Working PHP on IIS

[niltar]

Im looking forward to have PHP working on my system: Windows xp professional, but the service installed is IIS, is this possible? I tried but I can't. Do I need Apache instead? Is there a case called WAMP? (Windows+Apache+MySQL+PHP) Please give light on this. Thanks.

hi there, if you want to use IIS, it shld be not much of a problem. What do you mean by you can't??? It's a bit vague by saying cannot cos it's actually quite simple to do it with IIS+PHP+MySQL.

First, you need to ask yourself. Did you try putting this file in your default setup in IIS?

Any file name will do.

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

If you did not even try this, please do so.

If you did, what is the error message.

Usually, you won't get message cos it either works or don't.

If it don't, you need to tell me whether you're using PHP installer or the zip package.

Usually, the installer will ask you whether you want to configure it for any web servers and which version for IIS. You may accidentally click "Dun configure it". Just guessing here.

This is only for PHP+IIS

With MySQL, you need to write or test a script. Usually there will be error messages if you did not configure your MySQL properly.

Feel free to ask more.
