First, we need to access the PHP website for Windows<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Locate and download the Non-Thread Safe (NTS) versions of PHP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"php<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our example, the following file was downloaded: php-7.2.9-nts-Win32-VC15-x86.zip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a directory named PHP on the root of your C drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extract the content of the file inside the PHP folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Windows<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHP for Windows requires the installation of a specific version of Microsoft Visual Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our example, we downloaded the PHP package build VC15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHP Build VC 15 requires the installation of the Microsoft Visual Studio version 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"PHP<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio version 2017 x86<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Visual<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After finishing the Visual Studio installation, we need to add the PHP directory to the PATH environment variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access the System properties window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access the Advanced tab and click on the Environment variables button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"System<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select the PATH variable and click on the Edit button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"path<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the PHP directory to the end of the PATH variable value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copy to Clipboard<\/p>\n\n\n\n

;C:\\PHP<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"PHP<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open the Windows explorer application and access the PHP folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Locate the file named PHP.INI-PRODUCTION.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"php<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rename PHP.INI-PRODUCTION to PHP.INI<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Edit the file named PHP.INI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is the original file, before our configuration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copy to Clipboard<\/p>\n\n\n\n
; date.timezone =<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
; fastcgi.impersonate = 1<\/pre>\n\n\n\n

; cgi.force_redirect = 1<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
; extension_dir = \"ext\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n

; extension=mbstring<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
; extension=mysqli<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
; extension=openssl<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Here is the file, after our configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep in mind that your timezone file may not be the same as mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copy to Clipboard<\/p>\n\n\n\n
date.timezone = America\/Sao_Paulo<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
fastcgi.impersonate = 1<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
cgi.fix_pathinfo=1<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
cgi.force_redirect = 0<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
