To configure your system:
1.
Make sure you have a web server (see 
 Checking for a web server 
(Windows)  on page 304
).
2.
Install the PHP application server (see 
 Installing a PHP application 
server (Windows)  on page 304
).
3.
Test your installation (see 
 Testing the PHP installation (Windows)  
on page 306
).
4.
Create a root folder (see
 Creating a root folder (Windows)

Checking for a web server (Windows) 
To develop and test dynamic web pages, you need a web server. A web 
server is software that serves web pages in response to requests from web 
browsers.
Make sure Microsoft IIS is installed and running on your hard disk or on a 
remote Windows computer. A quick way to check whether IIS is installed 
on a computer is to look at the folder structure to see whether it contains a 
C:\Inetpub or D:\Inetpub folder. IIS create this folder during installation.
If IIS is not installed, install it now. For instructions, see 
 Installing a Web 
Server  on page 231
.
After installing the web server, install the application server. 
Installing a PHP application server (Windows) 
To process dynamic web pages, you need an application server. An 
application server is software that helps a web server process web pages 
containing server side scripts or tags. When such a page is requested by a 
browser, the web server hands the page off to the application server for 
processing before sending the page to the browser. For more information, 
see 
 Understanding Web Applications  on page 217
. 
Make sure the PHP application server is installed and running on the 
system running IIS. (IIS may be located on your hard disk or on a remote 
Windows computer.) You can download and install it from the PHP 
website at 
www.php.net/downloads.php
.
