2. Create a folder PHP in your hard disk for PHP.

I strongly recommend using


C:/PHP.

3. Unzip all the files in the directory you created. The PHP folder will now
contain several other folders and about 30 files.

4. In the PHP folder, locate the file called php.ini-development. Make a copy of it
and rename the copy php.ini

6. Configure the following:


Enable Short Open Tags
Search the line: short_open_tag = Off and change it to short_open_tag = On

Go to the Error Handling ang Logging Section and locate error_reporting = E_ALL &
~E_NOTICE and change it to error_reporting = E_ALL
This will ensure that your PHP is robust.

Go to the Path and Directories Section and locate extension_dir = �./� and change
it to extension_dir = �C:\php\ext\�
NOTE: Change the path to where you extracted the PHP files.

Go to the Dynamic Extensions Section. You will see a long list of titled Windows
Extensions. You can enable these extra features any time by removing the semicolon
from the beginning of the line for the extension you want. Here�s a list of
important extensions:

;extension=php_mbstring.dll

;extension=php_gd2.dll

;extension=php_mysql.dll and ;extension=php_mysqli.dll and add these two lines


extension=php_pdo.dll and extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll� for mySQL

;extension=php_pdo_pgsql.dll and ;extension=phppgsql.dll -for PostgreSQL

Go to the Module Setting Section. Edit only for Mail Function


Change SMTP = localhost to SMTP = smtp.yahoo.com
Note: Change smtp.example.com to your appropriate outgoing address. For instance,
your email address is [email protected], your outgoing address is probably
smtp.yahoo.com. Remove the semicolon from the beginning of the line
sendmail_from = then put the necessary email address.

Last, locate this line


;session.save_path = �/tmp�
Remove the semicolon from the beginning of the line and change the setting in
quotes to
session.save_path = �C:\Windows\Temp�

7. Save and close php.ini

Add PHP to your environment variables:


1. Open the Windows Contol Panel(Start -> Settings -> Control Panel). Double Click
the System icon. Select the Advanced tab and click Environment Variables

3. Locate this line
