I'm trying to find PHP to install on a windows server machine (x64), but don't seem to find it on http://windows.php.net/download.
A ftp link would be helpfull thank you.
PHP doesn't natively support 64 bit Windows yet... depending on which web server you're installing with you'll want 5.3:
Apache - VC6
IIS - VC9
Note: There are unofficial PHP x64 versions out there for Windows - but who can recommend that ;)
I am running PHP5.3 VC6 Thread Safe from php.net (using it with Apache) on Windows Foundation Server 2008. No problems with that.
There's only officious support for PHP x64.
You can compile it yourself. You'll need to follow these instructions and download the dependencies.
There are also pre-compiled binaries.

The dll founded here :
http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/pthreads/
contain a x64 version only for php 5.5.
PHP only started distributing x64 binaries with the 5.5 series of releases, for an x86 build before that you are pretty much on your own ...
Hint: apache friends is a good place to look for builds of PHP and the apache/php stack in general, someone is bound to have what you are looking for ...
I used easyPhp 13.1 vc11, it's not x64 but the php5.5 version works great with the x86 phtread dll.
This might not be a programming question but I am posting it after long search and confusion.
I have a dedicated server running Windows server 2008/64bit running Apache as a web server and using PHP 5.3.9
I am trying to install APC extension for Apache. From what I found on php.net I should use a V6 version because I am using Apache.
I searched everywhere to find APC for PHP 5.3 vc6 x64 and found nothing
This comment says that "it’s not possible to compile 64 bit PHP binaries with VC6 since it does not have 64 bit compiler" I don't know if that's true or just an assumption
Any help will be gladly appreciated/
Update, I cannot use VC9 as stated on windows.php.net
If you are using PHP with Apache 1 or Apache2 from apache.org you need to use the VC6 versions of PHP
If you are using PHP with IIS you should use the VC9 versions of PHP
VC6 Versions are compiled with the legacy Visual Studio 6 compiler
VC9 Versions are compiled with the Visual Studio 2008 compiler and
have improvements in performance and stability. The VC9 versions
require you to have the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x86) or the
Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x64) installed
Do NOT use VC9 version with apache.org binaries
VC9 versions of Apache can be fetched at Apache Lounge. We use their
binaries to build the Apache SAPIs.
Thanks
UPDATE
I was given wrong information about the server configuration and settings. phpinfo() revealed the following:
Compiler MSVC9 (Visual C++ 2008)
Architecture x86
So I used built VC9 and x86 and it worked perfectly.
I used to run PHP as an Apache module on my Windows development machine. However, as PHP has stopped releasing VC6 binaries, I run the VC9 non theadsafe 32-bit versions as a FCGI module. There is plenty of documentation from both Apache and PHP on how to install these.
Then all you have to do is download the latest APC dll from here. Make sure you get the non-threadsafe version (nts), plonk it in your ext folder and just enable it like any other extension.
Edit: Didn't see that you wanted to run the 64-bit version. I haven't had a chance to try that out. However, if you are happy with running 32-bit versions of Apache and PHP, the above should work well.
I am trying to find phpredis extension (php) for my development server, I know how to build it on linux but I'm not sure how to achieve that on windows, I have tried the one available on internet but that is VC9 version while my php is compiled with VC6, anybody have VC6 version or know how to compile that on windows.
Thanks
Both VC6 and VC9 versions:
https://github.com/nicolasff/phpredis/downloads
You can get VC6 binary here:
https://github.com/owlient/phpredis/issues/87
I need to install PHP 5.3.x (preferably x >= 4) on Windows box running Apache. Unfortunately, in the PHP downloads page, I cannot find any PHP 5.3.x compiled with VC6. So...
Can I use the VC9 binaries on Apache?
If so, how? Do I have to do anything special?
From the release announcement:
Windows users: please mind that we do no longer provide builds created
with Visual Studio C++ 6. It is impossible to maintain a high quality
and safe build of PHP for Windows using this unmaintained compiler.
For Apache SAPIs (php5_apache2_2.dll), be sure that you use a Visual
Studio C++ 9 version of Apache. We recommend the PHP builds as provided
by ApacheLounge. For any other SAPI (CLI, FastCGI via mod_fcgi, FastCGI
with IIS or other FastCGI capable server), everything works as before.
Third party extension providers must rebuild their extensions to make
them compatible and loadable with the Visual Studio C++9 builds that we
no longer provide.

http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=2743 - In this thread, they say that using VC9 PHP is not recommended at all with VC6 Apache, even though it might work at first. They don't say why.
http://windows.php.net/qa/ - Here, they also state not to use PHP5.3 VC9 with Apache compiled with VC6 (and also don't state why).
I think it might be best to upgrade your Apache to the VC9 version: http://www.apachelounge.com/download/
PHP 5.3.5 for VC6 server is still available: http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/archives/
I'm fairly sure you can install the VC9 versions of Apache from http://www.apachelounge.com/download/ and they will work with the 5.3.x VC9 builds.
i need help installing and configuring PHP APC i have downloaded from http://downloads.php.net/pierre/ in my PHP info, i see
Compiler MSVC9 (Visual C++ 2008)
Architecture x86
so i downloaded php_apc-5.3-nts-svn20100226-vc9-x86.zip. then to install, i tried adding
[PHP_APC]
extension=php_apc.dll
to php.ini. restarting Apache fails. trying to execute php in cmd results in an error saying php5.dll is missing. but i doubt so. removing the 2 lines from php.ini fixes the error. how can i install apc then?
UPDATE: This is a very old answer. Since then I've used APC well with php5.4 and since the upgrade to php5.5 which removed APC, moved to memcached.
On Windows, seems php5.3 cannot work with APC. I simply use php5.2.5 instead as it's not a production machine anyway.
for the record :
Which version do I choose?
If you are using PHP with Apache1 or Apache2 from apache.org, you need to use the VC6 versions of PHP
If you are using PHP with IIS, you should use the VC9 versions of PHP.
VC6 Versions are compiled with the legacy Visual Studio 6 compiler
VC9 Versions are compiled with the Visual Studio 2008 compiler and have improvements in performance and stability. The VC9 versions require you to have the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x86) or the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x64) installed
Do NOT use VC9 version with apache.org binaries
Short story use vc6 for apache and vc9 for windows
Personally i use PHP 5.2.6 and php_apc_3014_php521.dll. It works in production.
I had a similar problem. I used this copy of PHP APC: http://downloads.php.net/pierre/php_apc-3.1-svn20101116-5.3-vc6-x86.zip and it worked to put 3.1.7-dev in place on XAMPP 1.7.7 with PHP 5.3.8
