I set up lots of development boxes using Windows/PHP and I've found that the
quickest road to getting started is just to download and run FoxServ:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/foxserv/foxserv-v1.0.exe
It will install PHP 4.0.5/mySQL 3.23.37/Apache 1.3.19 with GD and all that
jazz and it takes literally about 1-3 minutes (3 minutes on a 486 running
Windows 95) to be staring at a working PHP page, and from there, you can
modify configs as you like to change Apache's document root to a different
directory if you don't want all your web-accessible files to be in
C:\FoxServ\www, etc.... I've been working on a tool to configure
post-installed FoxServ, but it's not finished yet.
I'm not the developer of the installer program, but this is one of the best
installers I've seen. The only problem is that the developer ran out of time
and is trying to pass the project on to someone else now. So there won't be
any updates until someone takes it on.
