Hello all,

I've been tasked to create Production ready builds of
PHP 5.2.17 and PHP 5.3.6 to run on IIS 7.0 web servers. The
StepByStepBuild wiki instructions were perfect, I was able to get a PHP
5.3.6 build in no time at all. However, not having VC6, I was forced to
use VC9 to compile 5.2.17. I basically followed the same instructions
for building PHP 5.3.6 just used different source. The build was
successful, however I have to question what possible issues I've
introduced using VC9 and Windows SDK 6.1 instead of using VC6 and
Platform SDK 2003.

The windows compiler wiki
shows that VC9 for 5.2.x is not officially supported but known to work.
This comment makes me hesitant to deploy this build to a Production
environment. I looked around the MSDN and found that Microsoft no longer
supports VC6 and can no longer be downloaded via their site. Is there
any way to obtain VC6 anymore?? I can't use the PHP pre build binaries
because we want to have the ability to customize the code base.

What
do you all suggest, is PHP 5.2.17 built using VC9 with Windows SDK 6.1
Production quality? Or should I find a way to get a copy of VC6?

Thank you,

Andres Herrera

The wiki had a bit of an issue and had to be recovered. Some of the
data may be out of date.

For Windows, VC9 with SDK 6.1 is used to build PHP.

Our builds are production ready. Why do you want to build them again
on your own?

5.2 does not support VC9 and we won't change anything to make it work
with VC9. PHP 5.2 is also not supported anymore.

Use our builds for both 5.2 and 5.3 would be much easier for you, as
well as using only 5.3. But I suppose the later is not option for you.

Hey Andres,

How about using FastCGI with IIS for 5.2.X per this guide.
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/246/using-fastcgi-to-host-php -applications-on-iis-7/

That being said you should consider upgrading to 5.3x as Pierre suggests

You won't find any legal copy from microsoft, don't look there that
will spare you some time. Be sure to find the enterprise version or
the resulting binaries will be around 30% slower (raw perf).

However I still have no idea why in the world do you want to build it
yourself...
