Hi,
If you are hosting PHP on IIS6 the best bet is to use IIS FastCGI with Non
thread safe VC6 build of PHP. You can use the below resources to configure PHP
on IIS6:
1.
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/247/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis-60/
2. http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php
You can also use Microsoft Web Platform Installer and everything will be
configured automatically. Details at
http://blogs.iis.net/donraman/archive/2009/10/07/installing-php-on-windows.aspx.
Windows bits are available at windows.php.net. So use that to download PHP.
PHP5.2.13 is the latest build and hence using it is a good idea because there
will be good amount of bug fixes and it is supported by community too meaning
if you find a bug, you can file it on bugs.php.net and get it fixed. Any other
version will require you to move to 5.2.13 and see if the problem is
re-occurring with it also.
Thanks,
Don.

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Windows binaries
Hi,
Does anyone know why there isn't a VC9-compiled binary for PHP 5.2.13 ? The
PHP application I'm using isn't currently compatible with PHP 5.3.x, so I need
a 5.2 build, but it will also be running in IIS 6. What is my best option?
Use the VC6 x86 Thread Safe build of 5.2.13, use the older VC9 x86 Thread Safe
build of 5.2.12, or use something else? (BTW, what is the difference between
the Windows binaries at www.php.net vs. the binaries from windows.php.net ? GCC
builds vs. VS?) Do the security fixes in 5.2.13 always win out over stability?
(This feels like an FAQ, but I couldn't find anybody else asking the same
question...)
Thanks for your insights!
Todd

5.2.13 is stable. The compiler version used to build PHP is not
important when PHP is run via FastCGI (which is the case for IIS).It
also does not need threas safety, that means that you should download
the NTS versions (5.2.13 NTS).
There are no difference between www.php.net and windows.php.net
binaries. PHP 5.3 and later will be available only via windows.php.net
(easier to add more versions, document, etc.).
The installer supports IIS6, you can use it to install PHP on your IIS
servers. Or use the web platform installer which is a wrapper around
our installer.
Cheers,

I've heard of FastCGI, but never used it before. If I want to get the
application running ASAP without FastCGI (please don't argue), what would be
the effect of using the thread-safe VC6 build of 5.2.13? Just a decrease in
performance?

Yes, less confusing that way. ;)
Thanks again,
Todd
