How to treat the Windows platform PHP application development, I believe that many inexperienced people do not know what to do, so this paper summarizes the causes of the problem and solutions, through this article I hope you can solve this problem.

Cal Evans, a developer who has worked in IT for 26 years, came to two surprising conclusions after a lot of research on how PHP runs on Windows:

1 PHP runs smoothly on Windows as long as it is installed correctly.

Cal installs Windows Server 08 on VirtualBox and conducts experiments. The installation method is to install PHP,FastCGI,URL Re-writer and WordPress using Web Platform Installer. Although there is no built-in MySQL, Cal is very satisfied with the performance, especially when Wordpress runs well. (related readings: new installation of Apache2,PHP5,MYSQL5,Zend under Windows | details of installation and configuration of PHP 5.0under Windows)

Of course, Cal also made it clear that he would still choose the Linux server on the production line. After all, what cheap and fast open source software and open source OS can enjoy on Windows is limited. However, for vendors based on Windows infrastructure, PHP is a stable and fast choice.

Many open source developers reject Microsoft simply because it is Microsoft.

However, Cal recently conducted a survey on twtpoll, in which half of the respondents already agreed with Microsoft's sincerity about PHP.

Cal is an IT practitioner who has been following Microsoft since the Windows 1.0 era, so he knows Microsoft and Windows very well. For example, he spoke highly of Windows NT Server, which is an important open server operating system. Cal believes that Microsoft's good attitude towards PHP is wise, and the core of Microsoft is different from what it used to be, because elites such as Sam Ramji,Laruen Cooney,Josh Holms,Drew Robbins and Joe Stagner there will gradually improve Microsoft's attitude towards open source. (51CTO Editor's Note: Microsoft's attitude towards open source has improved in every way in recent years. For example, the recent settlement between Microsoft and Tomtom on patent infringement, the proximity between Microsoft and Eclipse at the Eclipse conference, and then the release of ASP.NET MVC source code and CCI tool source code under Microsoft open source license)

At the very least, Windows is a good choice for PHP application development.
