simple PHP install

[sail3005]

A while ago i had this easy program to install PHP on IIS. you just ran the exe and that was it. Is was called like Easy PHP install or somehting. does anyone know what i am talking about or where to get this?

i also found this:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/phptriad/

it installs Apache, PHP, and MySQL! Can it get any easier?

Yes I have heard of that triad one. your right, how much easier can it get, but what are you learning by installing it so it works right. try doing it without all that extra stuff and get it right. then you will learn something.

yeah, true. i have installed it twice by hand though. the first times it was fun/challlenging. now, a pain in the ass

Hmm. I thought the PHP installer off the official site was pretty easy itself.

Yeah,

I use apache for testing web pages etc.

1st time - easy

After a full format it took me about an hour to fix it again.

The first time i must have got the installer program for apache, but the second time i downloaded the Microsoft Installer program. I didn't configure Apache, so I had to read a few parts of the manual (same for mySQL)
