First, click here to download PHP5 FOR win32
Then let’s get started
Take PHP for Apache as CGI binary as an example. I like to use this method. Take the installation directory c:php as an example;
Delete the original php installation directory, unzip php-5.0.0-Win32.zip to c:php
Rename php.ini-dist For php.ini (same as php4)
Modify Apache’s httpd.conf file. Delete the original statements bound to php4.
Replace with the following lines:
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x -httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe"
Modify php.ini and remove the ";" in front of extension=php_mysql.dll. It is available by default!
If so The same is true for PHP for Apache as module. Modify Apache’s httpd.conf
LoadModule php5_module c:/php/php5apache.dll
AddModule mod_php5.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
But this The first method is to copy all dll files to the windows system directory, php.ini and php.exe to the windows system directory
I have tried both of the above methods. Programs written in php4 can run!
For apache2 settings:
1. Do not AddModule mod_php5.c
2. LoadModule php5_module c:/php/php5apache2.dll, it is php5apache2.dll
3. You need to copy the dll files in the php directory (the following files do not need to be copied: php5activescript.dll, php5apache.dll, php5apache_hooks.dll, php5apache2.dll, php5isapi.dll, php5nsapi.dll) to the above-mentioned directory. (98, me is system) next
