First of all, You have to Download the install file from the PHP website. Then, You can go for step by steps like,

1. Make a directory on your computer for PHP 5 . Open the folder you want to want to save the directory in. Right-click in the open window. Click "New Folder." Name the folder "PHP" or "php5." For example "c:\php5." Substitute your directory for "c:\php5" whenever it appears in this article.

2. Locate and move the files from the sub directory Windows created for PHP in Step1 to the directory created in Step 2. Windows normally places the files in "php-5.x.x-Win32." To move the files, click "Edit" and then click "Select All." To copy the files, right-click and choose "Copy" or hold down the "Ctrl" key and the "C" key at the same time. Open your new directory, c:\php5. Hold down the "Ctrl" key and the "V" key at the same time or right-click and choose "Paste."

3. Find the file "php.ini-recommended" in the directory. Open the file in Notepad. Replace the following if they are not correct. Look for "error_reporting" and change it to "error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE." If your scripts don't work as intended, locate "register_globals" and change it to "register_globals = On." Find "register_argc_argv" and change it to "register_argc_argv = On." If your scripts pass information in strings like index.php?var1=value1&var2=value2, replace "doc_root" with the path to your Apache web directory. For example, "doc_root = C:\Apache2\htdocs." Find 'extension_dir"' and change it to 'extension_dir = "C:\php5\ext".' The SMTP line needs to read "SMTP = smtp.yourISP.com." And last is,

4. Save the edited file in the PHP 5 directory. For example, save as "php.ini" in "c:php5."

Windows PHP distributions are now available from a dedicated microsite at http://windows.php.net/download/. The choice is a little bewildering and the instructions are vague but, since we will be installing PHP as an Apache 2.2 module using the Apache Lounge build, so you should download the VC9 x86 Thread Safe Zip file.

General note:
Download the VC6 builds if you are using the standard Apache.org web server. The VC9 builds should be used for the Apache Lounge binaries or IIS.

A Thread Safe version should be used if you install PHP as an Apache module. The Non Thread Safe version should be used if you install PHP as a CGI binary.

You can now follow the instructions at How to Install PHP on Windows from step 2 onwards. Note that, in step 3, php.ini-recommended is now named php.ini-development; you still need make a copy and rename it php.ini.

If you have previously defined a working PHP configuration file, a tool such as WinMerge can help you compare and copy existing values to your new php.ini file

In the installation of PHP, i suggest you all to install your software manually. It works better that the auto installation of this software.

Manual installation offers several benefits:

    backing up, reinstalling, or moving the web server can be achieved in seconds (see 8 Tips for Surviving PC Failure) and
    you have more control over PHP and Apache configuration.

Step 1: download the files
Download the latest PHP 5 ZIP package from www.php.net/downloads.php

As always, virus scan the file and check its MD5 checksum using a tool such as fsum.

Step 2: extract the files
We will install the PHP files to C:\php, so create that folder and extract the contents of the ZIP file into it.

PHP can be installed anywhere on your system, but you will need to change the paths referenced in the following steps.

Step 3: configure php.ini
Copy C:\php\php.ini-recommended to C:\php\php.ini. There are several lines you will need to change in a text editor (use search to find the current setting).

One easy way to install PHP is use wamp or xampp server. Both are comparatively equal. Easy installation and easy to use.
