PHP Installation

Monday, November 10th, 2008 admin

For PHP installation on Windows platform you have to download zip archive from http://www.php.net/downloads.php. This archive already has the main files and DLL libraries and many addons ready to use.

When you extract files from the archive don’t forget to rename the folder to “php” and place it to the root of the C: disk like i did C:\php.

So, now go to this folder and you may see some files. Copy php5ts.dll to the c:\windows\system32, and then copy the file php.ini-recommended to c:\windows, and rename that file to php.ini. This file is needed to configure all parametres of PHP.

Basic PHP installation under Windows is completed now. If you would like to configure PHP to use web-server you have to set up Apache webserver (read our article “Apache Installation”).
