PHP integrated Environment vs. separate installation of the original version of the environment

There are many environments running PHP, and under Windows there are apache+php+mysql under Apache+php+mysql and Iis+php+mysql,linux. The latter has no choice but to have more.

We usually study and work is still used in the Windows system, when the configuration of the environment, a search on the Web, PHP integrated environment a large. So, how about using PHP to integrate the environment? Should the integrated environment be used or is it better to install the original ecology step by step?

Here is my personal experience to analyze their differences.

On the study sex:

Installing the native version allows you to learn how to configure Apache+php+mysql or iis+php+mysql, so that you can understand how they work so much that later can be familiar with configuring the personalized environment that they need. Integrated environment, what all help you do, that is, after a long time, also do not know how the bottom of the working principle, once there are problems, you will still be overwhelmed.

Stability on:

I remember when I first started to learn PHP, I always feel it is difficult to install the PHP environment, not here is not in place is that lane wrong. Then on Baidu, PHP integration environment. I used Wampserver and Apmserv, just beginning to feel good, with a long time found always easy to trouble, especially Apmserv, often encountered MySQL can not start the situation. Later, the work of the need to learn to install the original eco-environment of PHP, learned to find, in fact, installation is very simple, a search on the internet, a lot of graphics and text tutorials, so it is not difficult to install, and a study, learn, lifelong benefit, why not? Since then I have been using, has never been a problem, and often to change according to the requirements of some configuration, now to some basic things already very familiar.

Therefore, I personally see, if it is to meet the needs of the moment, such as on someone else's computer for the shortcut can be installed in the PHP integration environment, if it is their own learning and work, then try to configure the native version.
