But I just realized that one of the required elements for building PHP on Windows is no longer available due to the wiki server crash. Namely http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/php-libs/binary-tools.zip At this stage, you are going to have to rely on a third party to build the extensions for you. Personally, try and get your IIS working with V5.3. You can use the Web Platform Installer to install PHP very easily. Once you've got that, then I can try and build the extensions. If they build and have tests which pass, then I can easily supply them. If they fail to build due to needing external libraries, then I'm not in a position (time constraints) to really spend any more time on that extension. As it stands at the moment, someone wanting to build PHP for Windows would not be able to do so without the required win32 build libraries and tools.
