Installing PHP 5 on Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6
Posted on February 13, 2007, under Technology.
If you have the need, here is a great guide on How to install PHP 5.x on Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.
My experience with PHP has always been on Linux, but now I have PHP 5.2.1 running successfully on a Win2003 machine, talking to a remote SQL Server.
Update: Using the guide above, I could use PHP’s OBDC functions to connect, but I couldn’t use the mssql functions or libraries like MDB2. To get those to work, I needed to make sure I had a recent version of ntwdblib.dll in both my PHP installation directory and C:\Windows\System32 directory. After running an iisreset, I could connect using both mssql and MDB2.
