Simple setup IIS configuration PHP debugging environment

Windows built-in Internet Information Services (IIS) has good support for ASP, so debugging ASP pages in IIS is very convenient. But some friends' webpages use PHP programming technology. By default, IIS does not support PHP. Manually configuring IIS's PHP debugging environment is very difficult for us rookies. How can we make IIS support PHP? Here's a way to configure the PHP debugging environment in IIS in just a few simple steps.

In the Windows Components Wizard dialog box, select the Internet Information Services (IIS) option (Figure 1). Click the "Next" button to complete the installation of the IIS component.
