The built-in Internet Information Services (IIS) of Windows system has good support for ASP, so it is very convenient to debug ASP web pages in IIS. But some friends’ web pages use PHP programming technology. By default, IIS does not support PHP. Manually configuring the PHP debugging environment of IIS is very difficult for us novices. So how can I make IIS support PHP? Here is a method to configure the PHP debugging environment in IIS in just a few simple steps.
Install IIS components
I take IIS5.1 of Windows XP system as an example. First, IIS components must be installed. The system is installed by default. If it is not in your system yet, go to "Control Panel → Add or Remove Programs → Add/Remove Windows Components" and select the "Internet Information Services (IIS)" option in the "Windows Component Wizard" dialog box (Figure 1) , click the "Next" button to complete the installation of IIS components.

Check the PHP debugging environment configuration
Go to "Control Panel → Administrative Tools", run the Internet Information Service program, right-click "Default Website" and select "Properties" in the pop-up menu, then switch to "Home Directory" in the pop-up properties dialog box "tab, click the "Configure" button in the application settings bar, the "Application Configuration" dialog box will pop up, in the "Mapping" tab, check whether there is an extension with ".ph p" in the application mapping list box option (as shown in Figure 4), if it exists, it means that the PHP installation and configuration is successful.

If this option is not found, you can also add it manually. Click the "Add" button in the application configuration dialog box to pop up the "Add/Edit Application Extension Mapping" dialog box (Figure 5). Enter the "php.exe" program path in the "Executable File" column, " Enter ".PHP" in "Extension", use the default settings for other options, and finally click the "OK" button.

This completes the configuration of the PHP debugging environment. You can now debug PHP files in IIS.
