I have been trying to install PHP 5.3.6 on a clean install of Win2003, no dot net or anything else much installed. Unfortunately I have tried 'thread safe', 'non thread safe', installer file, zip file etc. but whatever I try PHP just doesn't seem to work. I have also installed Microsoft C++ 2008 redistributable as suggested on PHP site but still nothing.
Any suggestions on how I should actually be installing this properly. There seems to be vague and at times conflicting instructions on the PHPweb site.
Make sure that you have told IIS how to handle PHP files.
In IIS Manager, expand the tree and find web service extensions, then make sure you have a spot for PHP, pointing to the php dll.
then make sure that your MIME types are set up correctly. Right click your website under Web Sites, view properties, then the HTTP Headers Tab. Click the MIME Types button, and make sure you have an entry for PHP.
This is how we got it set up in IIS Manager. Hope it helps you too.
Further investigation suggests that PHP 5.3.x will only work with IIS using FastCGI; isapi is no longer supported hence the reason that PHP5isapi.dll is missing. Unfortunately FastCGI cannot be installed on IIS without first installing Microsoft Web Platform Installer which requires dot net to be installed first.
This is crazy, PHP are effectively insisting that dot net is a pre-requisite for PHP - madness!
And further investigation reveals I was wrong - it is now installed and working.
Download and install FastCGI from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=227219AA-6AEC-4B80-A9FA-76F811EE9E84&%3Bdisplaylang=en
This is a simple .msi install, no dot net required.
Restart IIS
Then download the NON Thread Safe PHP and install to IIS FastCGI Server option.
Now all working.
Here's how I installed PHP 5.3 on IIS 6 (running on Windows 2003 server):

This document is a little old and outdated but you should be able to use Web Platform Installer to install PHP on IIS6 for you.

I have recently installed Windows Server 2016 and I'm trying to get my IIS 10 set-up to create a site.
The PHP 5.6.30 installed just fine, but the PHP Manager 1.2, WinCache 1.3 for PHP 5.6 and CGI didn't install!
The dialog image:

