They provide VC15 and VS16 builds of Apache for x86 and x64. We use their binaries to build the Apache SAPIs.</p> <p>With Apache, using the apache2handler SAPI, you have to use the Thread Safe (TS) versions of PHP.</p> <h4><u>VS16 & VS17</u></h4> <p>More recent versions of PHP are built with VS16 or VS17 (Visual Studio 2019 or 2022 compiler respectively) and include improvements in performance and stability.</p> <p> - The VS16 and VS17 builds require to have the <i>Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015-2022</i> <a href="https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe">x64</a> or <a href="https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe">x86</a> installed</p> <h4><u>TS and NTS</u></h4> <p><strong>TS</strong> refers to multithread capable builds. <strong>NTS</strong> refers to single thread only builds. Use case for <strong>TS</strong> binaries involves interaction with a multithreaded <strong>SAPI</strong> and PHP loaded as a module into a web server. For <strong>NTS</strong> binaries the widespread use case is interaction with a web server through the FastCGI protocol, utilizing no multithreading (but also for example CLI).</p> <h4><u>What is PGO?</u></h4> <p><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e7k32f4k%28v=vs.110%29.aspx" target="_blank">Profile Guided Optimization</a> is an optimization feature available in Microsoft's Visual C++ compiler that allows you to optimize an output file based on profiling data collected during test runs of the application or module.<p> <p><strong>Links:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e7k32f4k%28v=vs.110%29.aspx" target="_blank">PGO on MSDN</a></li> <li><a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/speed-up-windows-php-performance-using-profile-guided-optimization-pgo/" target="_blank">Visual C++ Team Blog - PGO with PHP</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.ksingla.net/2010/05/php-pgo-build-for-maximum-performance-on-windows/" target="_blank">PHP PGO build for maximum performance</a> (old)</li> </ul> <a name="x64"> </a> <h4><u>amd64 (x86_64) Builds</u></h4> <p><strong>PHP 7 provides full 64-bit support.</strong> The x64 builds of PHP 7 support native 64-bit integers, LFS, 64-bit memory_limit and much more.</p> <p>x64 builds are recommended (almost all Windows installations support x64).</p> <a name="long_path"></a> <h4><u>Long and multibyte path</u></h4> <p><strong>PHP 7.1+ supports long and UTF-8 paths.</strong> See the <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/migration71.windows-support.php">manual</a> for details.</p> <br/> </div> <span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span> </div> <div class="block"> <span class="corners-top"><span></span></span> <div class="info"> <h3>Archives</h3> <p> Past releases are available from our <a href="https://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/archives/">archives</a>, older versions not found there can be found at the <a href="http://museum.php.net/">Museum</a>. </p> </div> <span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span> </div> </div>  </li> <li id="main-column"> <div class="content"> <div class="adv-block"> <span class="corners-top"><span></span></span> <div class="info entry"> <h2 name="top" id="top">Binaries and sources Snapshots</h2> <select onchange="window.location.hash=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value"> <option value="top" selected="true">Select an option to direct access...</option> <optgroup label="php-7.4"> <option value="php-7.4-nts-windows-vc15-x64-avx">VC15 x64 AVX Non Thread Safe</option> </optgroup> </select> </div> <span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span> </div> <div class="block"> <span class="corners-top"><span></span></span> <div class="info entry"> <h3 id="php-7.4" name="php-7.4" class="summary entry-title">PHP 7.4</h3> <p class="news-date"></p> <p>Revision: (January 01 1970, 01:00:00)</p> <div class="innerbox"> <span class="corners-top"><span></span></span> <h4 id="php-7.4-nts-windows-vc15-x64-avx" name="php-7.4-nts-windows-vc15-x64-avx">VC15 x64 AVX Non Thread Safe </h4> <p><b>WARNING!</b> These builds are experimental and require a CPU with the AVX instruction set.</p> <p> <ul> Build missing or in progress. </ul> </p> <span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span> </div> </div> <span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span> </div>  <p class="t-center"> </p> </div>  </li> </ul>  </li>  <li id="footer"> <span class="corners-top"><span></span></span> <div class="info"> <a href="http://www.php.net/copyright.php">Copyright © 2001-2025 The PHP Group</a><br> All rights reserved. </div> <span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span> </li> </ul> </body> </html>
