title: How to Run PHP on IIS7.5 Express?
body: <p>I have Win XP SP3 and have installed IIS7.5 Express and want to run PHP on it.</p>
  
  <p>I am able to run simple HTML code on the server, I am able to start and stop the server by running iisservices.exe, but I am not able to run php scripts on it.</p>
  
  <p>If I have the following PHP file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;? php 
  echo "hello world";
  ?&gt;
  &lt;html&gt;HI&lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The output is <code>HI</code> but the PHP script doesn't run.</p>
  
  <p>I have followed the steps described in this article to install PHP:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><a href="http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/724/install-and-configure-php/" rel="noreferrer">http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/724/install-and-configure-php/</a></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But can't proceed from step 10 onwards because IIS Express doesn't have an IIS Management Console MMC snap-in.</p>
  
  <p>How do I configure IIS Express to run PHP?</p>
