Troubleshooting PHP Installation on Windows
My PHP installation is not working? I am not able to run my PHP scripts? A simple PHPINFO page is not loading in my browser? These are typical questions I hear from users in the forum. I would still say the best way to install PHP is to use WPI as described by me here and here. I am telling this because WPI installation involves non-manual steps of installing PHP 5.2.11 or PHP5.3.

Upgrading to PHP 5.3 - an easy way
I already talked about how WPI can help you installing PHP on Windows running IIS. If you haven't read that post, I would encourage you to read that post before continue reading this. The link is here. So wondering why I am asking you to read the previous post of mine. Well the reason is we are going to upgrade to PHP 5.3 following my previous post and then doing a little bit of trick. Again I have seen a lot of forum posting in the IIS forum where people have asked about this. I would again ensure that manual steps are extremely limited and that most of the process is done by the software.

Installing PHP on Windows
There has been numerous post on the IIS forum where people have difficulty installing PHP on Windows. There are many reasons for this. However the main issue is that people try to do the installation manually and any manual step is prone to error. It is not a bad idea to do the installation manually but I would suggest to leave that to an advanced user who knows PHP well and has successfully configured it many times. For novice user or people who are just starting using PHP, I am going to talk about an easy way to install PHP on Windows and IIS. This article applies to user running IIS from Windows XP to Windows 7.
