You need to install IIS (Internet Information Server), the M$ web server. Then download the PHP binaries (not the .exe or the .msi file) and follow the instructions.

thank's for reply

I do'nt know what 's PHP binaries.
please describe for me that, what 's PHP binaries ??

you can download php in two forms.
binaries: package ready to use with no compilation required
source code: you need to compile php source in order to use it

I think the binaries option might be less risky, less config problems to setup.

good luck

Actually, there are two other ways you can get PHP for windows (but they are both v similar). If you have the latest version of MS installer on your computer (i.e. if you have ME/2000/XP) then you can download the .msi file. If you dont have the latest version (i.e. on 95/98/NT) the you can download the .exe version.

I would like to point out that downloading and installing PHP by using these files won't give you as much functionality as if you download the .zip version.
