Windows Opens for PHP

By Alex Handy

November 1, 2006 — At the annual PHP conference on Tuesday, Zend and Microsoft announced a partnership to improve PHP's performance on Windows Internet Information Server. The agreement will forge numerous avenues of development for PHP on both Windows Server 2003 and future releases of Windows Longhorn. Zend's end of the bargain includes the creation of a Windows testing lab to aid development of faster and more integrated PHP updates. Microsoft, on the other hand, will build a new IIS component, called FastCGI, through which PHP will interact with the IIS server.

"Interoperability continues to be an important requirement for our customers-particularly when it comes to open-source applications that run on Windows. This announcement today continues our commitment to making it easier for partners and developers-regardless of the development model they employ-to take advantage of increased reliability of the Microsoft Windows Server platform," said Bill Hilf, general manager of technical platform strategy at Microsoft. "As Zend is a clear leader in the PHP community, we are excited to be working with them on this joint collaboration effort designed to provide developers using PHP with the best possible experience within a Microsoft environment."
