May seem silly, but to follow up on Aditya's helpful tip make sure to download Visual C++ that corresponds to the version of PHP you installed or else you will have failure. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679. The link he posted took me to a 64-bit version of the install ( I assume it was 64 bit because my OS is 64 bit).
Étapes pour une installation manuelle
Cette section contient les instructions pour installer manuellement et configurer PHP sous Microsoft Windows.
Sélection et téléchargement de PHP
Téléchargez l'archive PHP depuis » PHP pour Windows: Binaires et sources. Il y a plusieurs versions de l'archive zip - pour choisir la bonne version pour vous, suivez le guide détaillé sur la » page des téléchargements.
La structure et le contenu du paquet PHP
Décompressez le contenu de l'archive zip dans le dossier de votre choix, par exemple C:\PHP\. La structure des dossiers et des fichiers extraits depuis l'archive zip ressemble à ceci :
Exemple #1 Structure d'un paquet PHP 5
c:\php | +--dev | | | |-php5ts.lib -- php5.lib en version non thread safe | +--ext -- bibliothèques DLLs pour PHP | | | |-php_bz2.dll | | | |-php_cpdf.dll | | | |-... | +--extras -- vide | +--pear -- copie initiale de PEAR | | |-go-pear.bat -- script d'installation de PEAR | |-... | |-php-cgi.exe -- exécutable CGI | |-php-win.exe -- exécution de scripts sans avoir un prompt de commande ouvert | |-php.exe -- exécutable de ligne de commande (CLI) | |-... | |-php.ini-development -- configuration par défaut du php.ini | |-php.ini-production -- configuration recommandée du php.ini | |-php5apache2_2.dll -- n'existe pas dans la version non thread safe | |-php5apache2_2_filter.dll -- n'existe pas dans la version non thread safe | |-... | |-php5ts.dll -- bibliothèque DLL coeur de PHP ( php5.dll en version non thread safe) | |-...
Voici la liste des modules et des exécutables inclus dans l'archive zip de PHP :
-
go-pear.bat - le script de configuration de PEAR. Référez-vous à l'» installation de PEAR pour plus de détails.
-
php-cgi.exe - exécutable CGI qui peut être utilisé lors de l'exécution de PHP sous IIS via CGI ou FastCGI.
-
php-win.exe - l'exécutable PHP pour l'exécution de scripts PHP sans fenêtre de ligne de commande (par exemple, des applications PHP qui utilisent un GUI Windows).
-
php.exe - l'exécutable PHP pour l'exécution de scripts PHP dans une interface de ligne de commande (CLI).
-
php5apache2_2.dll - module Apache 2.2.X.
-
php5apache2_2_filter.dll - filtre Apache 2.2.X.
Modification du fichier php.ini
Après l'extraction du contenu du paquet PHP, copiez le fichier php.ini-production dans le fichier php.ini du même dossier. Si nécessaire, il est également possible de placer le fichier php.ini dans le dossier de votre choix mais cela nécessite d'autres étapes de configuration décrites dans la configuration de PHP.
Le fichier php.ini indique à PHP la façon doit il doit se configurer, mais aussi la façon dont il doit travailler avec l'environnement sur lequel il s'exécute. Voici quelques concfigurations du fichier php.ini qui aide PHP à fonctionner d'une meilleure façon sous Windows. Quelques-unes sont optionnelles. Il y a bien d'autres directives utiles pour votre environnement - référez-vous à la liste des directives du php.ini pour plus d'informations.
Directives nécessaires :
-
extension_dir = <chemin vers le dossier des extensions> - extension_dir doit pointer vers le dossier contenant les fichiers des extensions PHP. Le chemin peut être absolu (e.g. "C:\PHP\ext") ou relatif (e.g. ".\ext"). Les extensions listées ci-dessous dans le fichier php.ini doivent se trouver dans le dossier extension_dir.
-
extension = xxxxx.dll - Pour chaque extension que vous voulez activer, vous avez besoin d'une directive "extension=" qui indique à PHP quelles extensions du dossier extension_dir doivent être chargées au démarrage.
-
