Installing PHP on modern Microsoft Windows systems and recommended configuration with common web servers.
</para>
<para>
The Official releases of PHP on Windows are recommended for production use.
However, you are welcome to build PHP from Source.
You will need a Visual Studio environment.

<title>Install Requirements</title>
<para>
PHP requires at least Windows 2008/Vista.
Either 32-Bit or 64-bit (<acronym>AKA</acronym> X86 or X64. PHP does not run on Windows RT/WOA/ARM).
As of PHP 7.2.0 Windows 2008 and Vista are no longer supported.
</para>
<para>
PHP requires the Visual C runtime (CRT). Many applications require that so it may already be installed.
</para>
<para>
The Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 is suitable
for all these PHP versions, see
<link xlink:href="https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/">https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/</link>.
</para>
<para>
You MUST download the x86 CRT for PHP x86 builds and the x64 CRT for PHP x64 builds.
</para>
<para>
If CRT is already installed, the installer will tell you that and not change anything.
</para>
<para>
The CRT installer supports the /quiet and /norestart command-line switches, so you can script running it.

<para>
PECL extensions are pre-built for Windows and available from:
<link xlink:href="http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/">http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/</link>
</para>
<para>
Some extensions use features specific to some Unix systems and so are not available on Windows.
Otherwise, all extensions are available for Windows.
