1. Configure IIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Control Panel | Programs | Turn Windows features on or off<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check Internet Information Services
Check IIS | World Wide Web Services | Application Development Features | CGI
OK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"01_configureiis\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

2. Install the NTS (non-thread safe) 64-bit version of PHP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Download and save onto the machine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

http:\/\/windows.php.net\/downloads\/releases\/php-7.x.x-nts-Win32-VC14-x64.zip<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extract all the contents of the zip file to C:\\PHP<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"02_unzip_php\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now edit the System PATH variable so IIS knows where the PHP executables are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Control Panel | System and Security | System | Advanced System Settings
Environment Variables
System Variables | Path | Edit
New -> C:\\PHP<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"03_edit_path_variable\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

3. Configure the php.ini file. This is the part you\u2019d never figure out without some help.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a copy of file C:\\PHP\\php.ini-development and save it as C:\\PHP\\php.ini<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edit file php.ini by finding the following entries, uncomment them, and change values to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. fastcgi.impersonate = 1
2. cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0
3. cgi.force_redirect = 0
4. open_basedir = \u201cC:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\u201d
5. extension_dir = \u201cext\u201d
6. error_log=\u201dphp_errors.log\u201d
7. uncomment the 24 Windows Extensions entries:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

extension=php_bz2.dll
extension=php_curl.dll
extension=php_fileinfo.dll
extension=php_ftp.dll
extension=php_gd2.dll
extension=php_gettext.dll
extension=php_gmp.dll
extension=php_intl.dll
extension=php_imap.dll
extension=php_interbase.dll
extension=php_ldap.dll
extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_exif.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
extension=php_oci8_12c.dll
extension=php_openssl.dll
extension=php_pdo_firebird.dll
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
extension=php_pdo_oci.dll
extension=php_pdo_odbc.dll
extension=php_pdo_pgsql.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll
extension=php_pgsql.dll
extension=php_shmop.dll<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save the edited php.ini file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Configure IIS to work with PHP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run | inetmgr
Handler Mappings | Add Module Mapping<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Request path: *.php
Module: FastCgiModule (from the dropdown)
Executable (optional): C:\\PHP\\php-cgi.exe
Name: FastCGI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OK (Yes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"04_iis_handler_mappings\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

5. Test the installation and configuration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launch Notepad with Administrative privleges. Create a file test.php and save it at C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot. The contents are (I use an image because my blog software would choke on HTML text):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"file_test_php\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now launch a browser and navigate to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

http:\/\/localhost\/test.php<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
