PHP Installation

There are a lot of method to php installations. But what I was about to tells you here is the php installation on Windows platform. This is how I do it!

First of all install mySQL and Apache on your system. See the documentation for both applications as it will not be discussed here.

1. Download PHP from php.net in zip format and then extract it to drive c:\php.


2. Copy your file php.ini-dist from c:\php to windows directory C:\windows and rename it to php.ini


3. Copy php4ts.dll to system folder located in windows directory C:\windows\syste皜


4. Open up your php.ini located in C:\windows and edit the following line
   extension_dir = C:\php\extensions\


5. If you had already install apache, open up httpd.conf located in conf folder and add this following line.
   AddModule mod_php4.c
   LoadModule php4_module C:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
   AddTypeapplication/x-httpd-php .php
   AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps


6. After editing httpd.conf, save it and then restart your server. That's it!
