Php 5.3 or 6 windows install [closed]

Question

How do I install latest versions of PHP as Apache 2 module? PHPIniDir directive throws error. And what's more important, there's no php5apache2.dll file or similar in latest distributions of PHP!

Example distr php 5.3

Answer 1

According to the PHP QA site, if you are using PHP with Apache 1 or Apache2 then you need to be using the VC6 release candidates, not the VC9. VC9 is for use with IIS.

Since the link you provided in your question goes to a VC9 download, I would assume that's what you downloaded, and I'd say you should go download the VC6 version instead.
