We need our PHP application to be hosted on a 64-bit Windows OS due to another application requirement. However, after reading a little more about the topic, it turned out that the PHP implementation is intended only for a 32-bit Windows environment.
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP
PHP interpreters are available on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems, but only on Microsoft Windows is the official distribution a 32-bit implementation requiring Windows 32-bit compatibility mode when using the Internet Information Services (IIS) 64-bit Windows platform. Starting with PHP 5.3.0, experimental 64-bit versions are available for MS Windows. [22]
Will running IIS in 32-bit mode cause potential problems with PHP?
What are the events that people have had with this setting?
