Pierre,
I don't NEED it but I like it. Was going to suggest adding IIS express
support to it.
I can live with phpmanager for IIS andthe command line tools, I find the
MSI superior and was looking forward to figuring out how to do custom
silent installs with it.

Installing to any web server, and configuring the IIS settings
especially, as well as the INI setup, was a great feature of the MSI.
It will be missed. I have not worked with PHPManager much, as the MSI
was great. The MSI also works well with our current software
distribution tools, which only work with MSI.

IISExpress is managed via appcmd which sucks, IMO, because you have to
remember every configurable settings or do help every time. IIS7.x &
PHP Manager works better because you can switch different PHP versions
on the fly.

hi,
Yes, but it does not always work as it should and it costs us a lot of
time to maintain. On the other, projects like Wamp, xampp, easyphp,
phpmanager for IIS do a great job to simplify updates and
installations of newer PHP. They also use our binaries, so everything
is fine.
However, if anyone is willing to maintain it further, we indeed have
no problem to continue and provide them as convenience.
Cheers,

Since there are at least two options of web server, I think I would agree that
maintaining something in addition to the options already available does not make
sense. And extending an MSI to take care of IIS/Apache2.2/Apache2.4 with the
other expanding installation options is going to take someones time.
Personally I find that the ZIP packages are more than enough, but I install on
top of Apache and that is already configured.

If you want to have a look at what have been carrying on with, as a form of
practice/making sure all is up to speed etc., here's the front-end link for the
online chess game interface have been working on with PHP and MySQL:
http://www.blindza.co.za/bzChess/
And, if you want to have a look at source etc., here's a dropBox link for a zip
file with both source, and a .sql file which is the script for
generating/creating the MySQL table structures, etc.:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13327195/bzChess.zip
This thing is still under development/bug fixing, and am currently busy
finishing off things like registration procedures, game initiation, etc., but
anyway.
Also still need to get some sighted feedback on look and feel of things like
chess board itself - have a couple of options regarding chess piece image
files, etc. - but, am trying to make sure interface etc. is usable for both VI
and sighted guys, and am generally making use of relatively simple javascript
interface manipulation, aside from general/standard web page interface - for
now anyway.
Have also made sure am keeping clear of aspects that might be a bit too dynamic
to work on all types of devices/units, since want to specifically keep this web
app platform independent, so, for example, am trying to make sure it will also
work in the browsers of things like nokia phones, etc, and that just means am
avoiding slightly more advanced things like the JQuery javascript wrapper
library, which alternatively makes things like DHTML and ajax implementation
quite a bit simpler/easier to implement.
And, yes, know there are various sites like/similar to this out there, but
they're not all perfect for visually impaired/blind guys, and am also using
this to just make sure am able to do various types of things with PHP,
MySQLI/MySQL etc.
Stay well

Anyone know about/use this:
http://www.yiiframework.com/
Have been recommended should look into it by another VI developer for speeding
up/making PHP development more efficient/effective.
