2.php can run on Microsoft Windwos! !
PHP was originally running on the UNIX platform, but its portability is very good, or it can run on Windows and IIS Web servers. Today, a large number of PHP users Based on Windows 2000 / NT / 95/98, you can find a PHP tool that is running on Windows platform.
Many PHP programmers like to develop their programs on Windows, and then configure on a large Linux server, such as running Linux IBM mini, Compaq Dec Alpha, and Sun SPARC.
The biggest advantage of PHP is that it can also be run on UNIX / Linux. Developers on UNIX can serve the PHP user service under MS Windows, and the PHP code developed under Windows can also be used without any changes, which is used for UNIX / Linux.
PHP itself is completely written by C language, so it can be widely running on various platforms, such as BEOS, UNIX, MS Windows, Apple Macintosh, IBM OS / 2, and more other operating systems.
PHP is running very fast, much more than Java. For web development, it is better to forget the Java / JSP! PHP, PHP, will be PHP! PHP will also become a multi-purpose object-oriented scripting language.

3.1 Installation of PHP in Microsoft Windows 95/98 / NT / 2000
PHP is very popular on the Microsoft Windows platform, and others are amazed, it is also popular than Microsoft's own web scripting language. The reason is that PHP is an object-oriented scripting language, while ASP is not. PHP has a large number of reusable classes (objects), on the Windows platform, PHP is much faster than ASP, and more features and features than ASP. PHP is more robust, more reliable, and power than ASP. Since PHP can run in MS Windows, Linux, Mac OS, and all UNIX, it has a huge user base. The biggest advantage is that you can develop programs on Windows and then configure on UNIX / Linux, and vice versa.
PHP users under Windows98 / NT / 2000 are much more than other operating systems, because PHP is installed on Windows98 / NT / 2000 is simple. PHP has an executable installer, you only need to double-click the EXE file, you can automatically install it automatically in 2 minutes.

3.2 Quickly install Apache Web Server (10 seconds) in Windows 95/98 / NT / 2000
Run PHP on Windows, you need a web server, you can use Microsoft IIS, you can also use free Apache. You can save you for many times because you can install it through the Apache installation file setup.exe.
PHPTTRIAD is a package including Apache, PHP, MySQL, available from http://www.phpgeek.com/phptriad.php or its mirror site http://sourceforge.net/projects/phptriad
download. I strongly recommend PHPTTRIAD, which is very popular among Windows users (several million times have been downloaded).
Apache binary: -http: //httpd.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32
3.3 Microsoft SQL Server
The SQL server can be installed on a machine that does not need to run Windows, and you also need a SQL server to make Web development. I recommend you to install Redhat Linux and PostgreSQL RPMS on very old PCs (such as Pentium or 486). Your database does not require any Windows graphics interface, you can launch PostgreSQL directly on the console. PostgreSQL
The speed is probably 3 times the Oracle and MS SQL Server.
PHP's PostgreSQL Support library is written by Adam Sussman, his email address is: asussman@vidya.com
PostgreSQL supporting Windows NT / 2000 can be downloaded from http://www.askesis.nl.