log_errors = On - PHP a une fonctionnalité permettant d'historiser les erreurs, pouvant être utilisée pour envoyer les erreurs dans un fichier, ou vers un service (i.e. syslog) et fonctionne en conjonction de la directive error_log ci-dessous. Lors de l'exécution sous IIS, log_errors devrait être activée, avec une valeur valide de error_log.
-
error_log = <chemin vers le fichier d'historisation des erreurs> - error_log doit spécifier le chemin absolu ou relatif vers un fichier où les erreurs PHP doivent être écrites. Le fichier doit être accessible en écriture par le serveur web. L'endroit commun de ce fichier est le dossier TEMP, par exemple, "C:\inetpub\temp\php-errors.log".
-
cgi.force_redirect = 0 - Cette directive est nécessaire pour le fonctionnement sous IIS. Elle est relative à la sécurité et est nécessaire par bons nombres de serveurs web. Cependant, son activation sous IIS fera échouer le moteur PHP sous Windows.
-
cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1 - Cette directive permet à PHP d'accéder aux informations concernant le chemin réel suivi par la spécification CGI. Cette directive est nécessaire lors de l'implémentation de FastCGI sous IIS.
-
fastcgi.impersonate = 1 - FastCGI sous IIS supporte la possibilité de rendre impersonnels les éléments relatifs à la sécurité lors d'un appel client. Ceci permet à IIS de définir le contexte de sécurité sur lequel la demande est effectuée.
-
fastcgi.logging = 0 - L'historisation FastCGI doit être désactivé sous IIS. S'il est activé, alors tous les messages de toutes les classes seront traités par FastCGI comme des conditions d'erreur, ce qui fera qu'IIS générera des exceptions HTTP 500.
Directives optionnelles
-
max_execution_time = ## - Cette directive demande à PHP un maximum de temps afin d'exécuter un script donné. Par défaut, c'est 30 secondes. Augmentez la valeur de cette direction si l'application PHP prend plus de temps à s'exécuter.
-
memory_limit = ###M - La mémoire maximale disponible pour le processus PHP, en méga-octets. Par défaut, c'est 128, ce qui est parfait pour la plupart des applications PHP. Pour des applications plus complexes, il peut être nécessaire d'augmenter cette valeur.
-
display_errors = Off - Cette directive indique à PHP si les messages d'erreur doivent être inclus dans le flux retourné au serveur web. Si défini à "On", alors PHP les enverra, suivants les classes d'erreur que vous avez définies avec la directive error_reporting, au serveur web comme partie du flux d'erreur. Pour des raisons de sécurité, il est recommandé de définir à "Off" cette directive sur les serveurs de production afin de ne pas révéler les informations concernant la sécurité, qui sont inclues dans les messages d'erreur.
-
open_basedir = <chemins vers les dossiers, séparés par un point virgule>, e.g. openbasedir="C:\inetpub\wwwroot;C:\inetpub\temp". Cette directive spécifie le chemin vers le dossier où PHP est autorisé à effectuer des opérations sur le système de fichiers. Toute opération en dehors de ces chemins retournera une erreur. Cette directive est spécialement utile pour cantonner l'installation de PHP dans des environnements partagés afin d'éviter que les scripts PHP accèdent à tout fichier se trouvant en dehors du dossier racine du site web.
-
upload_max_filesize = ###M et post_max_size = ###M - La taille maximale autorisée, respectivement, d'un fichier téléchargé et des données de type POST. Les valeurs de ces directives devraient être augmentées si les applications PHP doivent effectuer de gros téléchargements, comme des images ou des fichiers vidéos.
PHP est maintenant configuré pour votre système. La prochaine étape est de choisir un serveur web et de la configurer pour y faire fonctionner PHP. Choisissez un serveur web depuis la table de contenus.
En plus de faire fonctionner PHP via un serveur web, PHP peut être exécuté depuis la ligne de commande, à la façon des scripts .BAT. Reportez-vous au chapitre sur la ligne de commande PHP sous Microsoft Windows pour plus d'informations.

