Microsoft is committed to supporting PHP as a first-class citizen on Windows. There are several initiatives to improve PHP performance and integration with Windows and Microsoft technologies. These include optimizing PHP for Windows, FastCGI support in IIS for better performance, the WinCache extension to accelerate PHP applications, and a SQL Server driver for PHP. Microsoft also provides tools to simplify PHP development and hosting on Windows, such as the Web Platform Installer, SDKs, and IDE plugins. Resources are available to help developers integrate PHP applications with Windows, Azure, and other Microsoft technologies.

PHP 5.3 on WindowsIs the most significant update to PHP on Windows!All libraries updated to latest versions(in some cases newer versions that used on Linux)Re-write of the build system from scratchTop PHP Windows community programmer working for Microsoft (Pierre Joye)Build with VS 2008Available in 32 and 64 bit versionCreated windows.php.net99% of all POSIX calls changed to native Windows calls
By the numbers: Running PHPBench looped 5xBoth computers are a HP 8 core (2 procs x Quad core) 16gb ram.Linux (Centos 5.2) vs. Windows Server 2008 x86NOTE: phpbench onlytests internal PHP engineperformance. It doesnot do IO of any kind.
FastCGI on IISHow and where will my application run?
PHP on Windows – HistoryIIS support has been there for a long timeApache runs on Windows as wellBut…IIS gives best performance on WindowsUnfortunately the choice was always between stability and performance…
Allow me to explain…
And along came improvement!
FastCGI
DemoFastCGI on IIS
IIS execution pipelineSince your PHP app is part of the IIS execution pipeline……you can use IIS URL rewriting…you can use IIS as a load balancer (ARR)www.viprive.com…you can use any HttpModule out thereASP.NET membership / authenticationOutput caching…
WinCache extensionMaking it even faster…
Windows Cache Extension (“WinCache”)PHP module for 5.2 and 5.3IIS specific PHP acceleratorSo only works in IIS!No code modifications needed in your applicationCache layers:Bytecode cache – Caches compiled PHP scriptsScript cache – Cache script sources in memory to reduce I/O access and UNC file share accessRelative file path cache – Caches relative file pathSession cache – Sessions stored in shared memoryPHP functions to obtain information about the cache statushttp://www.iis.net/download/WinCacheForPhp

SQL Server Driver for PHPData access should be fast as well!
SQL Server Driver for PHP v1.1PHP extension for WindowsSo only works on Windows!Reliable, scalable and fast integration with SQL Server for PHPRelies on the Microsoft SQL Server Native Client to communicate with SQL Server.http://bit.ly/cwDLR1
“Did you just forgetto mention PDO support?”
No, there is no PDO support. Oh, wait!Unless you want the new CTP bits!SQL Server Driver for PHP v2.0 CTPSupport for PHP Data Objects (PDO)Better UTF-8 supportExample: Drupal 7 on SQL Serverhttp://www.commerceguys.com/about/news/drupal-7-sql-server-previewhttp://bit.ly/cjGvO3
