PHP 5.4 not available for windows + Apache

PHP

I'd like to install the new PHP 5.4 on my Windows machine. I'm running Apache 2.2 on it. Reading the info on http://windows.php.net/download/, it says "If you are using PHP with Apache 1 or Apache2 from apache.org you need to use the VC6 versions of PHP". I guess I'm in that case, I just donloaded Apache from apache.org.

However, there are no VC6 versions available of PHP 5.4, not even of PHP 5.3. How can I install PHP 5.4 on my Windows machine then ?

You needed to keep reading a bit further down the page.

"VC9 versions of Apache can be fetched at Apache Lounge. We use their binaries to build the Apache SAPIs."

Just be sure to get the 32 bit version on the download page.

Php – Apache+PHP on Windows Server 2008

I recently installed Apache on Windows Server 2008.

I just downloaded the latest stable release for both software packages. Note that for PHP, you need to keep this in mind (from http://windows.php.net/download/):

If you are using PHP with Apache 1 or Apache2 from apache.org you need to use the VC6 versions of PHP.

Now the installer will list Apache 2.x as a configuration option.

If you are able to install, but not configure PHP, please comment on my answer, and I will provide you with some directives on how to set up PHP for apache with 2 lines in the configuration file.

sorry I would leave this as a comment but I can't: if you don't need version 5.3.3 and version 5.3.1 is fine too then I'd suggest that you stick with XAMPP which does all the setup work for you
