Good afternoon.
as some of you may know, i am currently working on a new design for the php.net website and i came
across the installation page[1].
the page contains information about "how to compile php from source" but no "how to
install it" and i think this is not a good for newbies.
when i started PHP as a kid, i remember using XMAPP on windows, not because i needed Apache or
MySQL, but because the PHP site kept telling me that i need
C runtime, VC
CRT11 and then i should compile the source code and i didn't know how to do that at the
time and everything seemed just complicated.
for this, i suggest that w add a new "installation instructions" to the php website, and
move the current pages to a new section called "compile from source".
i have added installation instruction page in the mock ups of the new design, you might take a look
at it here : https://github.com/azjezz/web-php-mock-ups/blob/master/screenshots/windows-installation.png
