php5.3 php5.4 install and config on Windows VC6 and VC9

Senario

Yii2 framework begins to require PHP version above PHP 5.4.0

eg. This code is used in Yii2 PHP 5.3.5 does not support

$extension = ['name' => $package->getName(),'version' => $package->getVersion(),];

Download & Install PHP5.4 for Windows

Window php-5.4.0 no longer supports VC6 's compilation package, only downloaded to VC9 's compilation package.

php5.4 [VC9] installation in VC6 environment

The Apache under Win is compiled with VC6, and its plugin (Apache module) must also be compiled with VC6.
PHP5.4 Why not support VC6? Because VC6 is too old for the tools of the 1998.
Not used means that PHP is not available in Apache mod mode.
PHP is now mounted in fast-cgi to support Apache, and even Microsoft IIS has abandoned the ISAPI switch to use FAST-CGI.
In different processes, VC9 PHP fast-cgi through interprocess communication support Apache, even if Apache is not VC is not the win version is no problem.
To download Apache mod_fcgid, and then configure PHP to Fcgid. You can use it.
