Windows PHP 64-bit or 32-bit

I want to install PHP on Windows 2016 Server Standard 64-bit OS, but I am confused as there is no FastCGI available for PHP 7.x only 5.x

Should I manually install PHP 7 64-bit or 32-bit on IIS ? Or should I use the old FastCGI with PHP 5.3 which is 32-bit?

Solution

  • php-cgi.exe is included as standard in the PHP Binaries. You just need to set up a FastCGI handler mapping in IIS once you've downloaded and unzipped the PHP binaries.
