Running both PHP and ASP on IIS

Guest
May 17, 2006 May 17, 2006
I currently use an ASP programmer who uses our clients WIndows server with IIS. Due to his high work load we (me and the client) are looking to use / hire a PHP programmer but obviously have to use the same IIS server...

In short; is it possible to install and run PHP on the server when ASP is already being used?

Many thanks in advance

Why don't you just hire another ASP programmer?

Yes, it is. You can find the official instructions here:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis.php

They look horrendous, but it's actually quite easy. Download the ZIP
version of the PHP Windows binaries from here:

http://www.php.net/downloads.php

DO NOT use the Windows installer version. It's greatly cut down, plays
around with Windows system files, and is likely to cause you
considerable grief.

Unzip the PHP files to a new folder at the top level of your main drive.
Then install PHP as an ISAPI module of IIS. You can then run ASP and PHP
on the same server.

<shameless plug>Step by step instructions for installing PHP on IIS
without tears can be found in my book, "Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver
8".</shameless plug>