Re: Manual Configuration, pathing errors in IIS and ISAPI setup
Chris @ 11-Oct-2006 and phpmanual at pbb dot dds dot nl @ 07-Oct-2004 are both correct.
Problem is not with PHP but with IIS (mine is v5.1).
Installed PHP into C:\Program Files\PHP, and set environment variable PATH to path as stated.
When selecting the installation of php5isapi.dll via IIS Administrator, IIS would insert the path as:
"C:\Program Files\PHP\php5isapi.dll" (note the quotes and space in directory name)
All scripts ran and produced a HTTP 500 error.
Replaced ISAPI path in IIS with:
C:\PROGRA~1\PHP\php5isapi.dll (note the removal of the quotes and spaces, and the replacement of the path with 8.3 format names)
All scripts ran w/o problems.
Thanks to all! I hope someone can report if a similar problem exists with IIS6/7.

on two recent installation attempts on iis6 on win2k3 i followed the php manual and windows configuration steps exactly and php would still not run.
on the first install i had to give the USER account (not IUSR) read execute permissions to this file, c:\php\sapi\php4isapi.dll. using filemon i saw that it was being accessed and access was denied.
steps:
- right click on this file > properties > security > add > location (select the server -not domain if listed) > advanced > find now > Users (usually the last item) > click OK
- select Read & Execute > apply
also a complete computer restart was required in each install

I got the 'Fatal Error: call to unindentified function mysql_connect()' and resolved it after many hours of troubleshooting. The problem has to do with the libmysql.dll file residing in multiple directories. It SHOULD only be in the php directory. So, erase the copy in mysql bin and the apache bin and restart apache. I hope this helps someone. if this doesn't help check out forums.mysql.com and search "Call to undefined function mysql_connect". (i got the solution to this problem from here)

In the Note Titled "Windows Server 2003 (x64 bits) + IIS 6.0" in step 1 when adding your new .php extension, it will not work unless after you click on the "Home Directory" you make sure that your "Execute permissions:" are set to "Scripts Only".
By default, on my machine, the permissions were set to "None" not allowing php to run.
Also, for more security it might be wise to Add the new extension just to your default site instead of the whole Web Sites folder in IIS. This would only apply if you were hosting multiple sites and had a site you didn't want scripts to run on.

IIS + PHP
- The browser can't find your php code like localhost/dir/dir_code.php from any virtual directory (404 error)
- You are sure the code exists
You may rename it with a .html extension and check if it displays
- Process of your php code like localhost/root_code.php is ok from the root directory
It may come from the doc_root directive in php.ini whitch should be set to blank :
doc_root =
Then restart IIS to reload php.ini

There is a way to install PHP with nginx-server under windows (current version is 0.7.60)
Step-1 (install nginx server)
Just extract nginx-0.7.60.zip in C:\nginx-0.7.60
In C:\nginx-0.7.60\conf\nginx.conf uncomment and edit following lines
location ~ \.php$ {
root html;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME C:/nginx-0.7.60/html$fastcgi_script_name; #this is the one line for edition
include fastcgi_params;
}
and run C:\nginx-0.7.60\nginx.exe (the server is started)
Step-2 (install PHP5)
Just extract php in C:\PHP5
Create (or modify) php.ini
extension_dir="ext/" ;for extensions
And run C:\PHP5\php-cgi.exe -b 127.0.0.1:9000

If you are running websites within an Application Pool (which is now the default for IIS6 under 2K3) you need to make sure that your PHP directory (e.g. C:\PHP) has read permissions for the user assigned to the Application Pool.
1. In the IIS snap-in, choose Application Pools
2. Right-click on DefaultAppPool (or other, if you have one defined) and choose Properties
3. Click the Identity tab
4. Make a note of the user name set as the security account for this application pool (e.g. "Network Service")
5. Browse to your PHP directory and grant that user read permissions for the entire directory.
In my case, I had to add permissions for the user "NETWORK SERVICE" to get PHP scripts to work. Otherwise I received 401/403 authorization errors when trying to load them in a remote browser.
Note also that first tried adding IUSR permissions to the PHP directory, but that had no effect.

Installing PHP5.2.1 in IIS 6.0 bring me some troubles too.
First i need to use full tag to make it your php script works and second the IIS didn't want to load the extension in the ext folder. I cheked the configuration a couple of thousand of time and everything seen to be ok.
I fixed up given read access in the "ext" folder to de "IUSER/PCNAME" user or to everyone/PCNAME user to the same folder. Just in case i did the same in the rest of the folder inside the php folder.
I wish nobody loose an all day in the same thing, like me.

