1. Extract php zip folder to C:\php.

8. Need to start the Microsoft Management Console (may appear as ‘Internet Services Manager’, either in your Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack branch or the Control Panel=>Administrative Tools under Windows 2000/XP). Then right click on your Web server node (this will

To use the ISAPI module, do the following:
* If you don’t want to perform HTTP Authentication using PHP, you can
(and should) skip this step. Under ISAPI Filters, add a new ISAPI
filter. Use PHP as the filter name, and supply a path to the
php4isapi.dll / php5isapi.dll.
* Under ‘Home Directory’, ‘Virtual Directory’, or ‘Directory’, do the
following:
* Change the Execute Permissions to ‘Scripts only’
* Click on the ‘Configuration’ button, and choose the Application
Mappings tab. Click Add and set the Executable path to the
appropriate ISAPI DLL. An example PHP 5 value is:
C:\php\php5isapi.dll Supply .php as the extension. Leave ‘Method
exclusions’ blank, and check the ‘Script engine’ checkbox. Now,
click OK a few times.
* Stop IIS completely (NET STOP iisadmin)
* Start IIS again (NET START w3svc)
9. With IIS 6 (2003 Server), open up the IIS Manager, go to Web Service Extensions, choose “Add a new Web service extension”, enter in a name such as PHP, choose the Add button and for the value browse to the ISAPI file (p4isapi.dll or php5isapi.dll) and then check “Set extension status to Allowed” and click OK.