I've tried setting the MajorVersion to 7 (and other values), but the installer still fails. I have .NET 4.5> installed.
as far as i know this addon/tool has not been working since the release of Windows Server 2012 R2.
i have still to find Another tool like it, but so far nothing has come up
though i have found this solution:
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-other_settings/php-manager-for-iis-on-windows-10/33ef32f0-6a86-4803-abc1-6de81110f9a8
(confirmed to work, just remember to restart the IIS manager)
PHP Manager requires .NET Framework 3.5 installed and may require a small hack in the registry as outlined here:
I was able to find a workaround at the PHP manager's site.
Just make sure you have .NET 3.5 installed and modify the following registry:
HKLM/System/CCS/Services/W3SVC/Parameters/MajorVersion
The value is 10 (Ax0). Just change the value to 9 (or 8), then try to install it again.
To avoid future issues with other IIS stuff, change back to 10 (Ax0). It seems that PHP Manager validates the value converting it into string or something related.
On my Windows Server 2016 machine for some reason the Web Platform Installer (downloaded from https://php.iis.net/) gave me a less recent PHP version (5.3.28) than yours, but all components were correctly installed, with the exception of PHP Manager (which I was expecting given it has been discontinued, and I didn't really care anyway...):
Also, if you want, you can install the components manually, by following this detailed post:
Steps to Install PHP manually on Windows 2016 server
It's really not complicated and it will give you a better understanding of what is not working, should that be the case.
With the help of above article I could also verify that the Web Platform Installer did not miss any important parts (modifying php.ini as required by extensions, setting environment variables, and so on).
Hope it helps.
We have several Windows Server 2012 R2 servers with PHP Manager running without problems (sorry Robert). I have just setup a new one and added PHP Manager and others by installing PHP 5.6 with Web Platform installer. The only thing needed extra was .NET 3.5. Have you tried to setup with .NET 3.5 installed?
When you try to install PHP Manager using the direct download link, the setup will ask you to install .NET 2.0. That isn't necessary :).
I have an application where i need to connect my web (PHP based) application with desktop application database so that both desktop and web can communicate with each other.
On ubuntu OS connectivity is working fine but when i comes to windows 7 codeigniter sql server connectivity is not working.
i tried visual c++ redistributional packages as well as other instructions provided on many platforms but fails.
i also added extensions in php\ext and dll files as well as include that extensions like sql_serv55_nts like that but nothing is working.
last error that i am receiving is
application not be run as php5.dll is missing .
can some one help to figure this out as soon as possible and can send me proper tested procedure for this.
As you say you have installed the sql_serv55_nts version of the SQLServer libraries, this is your problem.
Instead install the TS (Thread Safe) version of the SQLServer libraries. XAMPP on windows runs Thread Safe.
The php5.dll is the Non Thread Safe version of php5ts.dll which is supplied with the XAMPP install of PHP.
Once you install the TS version of SQLServer libraries delete the php5.dll it is not required, also you got it from a source that you cannot be sure is safe. A simple rule of thumb If it was required it would have come with the XAMPP install.
NOTE: You should never need to copy anything related to Apache/PHP/MYSQL into the Windows system folders. If you do, when you come to install another version of XAMPP it will still be there and will cause you hours of debugging to find out why you are having odd issues.
ALSO: It is also dangerous adding anything XAMPP or WAMPServer related to the Windows PATH as this will also cause you issues when you come to update XAMPP/WAMPServer as you are bound to forget that this was done.
Try adding your php directory and your php extensions directory to your PATH environment variables.
I resolved issue in following way.
Install xampp with php 5.5
install microsoft re distributional package
download php5.ddl file from php5.dll
if window is 32 bit than just copy downloaded php5.dll into windows/system32
if you have 64bit window than you need to copy it into windows/SysWOW64 too.
best is to restart your PC
All done......
I tried to manually set up a PHP, IIS enviroment on windows 7, but it didn't work. I tried it hard, but never succeeded.
What's the fastes and most sure way to set up php with IIS on windows?
You can use the Web Platform Installer from MS:
http://www.microsoft.com/web/gallery/install.aspx?appid=PHP53
Or php.net has instructions for installing php under IIS:
http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis7.php
Fastest way to install php on Windows servers is by using PHP Manager for IIS.
This will do all the manual stuff like installing php runtime, configuring the fastcgi for iis , make sure everything runs fine is check phpinfo() ,also makes it easier to enable/disable php extensions.
But doing manually as linked by other answers will teach you all the things this tool does automated.so if something breaks,It will be easy for you to fix it.
I know there have been some similar questions to this, but they haven't helped me.
I'm trying to install Wordpress 2.8.4 on my XP box, with IIS 5.1. I installed MySQL, and found that it was possible to install Wordpress through the Microsoft Web Platform Installer. After installing Wordpress (the install worked fine), I proceeded to the next step in the Wordpress installation documentation, which is to open wp-admin/install.php in your browser. IIS seemed to not be interpreting PHP, and when searching for the best way to install it, I saw that it is also available with Microsoft Web Platform Installer, so I installed it that way. However, my IIS isn't interpreting PHP still. I do not know what the problem is, but I'm going to reboot right now and see if that helps, as I didn't reboot after the install (even though it didn't say I have to). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Application mapping for .php extension to x:\php5\php-cgi.exe is needed.
Open properties dialog box of IIS's Default Website, and perform extension mapping.
I found a few related posts here but didn't get my answer. So posting again.
How would I install a PECL extension on windows? Say I want the PECL oAuth extension on Windows XP.
I know 2 methods, but none of them is working for me.
The site http://pecl4win.php.net/ is down for months. So I cant download the DLL. Is there any place we can download the DLLs from ?
running the command
pecl install oauth-0.99.9.tgz is throwing the error
The DSP oauth.dsp does not exist.
I tried with few other extensions also and getting the same error.
What am I missing here?
Releases can now be found here:
http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/
If you need an extension not available there you might ask on the pecl-dev at lists.php.net mailing list.
I got what I am looking for in http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/
Currently PECL for windows is in an odd reformation state. The reason being that I believe they are trying to provide VS2008 source versions. I would actually suggest using Zend Server for now until the windows half of the php group gets everything fixed up. Zend Server includes almost all of the extensions that you can find in PECL, and everything else, if you are lucky, you could find an compile yourself.
The PECL installer downloads the source code of the extension and tries to compile it with your local C compiler. The problem is that the whole process is designed for Unix systems, where a C compiler is available or can be easily installed. Setting an environment to compile C code under Windows is pretty complicate.
The ideal solution is getting a DLL file that someone already compiled. That's what the pcle4win site was for. However, there's currently no official repository to download PECL DLLs so you only have two alternatives:
Find an unofficial DLL somewhere in Google
Compile it yourself (another link) with Microsoft Visual Studio
It'd be cool that there was a DLL repository out there but I'm unaware of any.
The php source ships with a set of configuration scripts for windows (using windows script host) that mimics the autoconf tools as far as php is concerned. If you place the code for the extension in a directory under the /ext directory (where all the other extensions like bcmath, bzip, ... are located) you can let the buildconf-script create a makefile that includes the build rules for that (new) extension.
There's a step-by-step walk-through at http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild which seems to be brief but feasible.
