Installing the PHP environment - spaceshiptrooper [Style]

Windows Part 9


So now you finally finished installing Apache, PHP, MySQL, and PHPMyAdmin and this is basically the end of this tutorial. If you want me to make more topics on how to install PHP on other operating systems, create a topic with polls and tag my username in it. I’ll gladly try my best to show you guys the best ways to install your favorite development environment.


I also am going to end this topic by linking a Youtube video on how to upgrade PHP on Windows. The same steps can basically be applied to downgrading as well. Once you go past a certain PHP version though, you’ll need to get the older Apache binaries in order for you to correctly have a working PHP environment. I would strongly suggest not downgrading past PHP 5.4. Lower than that should not be used. Even PHP 5.4 should not be used anymore.

The video is a bit out of date, but it can still be applied. I recorded this short video during the time when RC6 was still sort of new and they had just recently came out with the final candidate for PHP 7.1.
