How to install PHP/IIS on Windows 7 computer

In traditional website development, we often use PHP language as the backend development language and IIS as the web server to build the website. This article will introduce how to install PHP, IIS, PHP Manager and other tools on a Windows 7 computer for debugging.

1. Install IIS

First of all, we need to install IIS. Windows 7 integrates IIS management tools. We only need to enable IIS through the programs and functions of the control panel. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Open the Windows 7 Control Panel and enter the Programs and Features page.
2. In the Programs and Features page, click the "Turn Windows features on or off" link to open the Windows features interface.
3. Find Internet Information Services (IIS) and check it. If you need other options, you can continue to check, or find the required option from IIS and check the box after the option.
4. Click "OK" to install IIS. After the installation is complete, you can view the installed IIS-related services in "Control Panel" -> "Administrative Tools" -> "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager".

2. Install PHP

Next, we need to download a Windows version of PHP installation program and install it according to the installation prompts of the program. Here, we can download the required Windows version software from PHP's official website, or download it from other third-party websites.

During the installation of PHP, we need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Select "Web Server" and select IIS for it.
2. Set the location of the "configuration file".
3. Select the required PHP version and make relevant configurations.

After successful installation, we can view relevant files in the PHP installation directory.

3. Install PHP Manager extension

After configuring IIS and PHP, we need to add PHP Manager to manage PHP extensions. PHP Manager is an open source tool that uses IIS Manager to manage PHP extensions and URL rewriting.

The specific installation steps are as follows:

1. Download the extended version suitable for Windows 7 from the official website of PHP Manager.
2. Run the downloaded installer, it will automatically install and add PHP Manager to the manager of IIS.
3. Configure the PHP extension to get a list of available options. We can get a list of PHP extensions by clicking on the IIS website in the application pool, opening IIS Manager, and double-clicking the PHP Manager extension.

4. Test PHP

After completing all the installation and configuration mentioned above, we can test the PHP program. To do this, we can create a simple PHP file and save it to the InetPub directory in the IIS root directory.

The following code is an example:

<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>

Next, we open the IIS homepage in the browser, click "Add Application", and enter the application in the pop-up window The name and physical path of the PHP file you just created.

After clicking OK, the application can be added to the IIS home page. We can click on the application to browse the PHP program we just created. If the words "Hello World!" appear in the browser, it means that the PHP program has been successfully run.

To sum up, this article introduces in detail the installation and configuration of PHP, IIS and PHP Manager on a Windows 7 computer, and verifies the correctness of the installed configuration by writing a simple PHP program and testing it. I hope this article can provide some help to developers who need to build and debug PHP websites on Windows 7.
