Downloading and Installing PHP 5.3.1

This section provides a tutorial example on how to download and install PHP 5.3.1 on a Windows system.

Here is what I did to download and install PHP 5.3.1:

1. Go to http://windows.php.net/download/.

2. Click the "Zip" link in the "VC6 x86 Thread Safe" section. The download process starts.

3. Save the downloaded file to \local\php-5.3.1-Win32-VC6-x86.zip.

4. Unzip php-5.3.1-Win32-VC6-x86.zip to \local\php\ directory.

5. Open a command window, and try the following commands

C:\herong>\local\php\php -v
PHP 5.3.1 (cli) (built: Nov 19 2009 10:17:43)
Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 Zend Technologies

C:\herong>\local\php\php-cgi -v
PHP 5.3.1 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Nov 19 2009 10:17:41)
Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 Zend Technologies

Cool, both Command Line Interface (CLI) and Common Gateway Interface (CGI) of PHP are working!