Your PHP.INI file is not required to be in the C:\WINDOWS folder in XP. The trick is to make sure that the PHP.INI can be found. If you fail to reboot after adding the PHP folder to the path and creating the PHPRC environment variable, the file will likely not be found. If you can't reboot, then try creating the registry entries as described in the following document:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php
When you execute "phpinfo();" pay special attention to the data returned in "Loaded Configuration File". If it does not show a path and a the PHP.INI file name, the file is not being loaded. The path of C:\WINDOWS in the Configuration File Path section is the default location where PHP looks for the INI file and does not mean that the file must be located there; in fact, the following document suggest that you leave the configuration file in the C:\PHP folder:

Problem:
Error in my_thread_global_end(): 1 threads didn't exit
It seems that php 5.2.3 libmysql.dll does not work as expected, because Apache shows this error in the logs when we use mysql_*() functions
Solution:
I found it here:
http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?10,153077,155121#msg-155121
which is to replace 'libmysql.dll' file in your PHP installation directory (also in winnt/system32 if you copied it there) with the Dll from PHP 5.2.1
You can download the second one from here:

I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out the problem of not being able to display my 'test.php' demo script to work, the file lay in my IIS 5 " C:\inetpub\wwwroot" folder.
The file contents of test.php were:
<?php>
phpinfo();
<?>
Windows php installer version was 5.2.0
Problem lay in the minute dumb feature of windows explorer being used t change(rename) text file extension from 'test.txt' to 'test.php'.
The resultant name looked by the IIS was still 'test.php.txt'.
I used command line to change the filename to 'test.php' and it displayed in my browser.
http://localhost/test.php, worked right away.

Trying to install PHP 5.3.3 VC9 Non-Thread-Safe on Windows 2008 Server running IIS 7.5.
Followed the instructions carefully but still got a 500 error trying to open the classig phpinfo page. After a lot of searching I discovered that everything worked fine after changing the php.ini directive fastcgi.logging from 0 to 1, contrary to what the directions said. I wonder if it was a typo on the instructions or if something changed after a few versions.
Hope this saves someone a couple of hours of searching.

RE: phpmanual at pbb dot dds dot nl @ 07-Oct-2004 11:29
You are correct. I just had the same issue; I was following the PHP installation instructions and some very helpful WIMP instructions.
I was trying to keep things tidy by putting my PHP directory in C:\Program Files\PHP. I set the PATH variable, ISAPI filter config and extension in Application Configuration, but was getting the "Specified module could not be found" error.
Changed the PHP directory to C:\PHP and reconfigured everything, did an iisreset, and it started working immediately.
Good catch, and thank you!

In the above, "the web server's directory" means the directory where the server executable lives, for example for the Apache installation on my XP box this is "\program files\apache group\apache2\bin" and NOT just "\program files\apache group\apache2".
But it's probably best to tell your web server where PHP's ini file is stored, for example via PHPIniDir for Apache's http.conf.
phpmanual at pbb dot dds dot nl ¶

Okay, I'm a total newbie to this, so my findings may be wrong, but this is what I found out.
The manual says "do not have spaces in the path (like C:\Program Files\PHP) as some web servers will crash if you do". Indeed, when using this with PHP5 on WinXP, I got the error message "The specified module could not be found."
However, the problem seems not to lie in the SPACE in the pathname, but in the QUOTES that Windows adds when a space is in the pathname! This is what I found:
"C:\Program Files\php5\php5isapi.dll" -- doesn't work
C:\php5\php5isapi.dll -- works
"C:\php5\php5isapi.dll" -- doesn't work
C:\Progra~1\php5\php5isapi.dll -- works
"C:\Progra~1\php5\php5isapi.dll" -- doesn't work
C:\Program Files\php5\php5isapi.dll -- doesn't work, because it's not accepted by Internet Information Services
I don't know if this all is a problem with Internet Information Services or with PHP, but it would be nice if it was more documented in the PHP manual.

After having the same problem as specifed below with "No input file specified". I changed the doc_root as mentioned.
This is fine if all php scripts are going to be run from the c:\inetpub\wwwroot directory. To enable it for multiple websites where the root directories are all different simply leave the doc_root attribute in the php.ini file blank.
This is for the isapi version not cgi implementation. It also means you don't have to set IUSR or IWAM access to the PHP root directory.

In response to phpmanual at pbb dot dds dot nl:
You are absolutly correct. I found this out while trying to install PHP4 with Apache2 on XPPro. Here are 3 general guidelines that I have found to be correct:
- Path may not have spaces. Change C:\Program Files to C:\Progra~1 If you don't understand this, go to start-->run-->command (not cmd). Type cd\ and hit enter. Then type dir. You should see all your directory names there.
- Paths should not be enclosed by quotes.
- Use forward slashes (/) and not backslashes (\)

Problems setting up PHP as an Apache module under Windows?
To install php+apache+win32+mysql with PHP as an Apache module consider the following hints :
- download the 'VC6 x86 Thread Safe' zip file from http://windows.php.net/download/ .
Couldn't make the Non Thread Safe version to work as a loadable module from Apache.
- if you set extension=php_mysql.dll and still have problems, copy the file libmysql.dll (shipped with php's zip) to your WINDOWS\System32\ directory.
The apache-mysql module fails trying to find this library.

