Note Submitter: admin at highpowerrockets dot com Reason: useless ---- php5 to IIS 5.X: Zip file install: Unzip to c:\php Rename php.ini-recommended to php.ini Edit php.ini to suit (NOTE: Leave "doc_root = " if you do not use IIS default file structure i.e. c:\inetpub\wwwroot, otherwise "doc_root = c:/inetpub/wwwroot" (forward slashes as per). Also: extension_dir = "c:/php/ext" Do NOT move php.ini or any related dlls to %systemroot% or anywhere else. Bad move that leads to unnecessary upgrade headaches. Add c:\php to path variable Add new system variable: Variable name: PHPRC Variable value: c:\php In IIS MMC, Master Properties/WWW Service/ISAPI filters, add: Filter Name: php ISAPI Executable: c:\php\php5isapi.dll In IIS MMC, Master Properties/WWW Service/Home Directory/Configuration, add: Executable: c:\php\php5isapi.dll Extension: .php Restart IIS. Check Event Viewer (for S&G's). Reboot. You're in.
