.
Just follow the online instructions.
WAMP includes all the tools and extensions you'll need without needing to mess around with config files

i have installed Apache 2.2.x but when i turned to instal PHP V5.2.17 i didn't find the apache 2.2.x radio button in the web server setup step !! only the fast CGI,other CGI and don't install a web server radio buttons is appearing, what i can do ??
I suspect you're talking about windows. Lining up a proper build of apache, php module, etc is a bit of a pain, so unless it's for production, I suggest using WampServer or XAMPP.
Otherwise, the PHP modules are here if you really want to roll your own. Remember to match the PHP and Apache runtimes and word-size (32 or 64 bit).
