Yes, of course. That is what they are for. In the meantime I have found out that PHP7 will run as mod_php in Apache VC11 x86. Need lines in the htttpd.conf something like: PHPINIDir "/phpdev/php70.x86/" LoadModule php7_module "/phpdev/php70.x86/php7apache2_4.dll" > I would like to try PHP 7, but I'm not really feeling like >compiling it by myself for Windows (I probably even don't have all the >tools needed for it); or is there a simple HOWTO for building it >myself? I am following more or less these guides: https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild For building PHP7 I am using “Visual Studio 2012 Express for Windows Desktop” aka VC11. I do not have a Pro version of VC11, but the Express version works fine as well. The hard part is to find the appriopate dependent libraries. http://windows.php.net/downloads/php-sdk/deps-5.6-vc11-x86.7z could give you a jump start, but if you want to build PECL extensions with dependent libraries you are on your own I build PHP myself for every 5.3/4/5/6 release. See http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=6359 My PHP 5.6 nts builds contain contains 105 extensions. Only 44 of them compile for PHP7. There still is a long way to go for all extension maintainers! Jan