1. Add new extension (.php)
* Expand the local computer in the left pane
* Right-click on "Web Sites" in the left pane, then click "Properties" in the menu that pops up
* Flip top the "Home Directory" tab
* Click "Configuration"
* Flip to the "Mappings" tab
* Click "Add..."
* Enter the full path to php5isapi.dll in the "Executable" textbox (Browse... to find it more easily if you need to)
* Enter ".php" in the "Extension" textbox
* Select radial button "Limit to", enter "GET,POST,HEAD"
* Click "OK" all the way out
2. Verify php5isapi.dll is allowed
You must verify that the versions of php5isapi.dll that you want to use are allowed.
2.1. In Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, in the left-hand column, click the Web Services Extensions node and verify php5isapi.dll is allowed and all other Web Service Extensions are prohibited.
2.2. If the version of php5isapi.dll that you want to use does not appear in the list, follow the instructions to enable it and then repeat this procedure:
Go into IIS
Below all of the websites is a folder: Web Service Extensions
In blue, to the lower left, is a choice: Add A New Web Service Extension
Add PHP/PHP5ISAPI.dll
Choose To ALLOW it.
2.3 If the version of php5isapi.dll you want to use appears on the list but is not allowed, right click the version of php5isapi.dll you want to allow and click Allow.
3. Configuring IIS for 32-Bit Emulation Mode (THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT!!!!)
3.1. If you are installing IIS on x64-based editions of Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2003 R2, IIS must be configured to run in 32 bit emulation mode. Perform the following procedure on each front-end Web server running an x64-based edition of Windows Server 2003.
Configure Internet Information Services (IIS) for 32-bit mode
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK.
3. In the command prompt window, navigate to the %drive%:\Inetpub\Adminscripts folder, where %drive% is the drive in which Windows Server 2003 is installed.
4. In the Adminscripts folder, type the following command:
cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1
Note The value "1" for Enable32bitAppOnWin64 specifies 32-bit mode, whereas the value "0" specifies 64-bit mode.
5. Press ENTER.
6. Type iisreset and then press ENTER.
7. Close the command prompt window.
8. Re-star System.
Note The Run WWW service in IIS 5.0 isolation mode check box is only selected if you have upgraded to IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003 from IIS 5.0 on Windows 2000. New installations of IIS 6.0 use IIS 6.0 worker process isolation mode by default.

I ran across the same problem listed below, using IIS6 instead of Apache on Windows Server 2003.
It seemed that I could run a PHP script on the command line just fine, and lines such as:
<? if(function_exists("mysql_connect")) echo "MySQL is present."; ?>
ran without error, and printed as expected.
Loading the file via IIS (using Firefox from my Ubuntu workstation), it wouldn't print anything, indicating that the MySQL extension hadn't been loaded.
Fix: rename/delete all "libmysql.dll" except for the one in "C:\PHP\ext" or equivalent.
... Same fix as listed below, but I wanted to point out: it's relevant to IIS as well.

IIS Windows 2003 server.
You have upgraded to PHP5 from PHP4. phpinfo- works fine. You cannot however communicate with mysql (for example) through phpMyAdmin as it throws up an error stating it cannot load the mysqli extension and/or you get the 'bad handshake' warning.
Solution: update your libmySQL.dll file in your system32 folder. This requires you to stop all internet services on your computer i.e IIS. Full details below.
#############################
Background: my server is set up as follows:
php files folder == C:\PHP
I have configured my php.ini file opening up the required extensions etc
I have mapped the necessary extension to IIS
I have configured my website extension(s)
I have mapped my windows path ';C\PHP;C\PHP\ext'
I have registered my ini file
I have tested my phpinfo() and it works
I have installed phpMyAdmin and it refuses to work
I have tried simple mysql connection scripts ...nada
I have checked everything 50 times
I am bald.
Then I did this:
##############################
1) Copy 'libmySQL.dll' from C:\PHP (or the folder where you have loaded php into)
2) Open 'Windows\system32' folder. Do nothing at the moment, just have this window 'to hand'.
3)Open IIS manager snap in(control panel - administrative tools - IIS manager)
Right click server name as shown below:
- Internet Information Services
- My Computer (local computer) - right click
Select 'all tasks' then 'Restart IIS...'
Use drop down then select 'stop internet services on XXXXX' and click 'OK'
4) Return to your 'Windows\system32' folder. Paste 'libmySQL.dll' (it is already in your clipboard from step 1). It will warn you about overwrite the current one. Select YES.
5) Return to IIS manager. Follow steps as in '3' above except now choose 'Restart Internet Services on XXX' (the default option), click OK.
#############################
I hope this works for you.

