-Windows Installer (PHP 5.2 and later)
-
-   The Windows PHP installer for later versions of PHP is built using MSI
-   technology using the Wix Toolkit (http://wix.sourceforge.net/). It will
-   install and configure PHP and all the built-in and PECL extensions, as
-   well as configure many of the popular web servers such as IIS, Apache,
-   and Xitami.
-
-   First, install your selected HTTP (web) server on your system, and make
-   sure that it works. Then proceed with one of the following install
-   types.
-     __________________________________________________________________
-
-Normal Install
-
-   Run the MSI installer and follow the instructions provided by the
-   installation wizard. You will be prompted to select the Web Server you
-   wish to configure first, along with any configuration details needed.
-
-   You will then be prompted to select which features and extensions you
-   wish to install and enable. By selecting "Will be installed on local
-   hard drive" in the drop-down menu for each item you can trigger whether
-   to install the feature or not. By selecting "Entire feature will be
-   installed on local hard drive", you will be able to install all
-   sub-features of the included feature ( for example by selecting this
-   options for the feature "PDO" you will install all PDO Drivers ).
-
-   Warning
-
-   It is not recommended to install all extensions by default, since many
-   other them require dependencies from outside PHP in order to function
-   properly. Instead, use the Installation Repair Mode that can be
-   triggered thru the 'Add/Remove Programs' control panel to enable or
-   disable extensions and features after installation.
-
-   The installer then sets up PHP to be used in Windows and the php.ini
-   file, and configures certain web servers to use PHP. The installer will
-   currently configure IIS (CGI mode only), Apache, Xitami, and Sambar
-   Server; if you are using a different web server you'll need to
-   configure it manually.
-     __________________________________________________________________
-
-Silent Install
-
-   The installer also supports a silent mode, which is helpful for Systems
-   Administrators to deploy PHP easily. To use silent mode:
-   msiexec.exe /i php-VERSION-win32-install.msi /q
-
-   You can control the install directory by passing it as a parameter to
-   the install. For example, to install to e:\php:
-   msiexec.exe /i php-VERSION-win32-install.msi /q INSTALLDIR=e:\php
-
-   You can also use the same syntax to specify the Apache Configuration
-   Directory (APACHEDIR), the Sambar Server directory (SAMBARDIR), and the
-   Xitami Server directory (XITAMIDIR).
-
-   You can also specify what features to install. For example, to install
-   the mysqli extension and the CGI executable:
-   msiexec.exe /i php-VERSION-win32-install.msi /q ADDLOCAL=cgi,ext_php_mysqli
-
-   The current list of Features to install is as follows:
-MainExecutable - php.exe executable
-ScriptExecutable - php-win.exe executable
-ext_php_* - the various extensions ( for example: ext_php_mysql for MySQL )
-apache13 - Apache 1.3 module
-apache20 - Apache 2.0 module
-apache22 - Apache 2,2 module
-apacheCGI - Apache CGI executable
-iis4ISAPI - IIS ISAPI module
-iis4CGI - IIS CGI executable
-NSAPI - Sun/iPlanet/Netscape server module
-Xitami - Xitami CGI executable
-Sambar - Sambar Server ISAPI module
-CGI - php-cgi.exe executable

-Windows Installer (PHP 5.1.0 and earlier)
-
-   The Windows PHP installer is available from the downloads page at
-   http://www.php.net/downloads.php. This installs the CGI version of PHP
-   and for IIS and Xitami, it configures the web server as well. The
-   installer does not include any extra external PHP extensions
-   (php_*.dll) as you'll only find those in the Windows Zip Package and
-   PECL downloads.
-
-     Note: While the Windows installer is an easy way to make PHP work,
-     it is restricted in many aspects as, for example, the automatic
-     setup of extensions is not supported. Use of the installer isn't the
-     preferred method for installing PHP.
-
-   First, install your selected HTTP (web) server on your system, and make
-   sure that it works.
-
-   Run the executable installer and follow the instructions provided by
-   the installation wizard. Two types of installation are supported -
-   standard, which provides sensible defaults for all the settings it can,
-   and advanced, which asks questions as it goes along.
-
-   The installation wizard gathers enough information to set up the
-   php.ini file, and configure certain web servers to use PHP. One of the
-   web servers the PHP installer does not configure for is Apache, so
-   you'll need to configure it manually.
-
-   Once the installation has completed, the installer will inform you if
-   you need to restart your system, restart the server, or just start
-   using PHP.
-
-   Warning
-
-   Be aware, that this setup of PHP is not secure. If you would like to
-   have a secure PHP setup, you'd better go on the manual way, and set
-   every option carefully. This automatically working setup gives you an
-   instantly working PHP installation, but it is not meant to be used on
-   online servers.
