Installation of PHP and its modules

We know that the ASP's operation requires PWS or the support of the IIS server, and it cannot run without the two servers. ASP's server support installation typically includes ASP

The language interpreter and the WEB server.

Similarly, the installation of PHP is divided into two parts: one for the installation of PHP and its modules, and two for the Web server. Installation of PHP and its modules, including the installation of PHP core files,

Installation of related extension modules and PHP. INI file settings for various options.

PHP does not play much of a role without a Web server, so you must install a Web server and make the necessary configuration so that the Web server can handle PHP feet

This.

Now most of our operating system is Microsoft Windows system, next we will first introduce the Windows operating platform under the PHP operating environment and the installation of the WEB server

I. Installation of PHP and its modules

The installation of PHP is relatively simple. First of all we want to download from the http://www.php.net/site to adapt to their own platform PHP compression package (the example used in the compression package for php-4.1.2.tar.gz), unpack them, and then click Install, usually we install it to the c:php directory ( This depends on the personal operating system letter.

For all of the required plug-in modules must have a corresponding dynamic link library. If you install the module file is not included in PHP, you can go to the http://www.php.net/website to find and download, and then copy to the c:php directory. This completes the installation.

The next step is to focus on the time, for just contact PHP, start learning PHP, this step is very important, because if not set up correctly, will not be able to explain any PHP script, that is, you need PHP basic operating conditions are not established.

Next we're going to php.ini the PHP configuration file. Copy the text profile php.ini-dist in the installation directory of PHP to your Windows directory (c:windows or c:winnt). and modify the file suffix name to php.ini. Here's a fairly important question to note, If you have php.ini files in both the Windows directory and the PHP directory, the files in the PHP directory will have a high priority, that is, the PHP interpreter would use the files in the PHP directory as PHP configuration files, and the Windows directory would not work.

A careful friend will notice that there is also a php.ini-optimized file in the PHP directory, which is similar to the configuration file of the PHP interpreter as Phin.ini-dist, but the former is optimized in some options to reduce the memory footprint of the system. However, it is recommended that you do not have a very familiar friend of Php do not use this file, because it is php3 retained, for PHP4 may cause some of the function of the module failed.

On the network, there are quite a lot of php.ini file configuration files, but there are a lot of misunderstanding, the following references to some of the mistaken content:
