Please Mr. Alexander, I need Help on How to install php 5, IIS 6.0 and mysql Database on either window Xp or window server 2003. I have tried it for days now but no positive result. Thanks

You need to run it on IIS 6? otherwise, a package like xampp will install perfectly on either of those operating systems with apache, php and mysql in one installation. You just have to uninstall IIS 6 first.

Thanks Mr. Orjan. What if i want to develop my php applicatons in Oracle and Mssql database 2008, can this XAMMP package work or is there any other package or dependecy files that can do that.
Thank you

It will work fine, but you have to enable the oracle and mssql support in php by editing it's php.ini and remove it's comment mark on each row.
To enable oracle, change the row

;extension=php_oci8.dll

to

extension=php_oci8.dll

and the same with

;extension=php_mssql.dll

To make it work right, you might need to change some parameters in the [OCI8] part of the ini file, but try without change it first.