Remember to enter FULL PATH in the extension_dir parameter in php.ini ! Using only "./ext/" or any relative path will have your PHP failing to load extensions when called by Apache. That's quite tricky 'cause extensions are working when PHP is used through command line ...

step 1 : clear port 80. ( my computer->manager ->services and application ->services ->iis ->disable )
step 2 : install Apache by exe.
(check if green color is display near apache otherwise some problem in Apache installation).
step 3 : Copy php folder and past it into 'c directory' .
step 4 : Give class path = c:\php;c:\php\ext;
(mycomputer->properties->advance->environmentalproperties->path = c:\php;c:\php\ext; ).
step 5 : Open httpd.conf, that is located in Apache web server installation folder, under conf directory i.e.,
Apache Installation folder > conf > httpd.conf
Add these lines....
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "C:/php"
Step 6: goto php installation directory, there u'll find a file named php-ini-recommended, rename it to, 'php.ini'.
Step 7: Now time to modify php-ini, file... open the file in notepad, look for extension=php_mysql.dll,
uncomment it, i.e., delete ";" thats prefixed...also look for "extension_dir=" append "C:\php\ext"
incase ur php installation directory is php else "C:\%installation dir%\ext"
sterp 8 : find directory index in http.conf and add index.php with index.html
Step 9: Copy libmysql.dll to c:\windows\system32

I did a clean install of Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.2.6 due to conflicts with the old httpd.conf file I had and ran into the "Call to undefined function mysql_connect()" error when trying to run a script that connects to MySQL.
To resolve it I had to copy libmysql.dll from my PHP installation directory to the "bin" folder of my Apache install directory.
I checked the forums.mysql.com as someone else suggested which lead me to this site with the missing step I needed (http://www.artfulsoftware.com/php_mysql_win.html). I spent a good part of the afternoon trying set this up. Hopefully it helps someone out.

Hi everyone, well i've been trying to configure, install, this setup i.e., Apache, php and mysql, well the prb wat i faced was that most of the installation instructions were quite outdated as they used quite old softwares... well these are the simple steps install and configure this entire setup, hope it will help u....(this is for windows)
Software versions:
Apache - 2.2.11
Mysql - 5.1.30-community
Php - PHP Version 5.2.8
Step 1: Default installation of Apache
Step 2: Default installation of mysql
Step 3: Download php zip file, extract it to ur C: drive under c:\php
Step 4: Add these paths to ur classpath, "C:\php", "C:\php\ext", incase ur installation directory is php, else watever is the name of ur php installation directory use that instead of php
Step 5: Open httpd.conf, that is located in Apache web server installation folder, under conf directory i.e.,
Apache Installation folder > conf > httpd.conf
Add these lines....
>LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
>AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Step 6: goto php installation directory, there u'll find a file named php-ini-recommended, rename it to, php-ini.
Step 7: Now time to modify php-ini, file... open the file in notepad, look for extension=php_mysql.dll, uncomment it, i.e., delete ";" thats prefixed...also look for "extension_dir=" append "C:\php\ext" incase ur php installation directory is php else "C:\%installation dir%\ext"
Step 8: Copy libmysql.dll to c:\windows\system32
done.......... ;)

Just a quick note that the visual C requirements for PHP under a windows 64 bit environment aren't for the x64 version, but for the x86 version. Tried installing PHP 5.4 on Server 2008 R2 after installing the x64 version and got:
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.
Which is basically saying that it can't find the correct C++ package, so after installing the x86 version this error went away. YMMV.

Symptoms:
MySQL is enabled in php.ini, console run of phpinfo() shows that MySQL is enabled, phpinfo() under IIS shows no MySQL.
Solution:
For 32-bit Windows - copy libmysql.dll to WINDOWS\System32\ directory.
For 64-bit Windows, when IIS is running 32-bit application pool, instead of copying libmysql.dll to WINDOWS\System32\ directory, copy it to WINDOWS\SysWOW64\ directory.
